Flowers and Hair Meetings

Mom and I went to the hair salon that will be taking care of all the ladies hair on the wedding day. I went with ideas of what I wanted and didn't want, but I didn't know exactly what would look good on me. I'm pretty happy with what I will be wearing. Hopefully it will be a little better on the day of. :) Mom's style we still have to figure out. We weren't happy with what they came up with. I have some work to do to help her. :) But that is one big thing out of the way.

Then came today's appointment... flowers! I am very happy with the florist we chose. They seem to know the exact look I am going for. Finger's crossed!

Our big day is getting closer and closer. I cannot believe it is just over THREE months away. THREE! I am beyond excited and not the tiniest bit nervous, just insanely excited. :)

I meet with the chef on Sunday so maybe I'll have an update then. When I head home, I will pick up my dress (Yay! It will be the first time I actually SEE it!) and work with the invitations. Things are getting done, but there is still lots to do!

The Makings Of My Dress!

Today I bought my wedding dress (Is that what you'd say? It sounds like it is more important than just "I bought my dress"). You know, I've been looking through countless dresses on magazine pages and I have had several in-store appointments trying dresses on, and though I've seen some that I've liked, or parts of ones I liked, I knew that I hadn't found the one. They say you will know and I never got that feeling. I was questioning what wasn't right. Something was missing and I couldn't figure it out for sure. So, I got my sketch pad out and drew the one. Today I had the amazing opportunity to meet with an actual wedding dress designer. So you know how real she was, she kept talking about her friend Vera and I thought oh that's nice. Well she was talking about Vera. You know, Vera as in Vera Wang. This lady was the sweetest thing ever and we clicked instantly. I showed her my designs of what look I was looking for and then I scoured the racks of dresses she brought with her and the store had in, and I said kinda like this, and kinda like that and about 8 dresses later, I had my perfect sketch, detailed and with physical pieces of dresses to show her exactly what my little marks meant on my sketches. I wish I could tell the entire world right now what it is going to look like, but I have to keep it on the DL. Plus, to be honest, I am not even going to know completely what my dress looks like until it arrives to the store. Being that I designed it from the bottom up, I was not able to see my dress yet. On paper and in my mind yes, but not in flesh in one entire piece. I am not sure how long it will be until I get to see it done, but I am quite excited to see my dress. And for everyone else, it will be soon enough that you will get to see it... 244 days to go to be exact. :) One thought that makes me smile: my dress was created by me, and it will be one of a kind with no other one like it!

An Opportunity Of A Lifetime

Tomorrow morning I am meeting with a wedding dress designer and I am quite excited! This is going to be the closest thing I will get to working with a real fashion designer, and that excites me! I can't wait to sit down and show her my ideas and pick her brain and see what the two of us can come up with. And then of course, see if the outcome is even a possibility…monetarily. I know anything is possible in the fashion industry, unfortunately (there have been many unfortunate designs out there in Hollywood). But the dreams I have dreamed up that are now sketched out on paper may not be possible in the "wallet" industry…… No matter if the dress on paper turns to a dress in fabric or not, it will be an experience I will remember forever I am sure. Now if only I could be meeting with a bridesmaids dress designer, my issues in that area could be nearing completion. I'll update you all tomorrow or Sunday, whenever I am able to get back to blogging!
