Candy Themed Bridal Shower
Images: Martha Stewart Weddings
These images for a candy-themed bridal shower are aimed right at my sweet teeth! I would eat candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if it was acceptable. This must be why my recent trip to the dentist revealed nine (9) cavities - yikes!
I digress! A candy-themed shower is the coolest idea for a bride with a sweet tooth like me! Who knew you could make candy look so good?
Kim Kardashian is Engaged!!
OMG! Kim Kardashian finally found someone to marry her. People.com reports that she told her man, Kris Humphris, that she “wanted something big” and that is exactly what she got! 20+ carats! The absurdity of this is beyond me! I can not even fathom what a 20+ carat diamond engagement ring would look like on someone’s finger.
The Best Favors Ever?
At a beer themed wedding, it is only natural to provide beer drinking glasses! What a great gift for guests! If anyone left these behind after the reception, they should be de-friended…IMMEDIATELY!

Bridesmaid Dress Shopping = the Worst!
Honestly, it was one of the more stressful parts of my wedding planning experience. With 5 bridesmaids, I wanted to make sure everyone was happy with my selection! Even though the look of different styled dresses is cute, it doesn’t work for my personal taste because I like a consistent look. Think: “Matchy - Matchy”!
When picking out the bridesmaids dresses, you have to consider so many different factors - it must be flattering on all the bridesmaids, even though their body types are completely different, it needs to be in a comfortable price range for everyone involved, and it must make them feel confident and beautiful! You don’t want your bridesmaids dissing the “chosen” dress!
After about 5 months of looking, I found the bridesmaid dress. Was it “THE” dress? I don’t know! Probably not, but it was good enough!
I want to save you from the headache that was bridesmaid dress shopping so I will tell you about a site that is going to change your life!
It is called Weddington Way, and it is the simplest way to find the style, color, and price of the dress you are looking for! Check it out! It will be your saving grace!
It is super user friendly! There are 4 easy steps - SHOP, COMPARE, SHARE, TRACK! Have fun & good luck!
Post Nuptial Depression
And Yes, it exists! Google it!
Wedding Planning has taken over my life. Seriously, it is all I can think about, therefore it is all I talk about. The first question anyone ever asks me is, “How’s wedding planning going?”
What happens when it’s over? What will I do with all my time? What will I talk about?
4 Month Mark!
Today marks the 4 month mark! Can I just say, OMG!? In 4 months, I will be a MRS.
I feel happy, excited, anxious, overwhelmed, and nervous all in one!
Is that even possible?
hey! so I'm not getting married soon, but thank you for all of the ideas!
Hey! Thank you so much for your kind note! You are very welcome!
I am absolutely in love with my e-ring! I mean, obsessed! But say a few decades down the line, I want to give my daughter my diamond, what ring would I choose?
I would absolutely choose this one! The Halo Engagement Ring Set in Platinum is absolutely stunning.
Want to know the cool part? The center stone is from the early 1900s. Can you say Vintage, with a capital “V”!
Also, the fact that this beauty is 3.37 carats in total weight makes me swoon!
The price tag? Oh, you didn’t think something this beautiful would be “affordable,” did you? If you did, prepare to be shocked! With a price tag of $19,999 from Weston Jewelry out of Seattle, it is a big chunk of change!
The Reception Dress: Ann Taylor Style
Ok! I’m not going to splurge on a reception dress, but if I were, I would have to pick this little number from Ann Taylor. With a price of $695, it is an affordable wedding dress option, but not a budget-friendly option for a “second” dress. So for now, I will just create inspiration boards with this little white dress in mind. A girl can dream, right?
SAVINGS Alert! If you are interested in any of the dresses for yourself or your bridesmaids, now is the time to buy. Anne Taylor is having a sale through June 4 where you get 20% off any full-price wedding or bridesmaid dress with the promo code ANNBRIDE. Also, if you spend over $150, you get free shipping!
