hair did day.

i was trying on outfits tonight for a reception that the boy and I are thinking of going to tomorrow night. THINKING. But outfit prep is always necessary.

since I had a bra on...I figured...why not try some additional outfits on:

1 Wedding Rehearsal night:) (Wednesday)

2 Road trippin' to get MARRIED and gettin' my hair did day:) (Thursday)

3 Road trip home from the wedding and feelin' like shit but want to be cute cause it's my first day married...dayyyyy:) (Friday)

4 Home preparing for wedding reception and gettin' my hair did...again...day:)

POINT: this outfit is VERY similar to the one I tried on for - 4 -. Cute huh?!:)

all for you, wedding day.

besides the gorgeous photos...there's a bit more that drew me in:)

UP a reminder that on my wedding day...I can drink wine or mimosa's (or both;) at any time of day. Wedding Day knows no time and does not judge the bride for drinking while getting her hair did:)

PS. restrictions are NOT lifted on Wedding Day. Especially Wedding Day...mostly cause I'm emotional anyway and my old friend (who stabbed me in the BACK..ahole) alcohol, likes to make me cry. Oh, yes. I said it...I'm a cryer. Not a pretty one. The opposite of that..plus 10 times MORE ugly.

And then add in the fact that I'm marrying my best buddy in this whole world and feel as if I'm getting away with something...because honestly, he knows me...he's SEEN things I do...heard things I say and yet...he says he'll be there?! Me = BLOWN A.WAY!

UP skinny biatch. And I mean that with lots of love:)

UP exactly as cute as Jacob will be. And I want this shot of him.

Courts: if you don't catch him doing this...just make him do it. He'll play along. He'll be confused by it...but he'll do it;)

UP perfectly held bride during their first dance. *sniff*

UP/DOWN fabulous looking bride + fabulous leather jacket?! I am in love:) And yes...the bike. Classic. Me loves.

sorry for lacking on the wedding posts. I know you guys (most being married already;) are just DIEING to hear details about weddings that I love and are having a difficult time going about your daily life without my random posts about OTHER people's weddings....

so here's your fix. Now go on...LIVE AGAIN!!!;)

etsy feets.

i had already decided that I'd wait and try on heels (wedding and reception) when I hit up MOA (Mall of America) in the coming weeks.

butttttt then I saw these 2 and I think they have the potential to be exactly what I want. Both these are in consideration for the Thursday Wedding Ceremony. Perfect heel height...just enough to add more height but not tower over Jacob.

likey!?

Etsy - Between the Buttons Vintage $28

Etsy - Bohemian Bisoux Vintage $22.40

i think I must have both.:)

the veil with all the love.

i began this post in love with her veil and ended it in love with those simple moments between her and him:)

i know that whether or not my photographer captures those...my sister, Courts and my mom will get them. It's all about those subtle moments between me and Jacob and I hope to have one to put on my night stand at the end of all of this:)

regardless. This is the veil I want. I love it. End of story:)

feel the feather.

something amazing about maids in patterns. Especially nicely toned, laid back looking flower patterns.

and hello....my feet feel amazing just looking at this shot!

UP and belts...and those EARRINGS?! Courts actually got a pair of black feather earrings from F21 and they are freaking adorable and so cheap and I believe she'll be sporting them at the reception...although either ceremony and/or reception would work!:)

UP the earrings aren't quite the same as what Courts got and I think hers are actually cuter but you get the idea. Feathers are pretty much everywhere right now!

DOWN and how about this perfect guest!? I imagine the photographer felt the same, which is why she got her very own picture...but I love that dress!

now I'll give you a break from Style Me Pretty...if it's possible to EVER need a break from Style Me Pretty;)

jeans for J.

UP/DOWN Loveliest Day

adorable groom in jeans. Absolutely love.

ALSO. Is it meant to be that he's holding a C - for Casey...or coolio;) and her a J - for Jacob, Jiffy...okay, harder to come up with cool J words;)

wouldn't a groom in jeans be special!? I love Jacob in a great pair of jeans and would have had no problem with him wearing jeans on our wedding day. BUT I want that day to be just a tadddd more fancy than our every day grub.

so we settled on black slacks for the the wedding day and darker jeans for the reception night.

I think it was a good compromise:)

UP/DOWN Project Wedding

lady in white:)

with our MOA trip coming up shortly, I'm getting in festive-white-reception-dress mode! I'll be on the hunt for something fun and affordable to wear to our Saturday night reception!

below are a few online options that I'll keep in mind if I don't find something in-store.

UP TopShop $98

UP/DOWN French Connection $130

eeeeeekkkk. I kinda love this one...it's got that touch of black, which will help me mesh with my ladies in black. I think sheer black tights will still work with this. AS longggg as I pick the right black heels.

Like?!

GOOD - Top Shop dress at the very top has free shipping if over $100. Done. And free returns and full refunds. SO I can try it on and such.

BAD - I like the French Connection one more. BUT it's a final sale. It's on sale from $268! FRICK!

tights of all sorts.

this adorably vintage, care-free wedding is courtesy of Green Wedding Shoes.

and what I like about it:

UP i love their look. The look in the picture and just how they look together. BUT also loving her shoes!!

DOWN how cute are those maid colors together?! I just think it, first and foremost, shoes how anything goes! And those flowers are exactly as I'd like mine to look.

UP and again...more tights. And with yellow and blue...tights work with EVERYTHING!!!

Ladies: shall we throw around the idea of you guys wearing your tights on Thurs. night too?! Too much!!?!?

and my minds maid up. or not.

so ladies...as you know...I'm supa' indecisive and I can NOT come to any conclusion on this freaking wedding party outfit. The wedding party outfit for the Thursday night ceremony.

arrrrrrg! I have put a deadline on it so I HAVE to make a decision. April 1st and we're getting something. Decision WILL be made! Me promises:)

at the moment I'm thinking black pants and a nice slouchy tank for the ladies on my side and then, although Renee is on the boys' side (she's stilllll mine;), she'll be in a simple black dress. That's where I'm at right now....

and holy wow...sorry about all that extra info. BUT this is kinda what I like...and it goes in order of my vision from left to right. Courts, Pigg, Mal and Renee.

Thoughts ladies!?

JCrew - Button Up Sundress, Dark Slate $68

and then again...here's another idea. I think the color looks a bit 'country/blue jean' in this picture but it's actually 'dark slate'. It's from JCrew for a fantastic price...$68. Which is almost unheard of there...unless you're buying a small tank top...then $68 is the norm. Arg.

GOODS:

- amazing for breastfeeding Matron of Honors

- cute and simple

- could get fun with it...put on a little black belt. black cardy. gladiator sandals/little boots!?/wedges whateva.

- and I like it:)

BADS:

- IS it too country/blue jean looking?

- with the boys wearing black slacks and charcoal gray tops...will this be TOO much gray?!

- would Renee wear this too!? Or would that look funny while she's standing on the other side w/ the boys?!

so there you have it. I have no clue.
