Brandon's Ring

P.S. I bought Brandon's wedding band yesterday! Hurst Fine Diamonds (Brandon also got my engagement ring there) was having a store wide sale and I wanted Brandon to pick out his own ring. This is the ring he picked out:

We originally thought tungsten would be the best for him, but Brandon liked the look of the black ceramic the best. I think it fits him. I was so excited to finally buy his wedding band. I have to say it looks pretty hot on his hand...

Shoes

I have had a dilemma pressing on my mind since I bought my wedding dress three months ago. Shoes. I am 5'10 and my fiance is 6'0. This would not be a problem except for the fact that I absolutely adore heels. And not just a little two inch heels but stiletto, four or five inch heels. Brandon, my beloved, has sweetly told me if I want to wear heels he is man enough to be slightly shorter. Normally, this is not a problem for me. BUT on my wedding day I want there to be a definite height difference. Unfortunately this means I must wear flats. Plus the fact that I already had to add extra length to my bridal gown,(if I had wanted to wear heels I would have had to add extra EXTRA length to my gown), it has been decided that I will wear flats.

Problem: It seems to me that all bridal flats have a little casual bow on the front, look like old women's shoes, or are just plain... plain.

When my sister got married in July, I remembered that she had the same dilemma so I decided to start shopping early. I am glad I did. I still haven't found anything...

I don't want anything cutesy, I want a sophisticated shoe that will complement my lace gown. Is that too much to ask??

If I ever find any options there will be another post on shoe possibilities. For now, that is my bridal show rant.

Wedding Ideas





I'm getting married! My wedding date is set to June 18th of 2011, so I have a little over a year to plan. Since both of my sisters are getting married this year as well I have been picking up many ideas. I have also been raiding tons of wedding blogs.

I came across this idea via Weddinggawker

I absolutely love this idea! Photobooths are all the rage but this, can be a cheaper, not to mention more creative way of doing photobooths.

Now to find some vintage wallpaper...
