Activity for Elle

I know this may seem like a little much, but I'm an overly organized individual, so please humor me. I drafted this packet that is rife with informational goodies for all of those involved in our big day. Pretty much everyone on the contact list on...

So excited I wanted to share! These are the things we're going to have on display in the lobby of the wedding reception hall. They have several antique tables on which to display these things, so they might not end up on the same table. I wanted an...

Had my make up trial with my friend today. I'm so pleased with the result! Edit: thank you all for the lovely advice. I love what we came up with and am not looking for any tips at this time i just wanted to share because of how excited I am! ...

Have any of you ever been to a brides against cancer show? They are having one near me next month and it says it's a nationwide gown event where they sell new and gently used designer gowns at a discount to help raise money. I'm just wondering if...

So I have been discussing thing with my photographer about what photos I really want and he keeps telling me I need to take photos with all my guests. Now I do like the idea and my wedding is small (53 guests) but he seems to think I should stand in...

So today I had my engagement photos. I have been unable to loose the weight I had hoped to. Between depression and anxiety, it's been really hard. Today at our photo shoot, we had fun, the photographer was great- but I can't help feeling disappointed...

I just got my wedding dress from the cleaners (I haven't had it preserved yet because we are planning to do a "Trash the Dress" session w our dog next month). And I was thinking of dressing up as a "bride" for Halloween. I'm not going anywhere. I'm...

So most of you know the last few months have been a little rocky. Job changes, money issues, MOB drama, groomsmen and bridesmaid drama.... Well, in the middle of all that stress you think my nails would be down to tiny little numbs like they almost...

I received an email from my hair stylist. She's opening her own salon and is moving from her current salon. The new one will be ready in October! My first thought, "how does this affect me?" It actually doesn't, providing I get in time to have my...

This has been a daunting chore for us! I wanted to have the wedding in my parents church but FH doesn't like the church, because it isn't pretty enough (seriously, I could have killed him multiple times over this. lol) We've been searching for the...

So budget is tight (who's isn't? Lol) and i saw one of my necklaces hanging on my necklace hanger and had an idea. What if I re-purposed it as a headpiece/headband, instead of buying a new one? Well this is the result. My mom and I both agree that I...

I'm just gonna let my freak flag fly and ask, have any of you been to them? I think they look so cool, but I wouldn't know what to do lol If not that's okay, but go ahead and say whatever geeky things you do, it may help us to get to know you better!...

So last week my goal was to cut all the fake flowers I had into individual petals. This week I started punching star shaped confetti by hand to go WITH the petals. Only a few hundred in and my arm already hurts. Hope everyone else's diy's are doing...

End rant. That is all.

After trying to be creative by using some alternative sources for bridesmaids gowns, I finally bit the bullet and figured that DB would be the best place to get my BM gowns which would cause the least stress for both me and my bridesmaids/junior...

*EDIT* Yes, there are grammar, phrasing, and spelling errors, which have mostly already been addressed. These aren't going out until November at the absolute earliest, so thats not the part I'm overly concerned about right this very moment. I posted...
