oh hush

So would design*sponge have ever actually showcase a wedding I didn't love?

They got me hook line and sinker, but what is more I want these medals for my bridal party. I think I have decided it has to happen. I need something like this, I am throwing all my fears about midevil times (due to the crest) to the wind. I WANT some, dang it, but how? My quick google search really did not pan out, maybe I can post on etsy? I think there is some way you can post what you want and take bids now ... hmmm

All this pin/badge talk actually reminds me of how on capitol hill all the elected officials are suppose to wear these little flag diddies (helps the guards recognize them so they can go around the metal detectors). I mean they have real badges too, but all members also constantly wear their pins. I miss D.C. and yes I have been reminiscing about the hill lately. In my fantasies the streets are paved with gold.

and holy hell look at these damn cake toppers:

I spy with my little eye a squirrel and a owl, how perfect! Although Alex shoul really be the owl, I want to be the squirrel.

Bridesmaid rough draft

Navy dress and red heels. Possibly a white shawl or cover up so the ladies don't freeze.

I think I might need to work on the shoes more, or see if i can find a dress at a lower price point. We shall see ...

ALSO I have gotten excited about the idea of teacup flowers. Here is sort of the idea:

Wouldn't that be cute sitting on top a pile of books? I should be thinking exams but having a deep internal debate over linen colors.

Bridesmaid redux

Again thoughts of health care, cabin and teaparty nonsense dance in my head but this post will be much lighter. I do not want to bore people in real life with what feels like trival selfish thoughts, but I sure am going to bore the internet world.

Here is my new thought for the wedding ... work in progress. The plum and cameo just wasn't feeling like it had enough pop for my taste.

Also I feel like an uber teen for using polyvore.

IF #2

Another trend in bridesmaids fashion is doing all light colors. I was talking to a girlfriend the other day and she said that bridesmaids used to dress similar to the bride to confuse evil spirits that might want to hurt the bride. I like this fable immensely.

Jcrew *
Also maybe to pull in the muted tones to my dress I could add a sash of some sort.

The other idea I am toying with is a tiered look, or ruffles:

Anthro

IF #1

IF I did have bridesmaids, here is an idea:


The top dress is from j-crew(black plum) & the bottom from Bluefly.

One the second one, maybe black tights and black shoes.

The Bridesmaid Question

bridal party or not to party?

So it is a hassle and there are feelings involved, and I want everyone to be a part of it and next thing I know I will have 50 bridesmaid and no one seated in the pews. BUT they could look so cute:

Mainly in love with the gloves. Also it is called Quail Bridal. Bird theme works.

And the bird theme also goes with the hat theme:

urban outfitters
modcloth

No matter ... this can not be decieded until I have a budget and a date.

However, this makes me want to party:
