Bridal Show = Thumbs Down...Christa's Dress = Thumbs Up!

My mom, Maid of Honor, Christa, and I decided to go to the Rocky Mountain Bridal Show this weekend. Can I just say I found it to be a complete waste of time and money. I guess I can say Ive been to one now.

But on the upside, Christa wanted to go look at bridesmaid dresses after the show, and we found her dress. I was so excited that they had samples that fit her in my actual colors, yippee! She'll order it sometime next year. (For some reason I couldnt take a straight picture yesterday, what is wrong with me?)

Pomander Test Flowers

I am really liking the idea of tissue paper pomanders on shepherd's hooks for the aisle. I was curious how hard they are to make, so I did a couple test flowers tonight. Theyre not so bad, but if I decide to make them, I'm SO gonna need my MOH to help! The white ones are my test flowers and the color ones belong to futuremrsdudley55. She has made a great tutorial.

Our First Location Visit

After breakfast this morning, Nick and I were contemplating what to do today, for little to no money. That being said, we decided to go see our first wedding location. Saddeback Golf Club in Firestone, Colorado, is about an hour north of Denver. They have a great gazebo for the cermony, set next to a lake with a fountain. The reception site is a pavilion and is just up the hill from the gazebo. The pavilion is built of stone & wood and is beautiful. Sadly it was raining when we went, so we couldnt see the mountains, but I'm sure we will visit again.

I Just Couldn't Wait

Yes, Im an Aries...I just couldnt wait to order Nick's tie. But here's my somewhat logical bridal reasoning (if there is such a thing?) 1. What if I waited 3 or 4 months and then they didnt carry it anymore, and 2. It's what we're basing the entire wedding off of. We knew our colors were going to be brown and blue but now we have a more specific color blue to compare to. Anyway, we got it today and it's perfect. It looks just like the picture and here is the link if youre interested.

Spending WAY Too Much Time Online...

So, if I have any free time, I'm on the internet searching for ideas, ideas and more ideas. I'm really enjoying the process, but I think if I dont stop looking soon, Im going to end up with more ideas than I can handle. LOL! Anyway, today I got the idea that I wanted Nick to wear a different tie than his groomsmen and the fathers. I started my search, and to my surprise I found the perfect one in about 3 minutes. :) I showed it to Nick and luckily he loved it too. Woo hoo! I can't wait to order it.
