Dress Shopping

On Saturday I got together with all of my bridesmaids at the dress shop. Everyone finally agreed on the same dress. Of course they are all going to be different colors. Sunshine yellow, lime green, turquoise, and fuschia! Very colorful!

It only took about 20 min for everyone to pick a dress. Of course I had picked out 4 for them to choose from.
Afterwards we went out to eat and have drinks. They put us in our own little room. They must have thought we were a rowdy crowd!

Centerpieces

My mom, Jen, Ollie, and I all went to Garden Ridge, Deals, and Olde Tyme Pottery. Well, most of the wedding plans are finished already. The centerpieces, however, are still in progress! We have some great ideas for centerpieces, but we are waiting for the sales!!! Now, all that is left to do is the invitations, flowers and pick some engagement photos! How fun!!

Invitations!

Well today, Mom, Jen, and I went out in search of invitation paper. We went to the Polka dot Paper Co, Hobby Lobby, Office Depot and Target.
I have very specific idea of what I want the invitations to look like and of course I want them to be colorful.

After looking at the invitation kits I realized that I am going to have to custom make my own invitations! Wait until you see them - I have a colorful idea in mind!

Dresses!

Saturday, June 14, 2008 - Today Mom, Jen, Paula (Kevin's Mom) and I went to try on wedding dresses and look for the bridesmaid dresses. Our first stop was Elite Bride's House in St. Peters. First thing we were told was we could not take pictures in the store because we could not steal dress ideas. Jen had mentioned that Mom was making my dress. We really were not impressed with their service but I did try on some dresses and think I have decided on a straight across tube top for my dress!
Our second stop was Wedding Gallery in St. Charles. The ladies in there were a lot nicer and helped us to pick out the bridesmaids dresses. I still have to decide which color will go on which girl but I have selected a style of dress and picked out the colors - lime, fuschia, yellow, and turquoise! It is going to be very colorful - just wait and see! Sorry we do not have better pics but as I said earlier we could not take pics in the stores. Oh well!

Bridal Show

Today we went to the bridal show at the Heart of St. Charles. Savvi Formal Wear asked me to get in the money box and I asked if Ollie could come too. So, we got in and the money started to fly! Ollie thought it was pretty funny!
And, I caught a lot of money! $106.00!! They put that as a credit towards our tuxedo order. Free money, yippee!!




There was also a chocolate fountain, of course we had to taste some things! Since I don't want to get chocolate on my wedding dress I'll have to get it for my bridal shower instead!
