Perfect Table Inspiration

P.S.- Ordered our invitations and thank-you's. You won't be seeing them for a while, but get ready! They are perfect!!!

So, we are trying to order our invitations, but can't decide what time. We want the ceremony to be during the day, ending with a sunset then night reception. I can't figure out the farmer's almanac. Wedding at 6 or 6:30? 7?
When does it get dark May 1st, 2010, in St. Francisville, LA?

Something blue and super cute

Found my shoes, and they are exactly what I was looking for!

So this past week we:
-Bought shoes
-Booked Adam Hudson Photo (!!)
-Decided on groomsman pants
-Got everyone to buy their pants (I think..)

I want to say this stuff is not so hard, but I don't want to speak too soon!

WEDDING DRESS- SUCCESS!!

So Jean-Paul's e-mails and phone calls really paid off when they led us to Mimi's.

They were selling a couple of samples from older collections at a discount to make room for the newer collections. I didn't find "dream dress", but I certainly found a dreamy one that happened to be part of the sample sale. I didn't want to make the decision on the spot, but when I woke up today I decided that if someone else bought my dress I would be heartbroken. I called mom and told her, and she bought it over the phone- I think she was sold on it before I even tried it on.

I'm so relieved! I thought I would be nauseous after going through with it, but surprisingly, I feel very calm about it. I think it will be absolutely perfect for the kind of wedding we want. I don't want to give anything away, but I will show off a little and tell you..

Its Vera Wang :)
It was 50% off :) :)

Ok, so I sometimes refer to him as the groomzilla, but I have to acknowledge that I have the best fiance imaginable. I have spent hours on the internet trying to find the "dream dress"with no luck, and while I was at work yesterday he emailed Vera Wang and asked her if she still had it.. and she does! She also told him that we may be able to find it in New Orleans at Mimi's. So he called up Mimi and found out about a trunk sale with discounted Vera Wang. Soo I'm packing up a jeep full of bridesmaids and mom and heading there now.
So cute that Jean-Paul

Mini Vacay!!

We are planning a mini vacation to Atlanta for our 6 or 7 year anniversary (we can't decide what year it is), and I am so excited about checking out the bridal boutiques! Priscilla of Boston has a shop there, and I have fallen in love with one of her dresses that I can't afford. Not to mention my good friend has just moved there, so I'll have someone to shop with me.

Now we have to figure out how to get a hotel room since we decided to meet each other on a day that LSU would be playing Georgia. (It's October 3rd, even though Jean-Paul thinks its October 2nd.)

Anyone have any ATL suggestions?

Dream dress

This is from Vera Wang's Fall 2006 collection. Does anyone know how to get your hands on a dress from a collection that far back? Ive been eyeing this one for years. love love love it
