Dresses

Hello my Beautiful BMs!

Just a little reminder that your money & dress size is due June 1st! You have a little over 3 weeks to lose the weight you want, come up with the money and send it my way! (the money not the weight) hahaha.

101 days until the bachelorette party in VEGAS!

131 days until Holy Matrimony <3

Hope you are all doing well =)

Love always,

Michelle

RETRACTION

i don't know if its because I'm so excited Drew's coming home or what ... but I just tried to return the bridesmaid dress and found out that I couldn't because it was past the deadline. (I neglected to tell you that I only looked at the dress one time before and I rushed out of my apartment because I had to head to work ...)

Anyhoo, I just reexamined the dress and the reason why it looked so stupid was because it was INSIDE OUT! oh em gee. This bride is crazy!

Check it out!

Platinum Color

Size 2

It looks a little long, but then again I'm short. There is an option to put in your exact measurements so you do not run into this problem OR you could just order a standard size and alter it when you receive it.

PLEASE PLEASE go ahead and order this dress at your earliest convenience! Dress style number is BR142, platinum color.

If you have any questions, please let me know!!!!! Sorry about the confusion and sorry I'm so crazy!

=)

172 days and counting!

hello my beautiful bms!

I hope you are doing well =). I just received the bridesmaid dress in the mail from in-weddingdress.com .... thank GOD, I did not ask any of you to buy this dress yet.

• Shipping took forever
• Packaging was messed up
• the DRESS looked so ugly I almost vomited all over it
• they misspelled my name (even though thats not a biggie -- but still)

HAHA. Good thing we still a few months until I go into panic mode!

I've found some contenders from another website, I am open to suggestions. I know that every bride swears up and down that she wants to get a dress that her bridesmaids can wear again, but i REALLY do.

• Other than that, I've met with the videographer! We will be having them videotape the whole night, beginning to end =) I'm really excited to work with them because the owner is actually an old friend from elementary school!

• I hope you all received our save the date! Invitations will be going out the end of May!

• For all of you going on the bachelorette party, keep an eye out for good prices on airline tickets. I know a couple of us are coming from VA so we might as well go ahead and get on the same flights! I do not know any details, except for the date, so if you have any questions please ask April

Last thing ... DREW'S COMING HOME =) I don't have an exact date yet, but I will know within the next week or so! I am hoping he'll be here no later than mid April. WOO HOOO =) So that means no calls, except for emergency ones when he gets home j/p hahaha, kinda.

Love and miss you all,

Michelle

Hi beloved bride to bee...
Just checking out your blog and realized I hadn't seen some of the things you had posted. Catching up on my other readings now that I deactivated facebook.

Anyway... I have a awkwardly busy 8 weeks ahead of me, butttt i need to/ want to/ have to know if you need anything (physical labor, kisses (??) ) hehe..

I'm here for u, of course, and thanks for the shout out.

<3

updates

HAPPY NEW YEAR my lovely bridesmaids :)

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
