Ooooo...shiney!

Yesterday, I spent the whole afternoon with my grandmother. It was awesome! We are so much alike, and I absolutely love it. :)

We were on a mission...to find the material for my wedding day necklace.

She's going to make it for me!

{I feel so blessed.}

We found some ivory pearls,

and we found some gray pearls

My grandmother is going to make a multi-strand pearl necklace by alternating the stands.

One ivory, one gray, one ivory, one gray, one ivory, and one more gray.

I'm really stoked!

Then, we're going to add an embellishment to the necklace...like a brooch/pin.

My grandma has one that she wore in high school that she let me have.

I played around with it a little today, and here's what I came up with.

Your thoughts?

Grandma also gave me a hair comb that I'm going to try to incorporate into my fascinator and a bracelet that matches both the hair comb and the brooch she gave me.

She also gave me some fabulous clip on earrings that I'm thinking about using as shoe clips...maybe. I'm still undecided on that front.

Yesterday, we also got our wedding bands in the mail!!!!!!

I was so stoked to see that package on the dining room table when I got home.

I tore through it like nobody's business.

Please excuse my horrendous phone pictures.

Say Hello to My Little Friend

Head on over to Weddzilla and meet my friend Joyce.

I'm in love...and not just with R!

I have found some new vendor sites that I really love. One that I am particularly falling all over is Ever After! While some things are some what out of my price range, there are most definitely others that are in it!! But, hey, I love to dream that I can afford such things.

For example, I have completely fallen in love with this necklace (below). I so know that I cannot afford it for my wedding, but it's one of my wedding colors and would look stunning with a strapless dress. The designer is Glamorosi and she has lots of other wonderful designs as well that are quite affordable!

There is another designer, Notepourri, on the site that I have also fallen in love with. Their address label designs are super cute! And, coincidentally enough(!!), they too have a design that match my wedding colors. I seriously wish my wedding was sooner rather than later...so many good deals!!

The other site that I also love is Save On Crafts!! R and I were perusing the site last night and saw so many things that would be perfect for our wedding. I love DIY projects but I get bored easily. This is why I love the fact that our wedding is in two years; so I can work on our projects! :) To have the wedding now or later? Silly indecisive me. But...back to what I found!

I found these beautiful green unscented candles - $5.99 for a pack of 6. These would look great in frosted votive candles around a centerpiece on a white table with silver flatware.

I have so many ideas running through my head of what I want. I just wish I had an outlet to put all my energy...like designing my ENTIRE wedding!! :)
