Hustles And Bustles...Oh My!

My dress has arrived to Vera! I was practically singing when I received the phone call last month. My mom is coming into town in February so that she can come along with me to my first fitting. I think one of my bridesmaids will as well so she can learn how to bustle my dress. It won't be too extensive because I barely have a train but it will be good for one of my ladies to go.

How was your first dress fitting?

I never really understood the fuss about pomanders. That is until I stumbled across this beauty on one of my most favoritest blogs...Erin ever After

Seriously...I'm drooling.

Dance Practice

Arrived home in Chicago last night, combing through the thousands of pictures on my mom's computer. I found this one from the day last summer when M and I decided on the Chicago History Museum as our venue. This is taken in the Chicago Room where our reception will be held.

It's hard to imagine that in 5 short months, we will back there dancing again...

A Closet Dream

As I sift through my brown Ikea armoire...I cannot help but think that a closet like this would be much more inspiring.

Thanks to Em over at Burning River Bride for sending along a little Glam award to me!

So I'm passing this fabby award over to 6 ladies who continue to surprise and delight with their equally GLAM blogs.

A Couture Registry: Part 3

M and I had our 3rd (and most successful) registry trip yesterday. From the beginning, I was not especially keen on registering at Crate & Barrel. After working there in high school with my older brother, I had visions of generic everything flashing through my head when I even considered it. Yet I was so horribly disappointed with the options at Pottery Barn (along with the service) for dinnerware, flatware, and kitchen goodies that I caved.

So off to C&B at the Burlington Mall we went. Um...hello lover:



Might I introduce you to our fabulous new bone china dinnerware with a freakin' awesome turquoise / gold accent?? Drool. I practically threw the scanner at the place setting when I saw it on the shelf. Fortunately at this point in the registering process, M has admitted that he really doesn't give a hoot about anything that is acceptable for a registry purchase. So we no longer bicker about what will and will not be scanned...I just scamper ahead of him and scan to my heart's content.

Oh and P.S. I have since deleted all the items from our PB registry except for the gallery frames. So there!

How were your registry experiences?
