four hundred twenty nine

my color so i have been struggling to find a real-world example of the green color that i am aiming for for the wedding. i've seen it on an online picture of a bridesmaids dress but that's been the only time. well as i was walking outside during my lunch today i saw it. THE color, the one i have been trying to explain away. and guess what i found it on?! .... a jeep. simply perfect. so everyone, this is the color that i have been trying, unsuccessfully, to explain/show you. according to jeep this is called optic green metallic, according to my favorite dress swatch its called metallic sage. therefore i have concluded that it is a metallicy green/sage color. hereinafter referred to as sage. hooray

four hundred thirty five

four hundred thirty five is a much less intimidating number than the starting six hundred thirty two, it's almost a whole two hundred days shorter! a friend of mine just got engaged recently and she only has to wait (as of today) one hundred twelve days. in fact i know of six other people who either got engaged just before us or recently and all of their dates are before mine. oooh september 24th 2011 you still seem so far away.

so i continue my search for ideas. if you know me, you know i love trees and have ended up incorporating them into my designs unconsciously. i also love candles so what better way then to put the two of those together?! my thoughts exactly.

four hundred thirty nine

bridesmaid's dresses. an interesting topic, so many people have so many different opinions on these things. "You have to go long for weddings, its so much more balanced with your long dress" "Don't do a typical bridesmaid's dress, they could never wear it again" "Pick something that everyone will look good in" "Let the bridesmaids choose their own dress, or style from a specific dress" ....

well i'm going to do the easy thing and listen to my fiance, because he apparently has some opinions too and i agree wholeheartedly with his suggestions. strapless, non-taffeta material, empire waisted. he actually picked a dress out that he likes the most. to describe it: empire waist, chiffon material, long, sweetheart strapless and very very gorgeous. as of now only shelby has tried on the dress but i am attempting to set up a time and place for all my girls to give it a try and to try on a few others.
