I hope that the holidays and the new year have brought you much happiness. It's been a crazy 2010 but with the new year, leaving the past behind and a fresh start is much needed. I have a couple of updates now that is 2011! My wedding year is here!
first things first...
SHOUT-OUT: To my lovely Bridesmaid, Samantha ... congratulations again on your ENGAGEMENT :) Not only will we be celebrating Drew and my wedding this year, but Samantha and her fiancée Cole will be getting married August 6th 2011. I am so happy for the both of you!
UPCOMING EVENT: January 16th 2011 DAVID TUTERA will be here at the Norfolk Scope for a bridal showcase! YAYAYAY! For those of you who are not familiar with him, he is a celebrity wedding/event planner. He is featured on the WE channel every Sunday for his show "My Fair Wedding". Many of you know my aspirations to be a wedding planner so I am so excited to be going to this show. It starts at 11AM and admission is $10. As of right now, Melissa and my Mom will be going to the show. Please let me know if you are free to go, I would love to have you there!
Check out the bridal showcase details here.
THEME: So far, I have been loving yellow and gray but I do want to change some things about the theme. Instead of having modern accents, such as damask I want to change my theme to more of a vintage/rustic look. Quoting April, " you do have an old soul "... I love everything vintage and classic. Below is a sample of what I am thinking ...
DRESSES: My last post included your potential bridesmaid dresses. Before I decide to go ahead and order I am going to buy one and see if I like the material. Since its an online store, I am a bit skeptical (and I have a Type A personality hehe) so I need to see for myself if its legit or not.
Now that it is 2011, I need to kick up the wedding planning up a notch. Like I have said in past posts, I am planning to have my save the dates out by March. Once I think of centerpieces ideas I will be needing all hands on deck for assembling them :)
Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions ... let me know!
Michelle
