My FIRST dress blog-FINALLY!

So, I have been getting the dress question ALOT! You know the one..."when are you going/have you been dress shopping?" Well, I have been looking online and here are some that caught my eye by Allure Bridals.

I love a cute purse!

Ebay has some great stuff on it. You can find some great deals on there! Hence, these cute lil' cluth purses from seller Closet Affair. I'll be carrying a clutch purse on our wedding day. No need to sport anything bigger. I'll have just face powder and MAC lip glass and a few other items in it. Here are some that I am keeping my eye on:

Which one or two do you like best?

Boutonnieres with style!

Since we are doing everything else in a fabulous way, it is only right to have Boutonnieres that follow suit. Clyde will be wearing a nontraditional Boutonniere, as will our fathers. We want them to be FASHION FORWARD and cute! There are so many flower types, ribbons and decor tools that can be used to creative fabulous 'bouts. No since in being traditional with everything when you don't have to be :-) Here are some that have caught our eye:

Can you say MANOLO BLAHNIK?

For those of you who REALLY know me, you also know my love for a HAWT (hot, fierce, FAB) shoe. I love shoes! I don't care if they are Strappy, Mary Janes, Peep Toes, Platforms, Stilettos, Sandals, Pumps or Boots! If they are FIRE, I will rock them. Some people spend their money on jewels, clothes, furniture or whatever else may float their boat. However, for me, it's SHOES! High heels to be exact. Yes, I love clothes and new ones at that, but a well made shoe, is so worth the money!

I just can't wear a pair of WHITE "bridal-ly" shoes on our wedding day! So, the quest to find the PERFECT shoe begins. Manolo Blahnik is an icon and legendary shoe designer. Here are two that I have fallen in love with. The teal and chocolate print ones are our wedding colors! Don't you agree that they are a must have for my shoe collection!?! By the way, the blue pair were created for Carrie Bradshaw to wear in the Sex and The City Movie. They can be yours for $945.00. Oh yeah, you MUST put your name on the waiting list in store or simply order them online (my preference). Happy Shoe shopping :-)

HAIR with Fabulosity!

Let's talk hair, shall we? With every wedding comes pictures that will capture moments for a lifetime of happy memories. I want to look back on our wedding pictures years from now and know that my hair was FABULOUS! I want something classic and chic that compliments my bridal attire. So many people have asked me when am I going, have I gone, and even can they come with me DRESS SHOPPING! I'll post on that later. Back to hair, here are a few of styles that I like. What do you think?

Our ceremony location has been picked.

We have a ceremony venue!! Woohoo! We have decided to marry in a church. His childhood church as a matter of fact. I had originally had my heart set on marrying outdoors and having a tented reception with the wind blowing in my hair as my veil swayed in the breeze. Can't you see it?! Not to hot, not to cold, drinks flowing, passed hot and cold Hor d'oeuvres. Nice, right? Oh, and it would have been on or very near the water! Oh, well. Since this venue meant so much to my awesome future husband, how could I deny him such a meaningful request. Therefore, request granted! So a church ceremony it is. Now, this is NOT just "some" church. It is a historical landmark. I fell in love with the stained glass windows and the lovely character of the building.

This church was the first brick church building owned by African Americans in Charleston and was purchased in 1882 by members of Emanuel AME Church to alleviate its overcrowded conditions. The 54th & 55th Massachusetts worshipped here while stationed in Charleston. With its six different choirs, it is the only church in Charleston that offers the widest variety of service music, ranging from classical to original unarranged Negro spirituals that date before the 1900s.
