iphone photo daily.

we're down to 4 days. FOUR Days till we get married. In those 4 days....I work too many hours. Blah.

13 hrs. TODAY

12 hrs. TOMORROW

8 hrs. TUESDAY

worth it...sure is:)

UP picked-up the dress yesterday!!!! I love it. It's totally me and fits really well.

I'm a bit worried about the boob situation. Have to go bra-less and there are cups sewn in and the ladies aren't really lovin' that situation. SO, hopefully, that doesn't come across in photos:)

but until then...the house looks like the photo below. A hot freaking mess. Ick.

furniture and wedding shit EVERY.WHERE! But that'll all get sorted out today while I'm at work. Right Jacob;)?!

because i'm in need of something lovely.

nothing but pretty things happening here. Just when you think you have the most beautiful wedding in the entire universe...you see something like this and are brought back to reality. Hands down...lovely on all levels:)

gorgeous hair and dress. Makes me excited to sit in a chair and let someone make me over:)

is it silly that I'd like some tat shots?!

i don't believe I've ever seen a more perfect table setting.

after tomorrow I'll have a bit more of my own wedding detail to share with you. My lovely coworkers are throwing me a little Wedding Shower. It's times like this that I'm reminded of how great I have it where I work. Thoughtful, wonderful people:)

and yet again...

Etsy - Sartorialistas $95

okay...I would NOT be showing you this if I were purchasing it...SO you know I'm not going to. But I was tempted. Seriously TEMPTED!!!

it's gorgeous and even though I came to my senses and am going to stick with the dress I already have for our Reception...this one had me thinking for justtttt a minute...or 24 hours...

i seriously still want to buy it but there's nothing I could do with it. You can't wear this to a Family Reunion or a Baby Shower and there's that pesky 'no wearing white to a wedding that's not YOURS' rule....I seriously even considered buying it for my imaginary daughter...someday she'll need a supa' cool prom dress (my imaginary daughter isn't going to be run of the mill...she's going to like vintage and cheap and everything I like;) OR for her very own wedding reception in...2040. Yep. It'll still be classy then:)

sprinkle it onnnnnn.

a prettyyyyy wedddinggggg.

no. I haven't forgotten that I'm getting married in LESS than 4 months. HOLY SHIT! Jacob and I just got back from a walk and were talking about how his next weekend off (in JULY..arg) will most likely be when he plans his BParty. Holy CRAP!

PS. It's going to be pretty low key: cookout, paint balling and more cooking out and moderate drinking for my boy cause he's not no drinker. This I love...cause me loves me a drink and so yeah. Room for one drinker. That is I;)

POINT: Boy BParty means a wedding is nearing. WHATTT?!?!?!! Still feels like this day is not happening and how has the time passed so quickly!?!?!

UP me loves me some confettiiiiiiiiii!!!

UP what's that raised floor for?! JUST for the band...is that a raised dance floor?! Brainstorming what we should have at our reception. I would LOVE for the weather to cooperate and allow us to have our dance floor outside but I don't want peeps tippin' right off the edge while bustin' a move...hmmm

UP/DOWN dress love.

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;)

preview.

just to keep you on your toes....a little reception dress preview!

I found this beauty at Cache at MOA. Obviously, I want to leave something to the imagination, so I messed around with this a bit....but I think you can get just a little idea of what I'll be looking like on the night of my reception...

although this may actually be what you see if you spend too much time at the wine table;)

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!

etsy wedding dress optionssssss.

i think the closer I get to my wedding, the less I notice things I reallllly love about other weddings. Until at least after the honeymoon, I'm going to do my best to keep this semi-wedding blog...semi-wedding related:)

here are some great reception options from Etsy! They always have amazing, unique, vintage dresses. Right up my alley!

Salvage Life $188

Sparkle Me Vintage $58

BHLDN welcomes me:)

BHLDN. Pretty much all you need to know if you're a soon-to-be bride and in search of what to wear on your day.

here are my wants. HUGE wants:)

UP $100

i love gloves....so cute!:)

UP $450 and $260

RIGHT my favorite...definite Saturday night reception potential

UP $4000

there would be no way for me to decide between these 2. I love them both an equally insane amount.

DOWN $2400

UP $1000

and of course my absolute favorite. I would fit in perfectly with all my cupcakes:)

UP $200 and $400

who says a bride can't wear black!?

for me.

this dress - slightly more cream/off white - and everything that comes with it...would be my ideal look for our Saturday night Reception.

I'm keeping this in mind on my next big mall shopping trip.

Olivia Palermo's Style

a few likes.

it's SO obvious I'm meant to be married, over and over, many many times...just to Jacob, of course;)

but I love SOOOO much. SO very much!

i'd love for my hair to look like this on our big day and that delicate necklace is beautiful. My mom and dad got me something similar for Christmas, I have a feeling it'll come in handy!

pretty nails with a pretty bracelet. Me likes.

and people wonder why it is that I've gotten 3 wedding dresses...so far. I LOVE this dress and I love about every sort of dress out there!

adorably perfect bridal party. I love this.

goodness.

ohhh balls. This is a freaking fantastic wedding. Start TO Finish. Prettiness.

i came across this wedding while stalking 100 Layer Cake and it's now opened my eyes to the bride's smart/beautiful/foodie blog, Sprouted Kitchen.

pretties.

prettier.

um. prettyyyyyy.

just shoes...but pretty - mostly cause I love the fabric/pattern of her dress:)

prettiest.

the bride's sister, Stone Cold Fox, made these dresses and I absolutely ADORE them. I want them for my girls because my girls need to look identical to this!

etsy wedding dress.

Etsy - Retro Vintage Weddings $499

i'm loving this dress. It's a bit high, as far as money I can spend, but if my 'made' dress turns out to be only $200 (like I was quoted), I could still get this for Saturday night and not feel too bad about that. Yep. I actually reallllly like this dress!!!

when it all comes together.

as soon as I spotted Mila Kunis in this dress I knew I had made a great decision on my own wedding dress. Well, knew againnnn, that I'd made the right decision...because I'm more and more sure every day that I made the right decision in having my dress made. But seeing a dress like this, very similar to what I'll have...makes me so very very anxious:)

that also lead me to some details that may look amazing with my dress and some things that I actually feel similar to what I had already envisioned for myself:)

Steep Street

the details I love:

1/ the earrings....simple, round and touch of gold. ME loves a touch of gold in most things:)

2/ ruby nails...to go with my new ruby band:) I feel VERY J.Simpson...

3/ being serenaded. I've never really heard Jacob sing but for some reason I feel like he'd be good at it if he did. And damn handsome:')

love for all pretty dresses.

the Knotty Bride via Free People - Ruffles Fan Dress $298

the Knotty Bride via Watters

how is it that I finally make a semi-confident decision on my dress and NOW these dresses fall into my life. I mean...REALLY!!?

Maybe a girl can just love all dresses and no one decision will feel like THE dress because there are those dresses that are unattainable and then there are those other dresses that don't seem to suit the look you're going for and the other dresses that are black...and you can love them all but eventually you just have to pick one and not look back.

i am still having my dress made. My mind is made up. BUT I mayyyy still have to stop feeding the dogs for a few months in order to save up the extra cash for that Free People dress. I'm seriously head over heels for THAT dress.

vintage. the real thing.

Mill Crest Vintage has THE most pretty vintage dresses. No lie. Although at the moment, I've made an executive decision to have my dress made for $200...there is no reason I shouldn't still be able to look at all the pretties still available out there.

Out of reach...but still available.

after giving dresses much thought...having it made is going to be best. And what's even more great about it is the price. I'm going to request that it be finished 3 months prior to the wedding. I'd like it to be done that soon so that IF or some crazy reason I hate it (won't happen:), I have time to go out and grab something else! And I'll only be out $200. Phew:)

i'm hoping that by June I'll never have to speak of wedding dresses again. Ever.
