I know, I KNOW. I missed my blog again last week. Thankfully I didn't get too much heat for it, I think everyone in my life knows that tax season is a gonger and some Wednesdays the blog takes a backseat to the sea of files in my office. So if you see some sporadic posting between now and June, you'll know why!
"Yeah.....you're going to have to work this weekend." I feel you Milton.
So I was very much looking forward to this week's blog, because over the weekend, I finished the ruby slippers I was strassing! If you remember this post, I did them as a practice run for what will ultimately be my awesomely awesome bridal shoes. And I am glad I did, because I learned a LOT that I will apply when I tackle this super DIY project.
...but you will have to wait to find out what that was. I was so excited about the shoes that I took them to the dance studio on Tuesday to show them to my little Dorothy and let her try them on. Of course she looked fabulous in them, I mean come on. But then I let her dance in them - and unfortunately one side of one shoe lost a lot of rhinestones. I started strassing using one specific type of glue, but it was thin and didn't stick well and halfway through I thought better of it and switched to E6000. So the side that had the crap glue on it now looks pretty bare. So I have to go back and fix that and unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of the shoes before they got all patchy. So that post will have to wait! The good news is, the other shoe didn't lose a single stone, so I know I've got the right glue product now!
It's my turn next! Yayyyyy!
So until I can fill you in on all the details of that particular DIY success, I thought I'd share a few updates with you and then gush about a couple of featured weddings that I am obsessed with these days.
I'm happy to announce that Eric and I have booked our photographer and videographer. Two more things off the list of 135 things to do, done!
Carrie takes such pretty and dreamy photos...
We have also decided that we are going to have our social centered around St. Patrick's Day next year! So if you are reading this, consider yourself booked for March 15, 2014 for an evening of fun and frolicking amidst prizes wrapped in cellophane, plain chips on paper plates, plentiful booze, and cheese cubes. And Eric and I will have tons of inspiration for our social, because........wait for it.......
SQUEE.
We are heading to the beautiful Emerald Isle this year! Hooray!
I am so unbelievably excited for this trip to Ireland, because I have always wanted to go there. It made the short list for our honeymoon, but after we picked South Africa it was put back on the "someday" shelf. Well someday is now September 5, 2013! Hopefully while we're there we'll get to see the ruins of McAuliffe Castle and have a pint of Guinness with some locals. I'm especially pumped to visit the Cliffs of Moher and find me a horcrux.
Reeeeeeeteeteeteetee!
Anyway, back to the wedding blog.
I just love glamorous, sparkly, elegant weddings. I know I harp on it a lot, but I am so not the vintage lace/mason jar type of bride. So when I see a wedding that gets away from that trend and goes big and beautiful, I gobble it up. I wanted to share with you a couple of weddings that I found on Weddings In Winnipeg that I absolutely adore. (Click on the photos for a closer look!)
The first is one that I bookmarked a long time ago. My absolute favorite part is the way that the stationery and design is incorporated into every aspect - their seating chart, menu cards, table cameras, favor cards, table numbers, everything! And what a beautiful bride! I envision myself with a goofy smile on my face all day so I really loved the photos of her looking so happy.
So pretty! See the full post here.
Beautiful right? See the rest of the photos here.
And so ends today's hodgepodge of wedding blogmania! See you next week, fingers crossed!
Happy Wedding Wednesday!!!
