On a side note, Southern Weddings magazine was suppose to hit the stands today well only half the shipment is out today and they said the other half should be coming soon. Well my crazy self went to three different stores this morning where they should be and NOTHING. I was a little discouraged so I will be checking again tomorrow. But I highly recommend you go get a copy for yourself too!

In Love With This Dress

Well I found this wedding on Jasmine Star's blog. She is an absolutely amazing photographer! But this brides wedding dress is amazing. I almost love it as much as my own and if I were having a spring or summer afternoon wedding I would probably buy this. I think it is so classy and elegant its beautiful. The wedding is also amazing the centerpieces are huge and beauitful and I love the grey bridesmaid dresses.





Love this picture of them making their way out of the ceremony. Check the dress out. So Pretty!



Southern Weddings Magazine

I love Southern Weddings Blog and they are coming out with their second issue of their magazine. The first one was amazing I looked through it multiple times. But the thing is they only print so many copies and it sold out pretty quickly last time. I highly recommend anyone planning a wedding or anyone who just loves wedding to pick this magazine up. It comes out on Wednesday! I have been counting down the days and it will be my first stop wednesday morning.

Jeff played Georgia Tech this past weekend and they stayed in the awesome W hotel in Midtown. My mom and I went to visit him and we were outside sitting in this cool modern lounge they had just talking. I looked over and sitting next to us was the owner of Southern Weddings. I was like oh my gosh and told my mom and Jeff and they were like how in the heck do you know thats her. I obviously know my wedding stuff and I also knew they were in town that night in Atlanta for the launch party of their second issue of their magazine what perfect timing for us to be there as well. It was sort of funny!

But here is the cover of their magazine!. Don't forget Wednesday it hits the stands!


Garden Wedding

I love the fabric draping of this cute little garden wedding.

Shabby Chic Wedding

Normally this is not really my style but I really like this wedding. It sort of has a shabby vintage feel to it. I really like the ceremony area and all the different antique chandeliers hanging! check it out






Success!

Well we are home from Atlanta and had a successful trip! We found Mom an awesome dress at Lenox Square. It really is flattering on her and she looks great in it! So we have one more thing marked off the list. We did not have as great of luck with football. They are coming up short on all these games they are loosing by three and they should be winning majority of them so its been so hard! But I have a busy week and lots to do for the wedding as we are in the 60s now for days left. eeekk!


I love this picture. I love her veil!

Off to Atlanta

Well my mom and I are off to Atlanta for the weekend. Jeff is playing Georgia Tech this weekend but we thought it was a great time to go do some more shopping for a Mother of the Bride dress since we are two months out and we still have NOTHING! We all loved the same dress my mom tried on in Boston at Neiman Marcus, it was beautiful, but we didn't want to buy it because we just started looking. Well werent we idiots. We can not find it anywhere the lady warned us at the store that night there were only three in stores in all Neiman Marcus's so what were we thinking. But mom says if she finds it we are buying it on the spot. So hopefully Atlanta can pull through this weekend or something similar at least.

I went to Marble Slab today and talked to the owner and told him everything I want for jeff "grooms cake" really just ice cream marble slab bar. He was a little interesting man so we will see what he comes back with. Before my mom or I even said anything he said 20% off I bring balloons I do whatever you want i take care of it all, he is oriental or speaks some other language because we could barely understand him. So who knows I guess he can't screw things up too much. But it will be delicious at the rehearsal dinner, jeff will be in heaven!

I've been talking back and forth with my florist and I set up a time to go see a mock up of my centerpieces and linens and everything in a few weeks so I am beyond excited for that as flowers are the most important thing to me! heres a little sneak peak of my centerpieces.



So its all coming together. But Hope everyone has a great weekend

Baby Shower

I came across this baby shower and thought it was way cute. I'm always thinking in my head about my sisters one day I will throw for her. Check it out.
