flowers for the boys

flower perfection

This bouquet/boutineer combo is just wonderful. I love the freshness and I think my B would love the absence of frilly girliness pinned to his lapel.

hair style option 2

I really love the romantic twisty style of this pretty wedding 'do.

in one year...

summer-time flowers

I'm all about flowers today on this dreary winter-like day in july. I'm loving the colour of these gorgeous pics, though will probably go with whites/greens and maybe a hint of blue for wedding flowers. Chysanthemums, gladilus and dahlias are oh so pretty.

amazing views

If we were getting married in a church this would be the one:


And if we were getting married in a forest, it would most certainly look like this:

long hair required

I recently had a convo about hairstyles I'm diggin' for my wedding day, so here's my fav to date. I have another style in mind too but that pic is on my Mac at home. I've got one year to go, so hopefully 12" to add to my current shoulder length. Braydan will be a happy happy groom - until I cut it after the wedding!


Unrelated to my wedding: this pretty invite set is for my Piggy who as we all know totally digs "the cock" :)

more bridesmaid dresses

Its hard to top the beautiful green/white dresses from earlier in the week but it seems I'm a bit bridesmaid dress obsessed these days. I guess because the other big stuff is taken care of I have time to peruse sites for dresses for my gals. I'm undecided on the whole "all the same colour/sytle" or just "all the same colour/different styles" or maybe I'll even go for "all the same general colour with different styles". Probably depends what we find.

Here are some I found today and here's the kicker - they're mostly on the cheap, like under $150 or so. I think if I recall they're from Nordstrom. Now I'm sticking to my colour pallet so that's one step closer. Plus these dresses are fun either way, I'd easily buy any one of them for myself.

bridesmaid dresses

I came across these absolutely beautiful images on a photographer's website. I am in love! The bridesmaid dresses are just perfect. Totally the look I was dreaming about - pretty pattern, green and leafy but not overwhelmed with colour, and nice and summery for our july wedding. I adore these dresses. I wonder where they are from...


And check out the wedding cake from the same wedding... in love yet again. So glad someone already planned my dream wedding!



While on the bridesmaid dress topic, I also came across this image on the same photographer's blog. If pattern doesn't work out then simple navy blue dresses are a good possibility, much like these ones. Love the colourful shoes as well. Maybe lime green heels (or flats for my incredibly tall sis-in-law-to-be)... so pretty!

bridesmaid dresses

I haven't decided on a colour for bridesmaid dresses yet (it won't be pink!) but I do have a pretty good idea of a few things I'd like for my bridesmaid's dresses: casual, simple, stylish, and inexpensive.

I'm completely in love with the styles at JCrew and can't wait to see what new styles/colours come out in the fall. They have some beautiful dresses and it might be worth making a cross-border shopping trip to check them out.
