I stumbled upon this picture on Wedding Bee the other day. Since we are doing baby's breath, I think it would look really nice.
Surprisingly enough, this look was done by folding 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper into a triangle. Then, some ribbon was wrapped around the paper, and some baby's breath was placed in it.
Voila.
LOVE IT!
Talk about cheap and easy!!!
What are you doing to spruce up your aisles?

We have a rectangular arch, so I think this would work perfectly for us! Oh my goodness it is gorgeous!!
Sigh.
I may be feeling a little ambitious soon and try to replicate this.

Is it just me or are thank you cards the most annoying things to write?! Don't get me wrong... I am so thankful to everyone for being so kind and generous to us an I definitely want to thank them but there HAS to be a better way...
I purchased some adorable thank you cards from target (obsessed with that place) but I can't seem ti write a thank you without feeling like I'm sounding totally cheesy.
I swear I can only tell someone thank you and how they mean so much to me so many times before it just starts sounding lame. It's all true, but it totally sounds lame. Is it just me? Am I just loosing my mind from too many thank yous? Or have you guys felt this way too?!
How have you combatted the cheesy thank you?!

The shower was a raging success. People were way too generous. We got over half the items on our registry!!!
My bridesmaids were so awesome!! They planned two games. One was for the guests and one was for myself. The one for the guests was a questionaire about myMr and me. There were several questions about when we started dating and how many kids we want to have, etc. My FSIL won it!! The prize was a starbucks gift card.
The other game was pretty cool. All of the guests got a piece of paper with a question on it. MyMr came up with questions about himself. Before I opened the gift from the guest they asked me their question. If I got it correct, their question got put in a basket for me to draw out of to pick a winner. It was so much fun!! Some of the questions were hard and some were easy. I think I only missed two of them!
I haven't uploaded pictures yet, but I will be sharing them with you soon!! :)

FINALLY... after having my dress for almost a year... I GOT MY VEIL!!!
I debated for SOOO long with what type of veil to get. Fingertip, birdcage, chapel, cathedral?! Sooo much to choose from.
Since I posted about my dress forever ago, I will remind my new readers now.
myMr... YOU BETTER NOT READ PAST THIS OR YOU WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE MISTER!!!!
Ok... So here it is. This is the front of it. Mine is all white with a white sash though.
And here is the back:
Ahhh it is love. I forget about it all the time, and then when I stumble across these pictures, it is love all over again.
Anyways, back to the veil. Can you guess which style I ended up with my dress?!
If you guess birdcage veil then you are... WRONG. ;)
I ended up with a chapel length veil. It is a little longer than your standard chapel length, but not long enough to be a cathedral. It actually is almost exactly the length of my train!!!!
Since my dress is so detailed, I made sure to keep my veil simple. There is a VERY slim pencil edge on it, but other than that it is plain.
The best part of all is my tiara! :) I wasn't going to get a tiara but then I saw this one and HAD to have it!
I will do a post on it once it comes in (should have come in today!!!). I must keep you in suspense until then! ;)
All I have to say is that David's Bridal better be ecstatic with how much money we spent at their store!!!
What style veil did you choose?

Well, I nearly burned off my fingerprints in the process of creating these, but I am extremely satisfied with how they turned out.
I think they are simple, yet elegant.
I am still debating whether to add some swarovski crystals (gotta love HOTFIX) to them. For now, here they are!!!.jpg)
What do you think? Should I add some crystals to them? Or are they good as is?
Just in case you were wondering, I purchased the actual baskets at Michael's for $3.99 (I used a 50% off coupon on each of them). I also got the ribbon for them at Michael's for $1.99 (they were clearanced out for 75% off).
A little hot glue was all it took! :)
Are you going to DIY your flower girl baskets?

We got our first RSVP back!!!
Dang... they were on top of it!!!
The tally is 2 yes 0 no!!
On a different note... how nice does this tux look?!
[Source: Men's Wearhouse]
I don't know why, but I love the fact that it looks more like a suit than a tux!
We picked out our tuxes the other weekend. A few days later we found out that they will cost $161 to rent... TO RENT?! Is it just me or is that crazy expensive?!
Maybe tuxes have just gone up? Dang... they are more expensive than our bridesmaid dresses and my girls get to keep them!!
Luckily myMr and a groomsmen of choice get their tuxes for FREE!!
How much were your tuxes?

I am so sorry that this week has been so crazy. I am doing some brand new stuff at work so instead of coming home and writing a post for you guys, I have been coming home and doind research until bed time. I have already taken pictures of some goodies for y'all. I promise I will get them up for you very soon!
On another note, I called my hairstylest to make my wedding day hair appointment and much to my disappointing surprise... She is in a wedding the night before and doesn't know if she will be in town in time for the wedding. Hair Fail!!
I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do yet. I never even thought something like this could happen so I did not come up with a backup plan. I will have to come up with something quickly.
On a happier note, my mama received a phone call today from a family friend that ABSOLUTELY lovedd our invitations!! And my FMIL received THREE phone calls from various people saying how much they loved our invitations!! That means it is really happening guys!!! I can't wait to start getting RSVPs in the mail!! My Mindy Weiss RSVP organizer has been lonely and needs some friends!!! :)

Well guys... this is it... the invites are OUT!
Oh please Mister Postman, please get them to their proper owners. MyMr is nervous because my sister did calligraphy on the invites and he doesn't think that Mr. Postman will be able to figure out where to take it.
I guess we will find out when the RSVPs start rolling in!!!
Since I am sure some of you are curious, here are some pictures of them!!! I am seriously in love with how they turned out!
Cost breakdown:
Invitations - $47.98
Stamps - $52.80
Hot glue gun to glue down seals - Free (already owned one)

There are more layoffs at my work today. I think i am okay for now but some really good people have been let go. It is a sad day around the office.
There will be an even more brutal round of layoffs in September so I'm praying like crazy that I will be blessed enough to remain employed.
Today I would like to list some of the things I am thankful for:
myMr
my family
my career
my puppy
my follwers
my faith
my determination
there is So much more that I'm thankful for but that's good for now.
What are you thankful for?

This just might HAVE to be the second shower dress.
[Nordies again]
Yes, please. I love the sweater too. And then, to make the look complete, I think I must add these shoes:
It is hard to tell in the picture, but they are brown! And they are from none other than payless. Yes, I said it... PAYLESS!!!
Could the search for the perfect shower dresses be over!?
It all depends on if my mister will let me have them!! :) haha They are definitely more expensive than I would normally spend, so I don't know if I feel right about buying them both. We shall see.
Should I splurge on my dresses? Or should I buy one and get a cheaper other one? Or should I discard them both and go cheaper?
Take care until next time,
hisMrs
I want this dress for my shower dress SO bad!!!
[Complements of Nordies]
I stumbled upon a WeddingBee post about this dress as a bridesmaid dress. At $138, I bet your bridesmaids would be stoked to have this dress!!!
Look at these pictures!! It is so gorgeous!!!
[Source for the two above]
Oh pretty please, can I have it? With a cherry on top?! I think I am definitely going to have to convince myMr to let me make this mine!!! :) :)
Hopefully one shower dress down, one more to go...
Take care until next time,
