Hair Trial with the Amazing Dana Bartone!

So I went down to Cheshire to meet up with the very lovely and talented Dana Bartone for my hair trial. She really is such a doll and I just love how my hair turned out :o) So here are the results from our time together. . .

Shower Attire

So tomorrow I have my New York bridal shower. I hadn't the slightest idea of what to wear and I was talking to the girls at work about it. My co-worker (the amazing Alyson) offered to lend me the dress she ordered for her bridal shower last year. She didn't get to wear it because it was too big and so she brought it into work and it fits perfectly :o) Since it is still a little chilly out here in Connecticut I decided to run over to Kohl's and see if they had anything. While walking around I saw a dress. . .the only one like it and it was in my size! The little bolero with it looks perfect with both dresses so I couldn't be happier! Here are the dresses. . . the one on the left is my New York dress and the one on the right is my Connecticut dress :o)

BM Dress :o)

So I was finally able to snap a picture of one of my BM's in her dress. It is only slightly different than my sisters aka MOH. I just love them!

**BM Dress's are in**

Ok so sorry I haven't posted in forever! Things have been really crazy around here. So the BM dresses came in last week and I LOVE THEM!!!!! I am beyond excited about how great they look. Here is a picture of my little sister and maid of honor Maria, her dress is a little different then the rest of the girls but you can get the idea. . .

I also added a BM, my FI's sister in law Corey. . .she is such a doll and I LOVE her!!! She said yes so we are working on getting her dress! YAY. . .boy is time flying by!

****Something Blue . . . CHECK!****

Well me and my FI stopped by the mall today and I found this ring that I just had to have as my something blue :o) So this is my wedding gift from my FI to me! I know it is supposed to be a surprise but I fell in love with it and we had to buy it on the stop since it was the last one. . . I love it!!!!!!

Bridal Shoes

I know I am such a dork. . .but when I got home from my dress fitting I couldn't help but do another project. So on the bottom of my shoes I added our wedding date

and our initials
Love it!

Me and My Dress

So Saturday I went in for my first fitting! My mom came along and that is why there are so many pictures :o) My veil and shoes came in so I got to see how it looks together with my dress:

Here is a shot of my pretty shoes!

and here it is my dress with my birdcage veil. . . I LOVE IT!






I tested it out to make sure that I can sit. . .surprisingly enough I can.
Here are my garters. . . I don't have my blusher just yet but this is the length I am going for. . .
It was great to see how well everything went together, I was buying things piece by piece and thank God everything works!

Garters. . . updates

Well my garters are in. . . Etsy was great! I order it from GarterLady and they are even more beautiful in person than in the pictures! She even has a small blue detail inside, so that will be my back up if I forget something blue. Here are a few pics that I took when they came. . .

The lace and detail is amazing!Don't mind my HUGE leg. . . I have been hitting the gym :o)
I think the two garters go together perfectly even though they are different.
Close up
In addition to my garter coming I was finally able to get a hold of my dress lady and I have an appointment set up for October 11th to try on my dress again (don't worry I will post plenty of pics). Also my last BM just put in the order for the BM dresses! Yay this was a big source of stress because this dress was so important to me, its not easy finding 1 dress that 6 girls love! But they are due to come in by December 17th. On Monday the 29th I am meeting up with the AMAZING Carla Ten Eyck to start talks about a possible B-session and picking out our STD pics. Last but not least I just got the contract from Jane at Just for You for our flowers. . . things are finally starting to come together :o) ** NWR (not wedding related) Now I am going to get back to my lil Get Smart marathon. . . I am a Nick at Nite kid. . .LOVE IT!

Garters :o)

Yay I just purchased my garter and tossing garter. . . literally 2 seconds ago. I was just looking through some stuff and saw these and knew I had to have them.

This will be my garter. . .

Here is the tossing garter. . .

I am so excited that I have one more thing checked off the list of a million things to get done. These are perfect and I cant wait to do the garter toss. . .it will be such a good time.
