Two little love birds.
The wedding is over but the marriage has just begun!

Yes, to the Dress
Would you believe that this beautiful wedding dress of mine has STILL not made it to the dry cleaner.
The dirtier, wrinklier version is currently hanging in my closet. What makes it worse is that it has been there for 20 months!
I’ll get to it…eventually!

On the Cheap: Wedding Gowns at Target
A recent article announced that Target is now selling wedding gowns. The prices are super budget friendly as the wedding gowns range from $99 - $129.99. With bridesmaid dresses around $70, it is an affordable option for your maids and matrons, as well!
I wonder if the gowns will follow the lead of other items at Target that have luxury fashion designers who launch a line at the store. If so, I hope Claire Pettibone is one of the first ones lined up! Even though I’m already married, I would purchase it and wear it to the grocery store if need be.

Make It Your Own: Mrs. Necklace
{Zales} has “Mrs.” necklaces that you can customize to show off your married name. At $129, I would say this is a steal!

It’s been over three (3) months since the jeweler’s carelessness that has forced me to replace my un-repairable cracked diamond. I have seriously forgotten what it even looks like, which means I’m left to sit googly-eyed at my desk looking at this photo on the {Michael M.} website.
The good news is that I’ll have my ring back {someday} so that my little ring finger isn’t sitting here naked and plain. I just hope it is soon(er) rather than later.

There is a big debate in the bridal community on wedding day makeup that includes DIY vs Professional services, as well as Airbrush Makeup vs. Traditional Liquid Makeup. Because I am very much in the camp that you should hire a professional, I will stick to the debate on weather or not to go the airbrush makeup route.
What is it? At it’s basic, the airbrush makeup is special liquid foundation sprayed on your face with a makeup gun.
What does it do? It makes your skin look completely flawless. Also, it is sweat, cry, and smooch proof. With a 16+ hour wear time, it is the perfect choice for those brides who want to look picture-perfect well into the evening hours.
Quick Tip: With airbrush makeup, do not RUB your face. Always BLOT. Even though airbrush makeup is “waterproof,” you run the risk of rubbing a line that will not be fixable. So please, for your sake, just blot.
