Ho Ho Ho

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! We were watching the Today Show on Christmas Eve and they were talk about New Years resolutions, don't get me wrong I am ALL for resolutions but...NBC just blew past Christmas right into the New Year. I guess I need to catch up with the times. No pun.

I saw the neatest Boutonniere's the other day. I wish I could have saved the picture to post, but i'll try to explain. It was a single flower (white rose for my guys) with a blue ribbon wrapped around half of the steam and attached was a tiny starfish pin. Similar to the one below but it had a little bit of a softer look. I've been searching high and low and have only come up with this one from Lapel Pin Planet. I'm not going to lie the name kind of sleeves me out for some reason. I loved the idea and if I find pins I like i'm going to see how it looks with a navy (or light blue) ribbon on a rose. (I did however find one pin I loved, only $2,000, what a steal! 10 boutonniere's times $2,000 = $20,000)

That's pretty much it for now!

I'm working this week and today was surprisingly busy. It does make the day go quick but damn it people take some vacation already! Oh did I mention I'm losing 9 days of vacation I didn't use this year! Asshat.

Wedding gift help

Is there a better place to turn when looking for shopping help let alone wedding shopping help?/!

I am looking for a wedding cake server set. I would like it to be fairly simple and be able to engrave it. Any thoughts?

Weekend update coming!

Its karma Earl

I had planned on walking to work this morning but decided against it and well I stepped on the bus and took a seat next to a guy to only realize that he smelled like mothballs. Serves me right for taking public trans on a sunny April morn. Moving right along!

Thanks to my gal CMB I found a great birthday gift for J (Music Guy's sister). Yep it's the lobster makeup bag. Her fiance's family has a place in Maine and it would be a perfect addition when they weekend up there.

Thank you for all your kind comments, I'm very much looking forward to Saturday. One of my fab bridesmaids Sara will be accompanying me. And you can be sure she will pick out the not so Kimba dress have me try it on and convince the sales woman it's the one and we'll be back with a check. Oh and have pictures from every angle just as my blogging ladies would hope for! She's a gem! :)

Say it isn't so...

This Saturday I will be going wedding dress shopping for the first time! Should be fun right?

I also am also going back and forth with Aria on Newbury for an appointment to see their bridesmaid dresses. She has an opening at 6pm tomorrow night but I just don't really want to go without A or Sara so it seems i'll just have to wait!

If only my darn Maid of Honor lived here, isn't that her job! :)

Another find

I think is this a cute style, but I feel it wouldn't "sit" right on everyone. It just has that look about it in my eyes. I also am starting to get annoyed with the color choices of navy. I mean for the love of god, how can you mess up navy.

I like my navy simple, not flashy or bland, but navy is it really that much to ask? I also saw some super cute idea's in this months Martha Stewart Wedding. The wonderful mother of the bride got me a years subscription. Also a year of Modern Bride and some other bridal magazine. I am sure our post man is a HUGE fan of me. At least he doesn't have to lug it monthly, though Vogue and the other 39o4798735 magazines I get to he does! Hey I didn't ask you to up my stamp. And to the Boston area gals who just can't get enough Wedding talk The Improper Bostonian current issue is the Bridal Guide!

It seems now when I talk to people I haven't spoken with in a few weeks ask "Tell me what's new for your wedding plans". (Please note this does not include you A from Fave Couple) I think for a second and say "nothing really" and then I start to think oh crap am I suppose to be doing something and get all jittery. Then I have to take a step back and remind myself it's fine!

Speaking of Fave Couple I would like to congratulate them on becoming Aunt and Uncle to their new nephew!

"Something Blue"

This bride put her soon to be hubby's initials on the bottom of her shoes for something blue!

A few wedding things

I found a few dresses I thought were cute, though the price was not anywhere to be found so it looks like I'm doing a little dreaming!

I really like this dress, but i would like the top of it to be straight across! Also I don't like the "longer" top part of it. Maybe I don't like this dress.

This is cute, I don't like the brown sash and the color of the navy, but do like the dress style. I am going back and forth between the color dress. Navy with a light blue sash, or the other way around. I will have to talk to my girls and see what their thoughts are. Good thing Music Guy gave me so much time!

Tooo cute!!!

HOW super Kimba is this??? Love it!

Oh do I love Fridays!!!

I don't have much blogging time but wanted to stop by to say HI!

Super busy day, I'm going to try to fit some gym time in, hopefully around 2ish. Back for another hour or so of work and then....it's off to the Cape for the weekend. We're having a very fun dinner tonight, I'll report on it Monday.

In the mean time you can check out a contender for the Kimba Music Guy wedding. Hyannisport Club

Wedding Dresses

If i had to pick a color and style right now it would be light blue and navy. It was look super cute with the vv Cape Cod ties shown in the post below!

Ties

I am not sure if i'm going to go with pokla dots or a vv pattern, but i saw this today and thought it was very cute.

I love the light blue and navy. Hum...so many wonderful preppy things!

Dresses

Here are a few very cute dresses that I am a huge fan of, Sara sent me the last two, she's so good!

As you can tell I am going for a blue themed wedding/bridesmaid dress. I do know i like this style, simple with a ivory/white sash. I like the first pictures shade of blue better as the guys will have a dark suit (I couldn't fight that one, I let him choose). A light blue with white polka dot tie, but not the one from VV as i was told it has to many polka dots.. Phhhleease!

The planning has started

I know you can't see it very well but this is what i would like the church to look like. I LOVE the boat rope idea! Very Music Guy and Kimba
