beautiful bridesmaids (part 1)

Generally speaking i think bridesmaid dresses are ugly -
so i am determined to find something that all of my wonderful bridesmaids will like.
I'm realistic enough to know that none of them will ever wear the dress again,
but i want them to at least feel beautiful on that day.
At the moment i am loving different styles (and colors!) of Vineyard dresses.
What do you think??

Wedding Shoes.

I adore ballet flats + when i saw these shoes at J.Crew (on super-sale!) I knew they were perfect for the big day!

Wedding Planning part 1 - Reception Hall

We set a date!
We will be married October 16th, 2010.
At first I wasn't thrilled about waiting that long, but we had our hearts set on having our reception at the Columbus Museum of Art and its under renovation until next September -
The cool part is we will be the first wedding in the new museum!

Coco before Chanel.

I can't even tell you how excited i am to see this movie!

We're getting married.

It's been 10 days since he proposed and it still doesn't seem real -

I get to marry the man of my dreams + my best friend.
I am one very lucky girl.

p.s. Happy Belated 4th of July
