Brief Interruption

I just wanted to share with you guys that as of yesterday, December 14th I was officially done with my clinical rotations. WhoHOOO!!!! I had the privilege of celebrating this milestone with some of my favorite people; my amazing fiance, my future bro and sis-in-law (who also has her own amazing blog, you should definitely check it out, La Mode. What shall I do with all this extra time, you ask? Hahaha, I respond. Most of my time will be spent studying for my licensure exam and wedding stuff. This will take crazy time management skills on my part, wish me luck. I am currently at a coffee shop because I will not have internet service for a few days. So I wanted to leave you guys with a post to tide you over until I return. Lol. Here are some things I picked up on my perusal of the web:

This picture looks like the place I am having my reception at and I think it looks very fresh and light.

This is the look of my groomsmen, I decided. I like how the purple ties bring out the purple color scheme. Now that I have a more concrete idea in my head, I can go shopping! Yay. (Photo courtesy of Jennifer Childress Photography). I love how the candles are the focal part of the table setting. I like to see looks other than flowers, which can be really expensive!

This picture was also taken from Theknot.com and I like how all her bridesmaids are wearing different style black dresses. I'm sure that made shopping so much easier for everyone. The bouquets really bring the uniformity in.

In my constant search for the perfect makeup look, here is my latest find on Selita Ebanks. Its pretty but I'm not sure if it has the "wow" factor I am looking for. Will the purple be too matchy with the rest of the wedding? What do you think?

I really like the open and airy feeling of this room. I can imagine it filled with people during the cocktail hour, standing around and engaging in witty conversation. I like how the fabric is draped around those pedestals. I would put those on either side of the main reception door with a nice arrangement of candles or flowers. Now where can I find those for cheap? A future bride's work is never done. Sigh. Until next time my pretties!

Purple Bridal Shower

I was browsing Theknot.com and stumbled across this purple bridal shower theme. As you all know, I love all things purple and was super excited to share this with you all. So my ladies in waiting, get out your pen and paper and get ready!!! lol...just kidding.... I think my favorite picture is the purple ice cubes in the martini. I can't wait to create my special drink!! The second picture is the bride's chair, it looks like a dress! I like overall decor of the bridal shower, its super cute and super purple-ly!

Stressing Out...

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks but I am in the middle of possibly making some huge changes to the wedding so things are kind of at a standstill until I get all the answers I need. Its kind of stressing me out but it has to be done. I cannot wait until things are more settled and I can plan this wedding hopefully with no more hiccups. I am planning a long overdue visit to Davids Bridal this week. And I'm in my last few weeks of my rotations! WHO HOOO!!








In other wedding related news, I have been keeping on the lookout for makeup looks that I am interested in so that I can show my make up artist. My make up artist is just a good friend who's makeup always looks good and she did her sisters for her wedding. Once I have more time, I will see her so we can do some make up trials.
Here are some looks that I liked so far. Now the question of if they will look good on me is to be determined, as I am darker than both of these ladies: I really like the eyes on both of the women, I really want to accentuate my eyes.
