The Bride

I noticed that there have been some recent purchases of my "Bride" photo book. Here is a link to the preview of the book where you can see the first 15 pages. The photos were taken at Centennial Olympic Park, Stone Mountain and in the studio. A local Bridal Shop commissioned this and uses a number of these photos in their ads.

This blog post is dedicated to a very special friend who is amused by my desire to walk down the aisle in this wedding gown someday.

The DRESS

After trolling bridal mags, websites, and various facebook pages, I finally came across a dress that took my breath away. I think wedding dresses are very personal; what one girl loves, another will hate. For me, this dress is IT.

I quickly hunted a shop down that carried this designer and, I'm going to try it on this weekend with my mom and sis=) I can't wait.

I hope it looks the same in real life as it does in the pic.

If any of you are familiar with the Shopoholic series, you'll know who that line was originally written about - Ms. Becky Bloomwood, the shopping obsessed Bride-to-Be ...

So many hilarious parts in this book.. I've been reading it non-stop lately because ...

I have FINALLY gotten into the spirit of planning my wedding!

I first blogged this whole marriage biz here, where I described to you all my fairytale engagement story=)

Well, since then, things slowed down ... a lot. For some reason I had NO desire to plan the wedding.

Well, I did, but not really.

I decided on a 15 person destination wedding to the Caribbean, because I thought "I'm not going to be one of those nutso girls who goes ballistic over their wedding; with visions of horse drawn carriages, Vera Wang dresses, and crystal ballrooms."

My plan was to spend $5000, tops.

But then the other day, something snapped !!!

If I am going to make this the best day of my life, I may as well do it right! I want the full bridal party,tent, DRESS and tradition!!!

So I've basically turned into one of those wedding crazed girls with stars in their eyes that I promised myself I would never be.

You only live once right?

Of course I've been snatching up bridal mags like nobodies business...

{Still anti-Twilight .. just like this sketch}

Me and my fiance are meeting with a wedding planner next Thursday and I can't wait to start talking about color schemes, themes, and everything else that will make our day perfect =)

She's planned celebrity weddings and did an AMAZING job of planning my friend Andrea's wedding so I'm super excited!!!
