I'm allergic to my fake flowers -_-
Shannon Giraffes. in Do It Yourself, on January 15, 2014 at 10:18 AM

I've always had allergic reactions to weird things. I can't use normal laundry detergent, and finding a good body wash can be awful. I had this weird rash break out on my hand last week. I freaked...

Hair color.
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on November 27, 2013 at 7:15 PM

I just can't decide. I did highlights over the summer, and I loved it (the first picture was taken last week, so it's a bit faded)...(the second picture was taken the day it was dyed). I'm thinking...

Took me awhile, but back and married! A couple non-pro pics
Shannon Giraffes. in Etiquette and Advice, on February 2, 2014 at 11:09 PM

Phew it's been a busy 2 weeks. The wedding itself went off with minimal issues. It went by way too fast. I think the only thing that went wrong was the amount of no-shows!! We had 180 confirmed (this...

Shannon Giraffes. in Etiquette and Advice, on February 3, 2014 at 12:14 AM

I swear before I left I had finally made 5 stars!! I was gone for 2 weeks and I'm down to 4. What did I miss?

Another post got me thinking...
Shannon Giraffes. in Etiquette and Advice, on January 13, 2014 at 7:54 PM

As far as Thank You cards...who do you send one to? I was going to send one to each person that gave a gift or card (with or without money). But do you send one to everyone that attended the wedding...

Done with flowers...I think
Shannon Giraffes. in Style and Décor, on January 11, 2014 at 2:04 AM

Flowers are really a minor detail to me, so I'm not gonna stress it TOO much. But I wanted to know how you guys think they look. I'll settle for "I've seen worse". I'm hoping that the way they are...

And I finally got my 5th freakin star. YES I HAD TO MAKE A POST ABOUT IT, BECAUSE WE DON'T GET ENOUGH OF THESE. let's see....what's left on my to-do list. -finish assembling favors (we're doing hot...

Can I strangle my FH yet?
Shannon Giraffes. in Planning, on January 7, 2014 at 12:17 AM

So, my wedding is less than 3 weeks away, and Men's Wearhouse needs all of the men-folk to be measured and pay their deposits at least 2 weeks before the event date. Our wedding party has been picked...

Last minute stuff keeps popping up!
Shannon Giraffes. in Style and Décor, on January 3, 2014 at 1:32 AM

Every time I think I'm finally caught up, and that I'm done BUYING stuff, I remember something I've forgotten. I just ordered the cake topper, and I'm considering buying some more petals to scatter on...

Bouts and Bridesmaids bouquets...
Shannon Giraffes. in Style and Décor, on December 31, 2013 at 2:00 PM

So, I'm kinda dumb when it comes to flowers. I very strongly considered not having ANY except 1 small bouquet for me, which I would end up tossing later. I finally decided to have SOME. My own bouquet...

Cake topper!
Shannon Giraffes. in Do It Yourself, on December 29, 2013 at 10:42 PM

Show me your cake toppers!!! (that sounded way more dirty than I intended) I'd also like to know where you got them from. I'm having a hard time finding cute funny ones that don't look overly cheap! ...

Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on December 29, 2013 at 9:56 PM

So we went and got my wedding ring. I didn't have the foresight when picking out my e-ring to get a SET. In fact, I got a marquise cut, which is apparently quite difficult to match anything with. So...

Might become a bridezilla in my final month here...
Shannon Giraffes. in Do It Yourself, on December 24, 2013 at 5:45 PM

Just over a month to go. and I realize that people are pre-occupied with Christmas and that's great. But there's still so much to do and these people aren't helping at all! My FIL's were supposed to...

5 weeks to go
Shannon Giraffes. in Planning, on December 21, 2013 at 1:36 PM

Today marks 5 weeks left before my wedding. I got a lot done this week, as far as ordering things. Things that probably should've been ordered awhile ago but oh well. I think the only things I have...

Suggestions for jewelry?
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on December 18, 2013 at 3:40 PM

Here's a picture of my dress. I unfortunately forgot to get a pic of me in my veil and headpiece (the veil is just past shoulder length, and the headpiece is a jeweled headband, no fancy jeweling on...

Mixing white and ivory?
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on December 15, 2013 at 3:13 PM

My dress is ivory, but I feel like anything else that isn't black or teal, is going to be white instead of ivory. It just has a cleaner look and it's easier to match and find things. We also have...

OMG NO FIRST DANCE?
Shannon Giraffes. in Planning, on December 14, 2013 at 12:58 PM

I'm so sick of hearing this. FH and I DO NOT DANCE. It is not something you want to see. I do not care to have 150 sets of eyes on us for 5 minutes as we awkwardly sway side to side. I can't be the...

Traditions? (or superstitions?)
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on December 11, 2013 at 9:31 PM

Do you guys have any traditions that you're breaking? Do you feel like they're just a silly old superstition? I, for one, will be having my mother walk me down the aisle. I've seen that a lot of...

How many favors?
Shannon Giraffes. in Do It Yourself, on December 5, 2013 at 11:11 AM

We're probably going to be doing hot cocoa favors, in small glass containers (the glass jars are personalized also). We are very unsure exactly how many guests we will be having, but I'm guesstimating...

Post office is stupid :(
Shannon Giraffes. in Style and Décor, on December 5, 2013 at 6:11 PM

The post office is stupid. Though that's not exactly news. I went to mail off a batch of Thank You cards, along with my Christmas cards (and 3 stray invitations that didn't make it in the first...
