STD idea

no no no, not what you're thinking, silly. Save The Date ideas. hahaha ;)

So along with my creative partner in crime, April!! we have come up with a great save the date idea!

Check it out:

But instead of just having the date, April thought it was better to have a note in there say something along the lines of "Would you please Save the Date" with a check box for "yes" & "no". I know most of you sent your bfs notes in middle school, because Drew & I did all the time. He use to spray it with his cologne ;) haha!

I LOVE IT! What do you think!

not your average bridesmaid :)

Friday Night. Out on the town? Nope. Sitting at home watching tv & movies in my PJS =)

After watching say Yes to the Dress on TLC I found myself looking at wedding & engagement blogs and now I'm sitting in my apartment planning again, like the little happy wedding bee that I am =)

I know that some of you have already seen this, but just in case you forget or wanna share your thoughts/concerns via blog here is your (hopefully) future bridesmaid dress:

of course in the mango/daisy/marigold yellow :)

I am shooting for the end of July or first week of August to start dress browsing. So mark your calendars or pencil me in!

Shops I wanna visit:

1) All the Rage - Virginia Beach

2) Maya Couture- Norfolk

3) Kleinfeld - New York ... haha! maybe

.... more posts to come :) STARTING COMMENTING! dont send me emails! lol just comment so everyone else can see!

time to shop!

Hello again lovelies!

Just wanted to know everyone's availability in July & August (weekends), I know that some of you out-of-towners will probably not be able to be come down, but I would love to start dress shopping.

With the venue pretty much secure, its on to the next big thing!!!

Just re-post your dates! Thanks!

Yeeeeeeeee. i am so excited, if you haven't figured that out! haha

<3

wedding bee! bZzzzzZ!

Just a couple of updates for ya...

Theme:
I was thinking to myself, what patterns and designs do I think of when it comes to Drew and I? ... HA! Nothing really, but then I thought about our life together. Our love affair has dated back to 1997 when we met in 7th grade.... so thats where I can up with the vintage idea.

I originially just wanted to do Modern Chic, but I thought, why not combine the two.

Then WAH-LAH, I thought of Modern Chic with a Vintage Twist. I already have some great ideas in my head for centerpieces, place cards, Save the Dates, etc :)

Venue:
Today, my parents and I looked at the Westin in town center, Virginia Beach. Orginially, we were thinking this is way out of our price range. Considering the amount of guests, venue, accessibility, etc... I think the Westin is home to our future wedding reception! I instanty fell in love with the venue when we were touring.

It takes a lot to impress my mom if you dont already know that about her.. she was ready to write the check for the deposit today! haha.

The only thing left to do is bring my in-laws, just in case they don't like it. I know we were thinking of other venues, but it just felt right at the Westin. I would have loved to do it at the Contemporary Art Center, unfortunately the venue does not provide catering, bar, etc. We will all be too busy to be worrying about that the day of.

I would like to secure the venue by the end of this month. I will not be traveling until September, so I would really love to start looking for dresses this month and/or throughout August. As always, I will keep you updated :)
