DIY: Bridesmaids Gift Idea

6 Comments Edit
While on instagram a few days ago, I saw this pic below of my Love Script print.

Linh from A Beautiful Rawr blog created it for her best friend's bachelorette party  - she had each girl kiss the print & sign their name! Cute idea right? Well, I thought....why not do this as a wedding gift for bridesmaids?  It's a cute & easy DIY idea inspired by the lovely Linh.

  • First, purchase the love script print at MADE BY GIRL
  • Purchase (1 ) print for each bridesmaids to hang in her home.
  • Pass each print around to each bridesmaid & let her add her signature lipstick, along with her name underneath it.
  • Each bridesmaid will take one of these home as a gift after the wedding. 
  • There you have it, a cute DIY for any wedding that will leave each girl with a beautiful memory!

My $200 wedding dress....

134 Comments Edit
This may be hard to believe but, choosing my wedding dress was the easiest part of the wedding. You see, before I got engaged, I had been dreaming of getting married. (like most girls, right?) So, I had already seen this particular dress & it was saved onto my hard drive.  Well, it was saved along with 10-13 others I liked.... Anyway, I knew with the whole ECONOMY being in shambles that it probably wasn't a good idea to SPLURGE on my dress, plus that isn't my style.

Finally, I jumped on the internet (a few months before the wedding) & took a deep breath....and clicked the 'buy now' button- (the entire dress buying decision took about 5 minutes).  I know some of you women are thinking, "OH MY GOD, how could she buy her wedding dress online without even trying it on?" The answer was simple..... I had a few months till the wedding, I wasn't going to stress out about it.




Fast forward a couple weeks and my dress arrives.....a pretty off-white, size 4.  I went to try it on.... (BIG TIP: Make sure you have absolutely no makeup or lotions on while you try on your dress) ........and the dress fit! I wanted the waist to be a bit more snug so I went to Nordstroms seamstress department. They did a miracle cutting the dress open and tightening the waist about half an inch. It's a miracle because it's NOT easy working with pleats I hear!



Now, to the good stuff....My Wedding dress is by Calvin Klein & cost me a mere $200. That's right, $200! In fact, my shoes cost more.....but that's another post. Oh, & did I mention I was wearing SPANX underneath my dress?!? I highly recommend those, they definitely do their job! All in all, I'm so happy that I decided on this gown. I got so many compliments and no one would've guessed the price! My mindset has always been,'why go broke trying to look good, if you can look gorgeous for less!'

My bouquet was wrapped in a paper towel, so the water wouldn't drip all over my dress. I didn't realize how silly it looked until after I saw these pics. However, the trick works, no water on my dress!


Ok, so what about my accessories?? My cake? My bouquet? Shoes? etc.


To Be Continued.....

Me = Still Smiling...

168 Comments Edit
I don't normally get too personal on my blog, but I wanted to write a thank you post to my guy. I have to say I'm a lucky girl....even after 11 years together, he still amazes me. He cooks amazing dinners almost everyday (he loves cooking) & on Sundays he makes blackberry pancakes for us. But on this particular Sunday (August 2nd), he did something unexpected.....HE PROPOSED. He placed a beautiful ring on my finger & now, I'm officially engaged!! Some might ask, what took so long??!?? Timing never seemed to be on our side & now it is. I am truly grateful for every smile he has brought to my face. With that I say, thank you fiance, I love you......

An amazing eye

5 Comments Edit
Melanie Mauer sent me some gorgeous images.... and what an eye she has! She's a fantastic photographer who specializes in weddings. She captures her subject in such an artful way and uses both color and black and white. I enjoyed the photos of the brides' high heels the best, they're just simple & beautiful. I also loved how she lists some of her favorite spots in Kentucky, (where she lives) from shopping to sweets. More on her site : Melanie Mauer.
Thanks Melanie!
