I knew from the beginning of wedding planning that I didn’t want my bridesmaids to look like clones of each other with identical dresses, shoes, hair and jewelry. My five girls are totally different in height, body type, ethnicity and personal style (not to mention personality!) and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Being that J.Crew is my favorite store, I’ve known since we got engaged that I would probably choose a color and a fabric from their line and then let the ladies choose the style of dress. I love the idea of different shades of one color (i.e. ranging from powder blue to french blue to navy), but the Mr. hates that idea - he’s more of a color block, clean-aesthetic kind of guy.
Right now I’m thinking a nice springy silk chiffon in “vintage blue” or “hazel blue”, but I’ll have to wait until all of my bridesmaids can get to the J.Crew Wedding Collection store that’s outside the city and try them on!

Where We're At!

So with just over 200 days to go until the wedding, here is what we have booked (not enough)!

  • Ceremony Venue
  • Reception Venue
  • Officiant
  • Wedding Gown
  • Florist
  • Photographer
  • Caterer & Bar
  • Cakes/Cupcakes

Some days I wake up feeling excited to do more, and some days I wake up feeling so stressed I want to start crying any time a stranger in the supermarket sees my ring and says, “So have you set a date yet?!”  But because throwing my bag of carrots at them and yelling “LEAVE ME ALONE” as I sprint away is not an option, I keep planning bit by bit, even on the bad days. Up next:

  • Bridesmaid dresses
  • Hotels
  • Honeymoon
  • Band/DJ/Musicians
  • Transportation
  • Suits for the men

All I can say is Thank God for coffee and wedding blogs!

Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.

I absolutely love birdcage veils, but I’m not sure if they would suit my gorgeous dress (which I can’t post here for obvious reasons).
