Details details...
Okay, a slightly extended "progress" post involving all the other random details after my dress post, I suppose.
Colors I liked for our scheme from Cards and Pockets. I really really really liked the Persian and the Sand in person, but the Persian is being discontinued :-( Also, I really like the pocket invites, but my fiance isn't so sure yet:

Dress babble...
Tried on more dresses today in Saginaw with my mom, my aunt, and Rheanna. Found one ultra-pretty Maggie Sottero dress for an EXTREMELY reasonable price that we all loved, but it wasn't right. The fabric was too heavy, and it was just too much dress. This has pretty much resolved me to having my dress made. The following are all my inspiration ( Read more... ) -
Save the Date?
So VistaPrint is having another amazing sale--large magnets for a very very reasonable price--and I figured what better time to work on designing the Save the Dates?

Randomness
So, I've decided that I don't want a big dress. I knew from the minute I started looking that I didn't want a big dress, but they're so pretty and so much fun to try on, and with my shape and bust they have the best structure for me and look very awesome with my figure.

They ( Read more... ) -

Venue hunting: Day 1
Yesterday we had appointments at two venues: The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts (heart of downtown) and the Stuart Avenue Inn (near downtown, about two blocks from our first apartment together).
First, we went to the KIA. I adore the KIA. Some of you may remember me babbling incessantly about the Chihuly glass exhibit they had there a couple years ( Read more... ) -
More dresses!
Today I went to Memories Bridal & Formal Wear in downtown Kalamazoo to try on more dresses. They were stunning. There was only one I wasn't fond of, and I didn't even bother to take photos of it. The lighting and such may look strange in some of these photos...it's because I adjusted the photos in photoshop to show the dress details better ( Read more... ) -
Dress photos
I decided to make my first attempt at dress shopping last night at David's Bridal. I also ran into one of my newest LJ friends there! *laughs* Talk about small world! Be warned that this is a very photo-intensive post:
