Bridal Makeup Ideas

My favorite look is a toss up between Kate Hudson at the top and Christina at the bottom. I was on a mission to find a close up of Kate from Bride Wars. I love her cat-eye smokey eyes with a nude lip. I'm going to do a trial run tomorrow since my Bridal Portraits are on Sunday! I already have all the colors just gotta get some lashes.

Mason Jars Make Me Happy

We got inspired by the above picture over at Hostess with the Mostess. I just love that blog.

Then we made our own! Each guest will have one to use at the wedding and take home. The adorable daisy cut lids were bought from here.

My Invites

We bought the paper and pockets from cards and pockets. Then Jordan designed the layout with a swirl and lime motif. It was my mom's idea to do the little heart punch-out on the outer envelopes. I love them and I'm so happy they are done! 7 more weeks to go!

I submitted pictures of the invites to cards and pockets for their gallery. They sent me back a nice letter and thanked me for the photos. Maybe Jordan should start an invite website. I think she's got what it takes!

I love this Jewelry

I was just searching around on the net. Not really with any purpose. I'm sort of looking for earrings for my bridesmaids and I. The purple pair above would work but they are sold out. All of these pieces were made by Eclectic Eccentricity Jewellery. Yes, I know I spelled jewelry wrong. That's how they spell it!

All of their stuff is so adorable and unique. I think my friend Mandy would like the "Sew much to do Sewing Necklace". Here's the link!

Happy Browsing!

ps. The prices are great too! For example the C'est La Vie necklace is 14.50.

My Purple Wedding Shoes

(My shoes on the top. Bridesmaid shoe on the bottom)

I have been searching for months for the right shoe! A friend lead me to these at Newport-News.com. Here's my checklist for my shoe...

purple- CHECK
tall- CHECK
wedge-CHECK
dressy- CHECK
not cork- CHECK

Yay! No more staring at every shoe for sale online or in a store. I'm so happy! We ordered the bridesmaids shoes last week from Payless. They should be here any day. I guess I need to blog about my wedding check off list. That's next!

I love pictures of colorful wedding shoes!

My Flower Girl Dress

My Flower Girls- Violet and Brianna

This is it! Violet tried it on last Friday at Dillards. It is so adorable and poofy! It's by Cinderella and it comes with an American Girl Doll dress.

It's hard to see what it looks like with that doll dress right on top. Violet cried when it was time to take it off. We took that as a sign! It has small embroidered purple flowers "growing" all over it. Perfect for my garden wedding! I can't wait to show it to my niece Brianna. She is so excited to be in the wedding.

Inspiration Canvas

This board is a compilation of some of the wedding images I have saved. I made it at bridalcanvas.com. Super cool site! Don't judge me on my editing skills! This was the first board I have created.

The wedding dress is one of my favorites that I have tried on. I'm more curvy than the model in the pic so I think it's very flattering on me. Jordan tried on that bridesmaid dress and it looked great! Were still going over all our options before making a purchase.

I really love the mason jar candles for an outside wedding. They did that in Mamma Mia. The floral arrangement looks pretty easy to make. I loved the bright limes with the purple. So, as of right now that is my fave color combination.

Matt and I love red velvet cake. Were thinking of having a cupcake tower like the one in the pic. With a small cake on the top. I'm hoping to have fried chicken on the menu! Yummy!
