Love it but not…

December 12, 2011

During my search for a gown, only three dresses left a lasting impression. Fortunately, I wasn’t put in the position to pick between the three, which was great.

Months ago I wrote about gown #1, my first gown I fell in love with but wasn’t willing to risk purchasing (here). Well, dress #2 was going to be the ONE. I was days away from making a final decision; I only had to justify paying the additional $300.00 for the belt that I think looked great with the dress. But, (I know, there’s a but) well lets see the dress first.

Meet the La Sposa Fanal

(Sorry, the pics are a bit blurry!)

Loved it in the color that I tried in on..Oyster, but disliked it in Ivory!! The dress in ivory didn’t have the same effect or glow. So the IT dress was placed on the chopping blocks once I saw it in ivory. So there you have it, the ending of dress #2.

And if you’re wondering why I just didn’t get it in oyster, well it didn’t work well with the wedding colors I wanted to use.

Thanks & will do!

It’s been a while, I know!! But I’m excited because I have my wedding pictures which means I can start my re-caps soon 🙂

Since I have been out of the loop for about 4 months due to school, work, adjusting to married life and more, I thought posting would be meaningless; too much time had went by. But thanks to a few emails received about updates I have decided to get back on track.

Thank you to those that had a continued interest and still wanted to catch up. Because of you my fire has been sparked! I have a better handle on things now and will be able to fill you in on what went on with the planning phase (all the diy projects) up to the wedding, awesome vendors I’ve met, and of course the wedding day recaps! Thereafter, the saga continues with life and everything else that comes with it (other diy projects, recipes, adventures and more). No matter what happenings and surprises life has for me, I will be Ready As I Can Be.

Stamp-ede 2!

October 18, 2011

If you re-call from my previous post, Stamp-ede , I was working on a cover. Well this post gives the remaining detail. Well, the cover was for our “Passport Programs”! I went back and forth between program fans or nothing and in the end the passport won, thanks to Aylee bits “Passport Invitations”.

I consider my passport ONE of my prized possessions, with every stamp and marking means a new journey. So it made sense to include it in the wedding, not only as part of the theme but the beginning of our new journey.

Aside from trying to get the stamp to show on the covers, the remaining process fell into place.

Hard at work trying to get it done. I was fortunate to have awesome individuals willing to help out as I tried to achieve what I wanted.
