Yay for Productivity!

I’m not sure if I’m more excited about booking our photographer this week or finding my dress!! Probably the dress, because it was a steal at nearly 90% off, only $200 because of the National Bridal Week sale! And, it’s not “too poofy”- FH’s one request lol.

I’m not sure if I’m more excited about booking our photographer this week or finding my dress!! Probably the dress, because it was a steal at nearly 90% off, only $200 because of the National Bridal Week sale! And, it’s not “too poofy”- FH’s one request lol. Funny enough, it was the first dress I put on at this appointment and the first thing I said to the consultant was “I can see myself walking down the aisle in this dress!” I proceeded to try on 8 more, but I didn’t need to. Now to not show FH or tell him about it for 415 days 😬!!
Hope everyone else is having a productive week! What’s your biggest accomplishment so far?

    We're going to do a sparkler send off! Instead of walking through the sparklers to the motorcycle, we're going to drive the motorcycle through the sparkler exit! That sounds awesome, but I understand your concerns! I'm sure it'll be great either way. Smiley smile

    Those pictures are going to be awesome and I love that you’re putting your own twist on the sparkler send off riding through instead of walking!

    Thank you!!! When I looked at the $1679 price on the tag I couldn’t believe we pulled it out of the $199 rack! It’s also nearly a perfect fit, just needs taken in around the waist a little and hemmed, so hopefully alterations won’t be too expensive. The shop gave me cards for two local seamstresses, but that’ll be next year’s concern!

    ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! & what a steal! I wish I waited for the big bridal sale lol. I also ended up saying YES to the first dress! And then proceeded to try on like 3 more and then went to another boutique. Nothing compared and I returned to say yes the following week.

    I think our biggest recent accomplishment was finally finding a bakery!! Neither one of us are big cake people so in lieu of a cake or cupcakes we have opted for brownies! Brownie happens to be one of the nicknames my FH calls me + I make him homemade brownies for every special occasion (v-day, birthday, etc.) but finding a bakery to make brownies was strangely difficult! BUT I stumbled upon the holy grail of bakeries and now we have that checked off the list! I'm stupid excited because the chef where we are getting are brownies from won a Food Network Baking Challenge and I'm OBSESSED with those shows haha.

    Congrats on finding your dress! It’s gorgeous! I got a steal this week too, with a $2000 gown for $300 at a NBSE sample sale at a local boutique. They’re continuing their the sale until Sunday, so I picked up a headpiece today to match the gown. And like you, I’m struggling not to show my FH! I don’t know how I’ll last another 350 days, haha.

    Awesome price!!!!! Stunning gown. Makes you glow! ❤️Good for your FH! My FH walks away if I even start talking about the gown or ideas for the gown. I found the gown but my dad wants to go shopping with me. He is in PA and can not travel now. Due to dyalis and heart complications. Good luck to you and yours.

    Thank you! I was weary to buy a dress over a year in advance but by the time this sale comes around next year it will be cutting it way too close for comfort!
    I’m a bit of a chocoholic and I love brownies, I think that sounds awesome instead of cake! My FH loves cookies, so we are thinking about getting a few dozen from one of his favorite bakeries. I’m totally obsessed with baking competitions too and they give me great ideas of things to try! Sounds like you’ll have a new favorite bakery for future needs too 😉!

    Thank you, congrats to you too!! My FH (who is a self-proclaimed atheist and says he believes in nothing, is never superstitious and laughs at me about my superstitions) told me “of course I’m excited to see it, but it’s bad luck to see it before the day.” I’m still just so excited about it, I need to start some of my DIYs that I can show him!!

    Thank you! I hope things work out so you can go with your dad, that’s really sweet that he wants to be a part of that experience. This isn’t the same, but my best friend/MOH is moving from CO to Boston a few months before the wedding and suggested we FaceTime or Skype during my final dress fitting, it could be an option. Best wishes, sending prayers your way!

    I think my FH has seen me in a skirt twice and a dress once in 6.5 years now, lol! I’m definitely more of a jeans girl.

    You’re getting so close!! I feel like time has been flying by this summer for me, but I know when I get down to the final weeks I’ll feel the same way- isn’t it the day yet!?!? I hope you and your FH have a fantastic day!

    Thank you! I love pizza! I really wanted to hire an amazing local food truck that serves wood fired pizzas, but when I contacted them (17 months in advance of our date) they were already book ☹️! Now we’re think pizza rehearsal dinner!
