*SUDDENLY 282 days to go!!*
Just last week our wedding date was set for 9/25/10 and then all of a sudden we changed our date to 4/3/10!!
We have a one year old little boy and didnt really take into account that my mom is a teacher and will be back at school by then.. and seeing as how she is keeping him while we honeymoon.. yeahhh we needed to kind of plan around her. haha. So spring break it is!!!
We have officially decided to get married in Vegas, spend a few days there and then roadtrip home across the country!! :D We were planning a wedding here at home in Georgia and then decided that we would rather just not deal with it all.. we'd rather just run off with our families and very closest friends, get hitched, and then PARTY.
And then we'll have a reception a month or two later at home and invite EVERYONE! :D
Lots of [old and new] pics & some questions under the cut!
A refesher!!
This will be my dress:
with this veil:
and this fascinator:
I've decided to go with a peacock blue petticoat & matching shoes... still have no idea WHAT shoes though. I'm open for suggestions! :]
Bridesmaids:
The dress I posted before is still the one we're hoping works out. I had some issues with it because the picture I fell in love with had cute little halter straps and the actual dress comes with totally different straps :[
So my older sister [Matron of Honor] ordered hers this morning just so we could SEE it in person before I decide to go with it for the other girls.. and we are DEFINITELY having the straps altered!
This is what it will look like [hopefully] once the straps are altered:
it's black even though it looks blue.. and they will also have peacock blue petticoats. :]
ALSO.. I will be having similar halter straps added onto my dress!
This is what the straps look like now:

BM's shoes:
soooooooooooo cute. I just keep imagining all my bridesmaids around FH with their heels kicked up so you can see the heart! ♥
My friend Tara is making my BM's hairpieces. She's making peacock feather headbands for them!
This picture doesnt really show it that well, but you get the idea:
She is so cute and I feel like I should link her blog:
Tulip Society
As for hairstyles, I want to have some sort of side bun. Something like this:
Maybe not as loose. Any suggestions as to what hairstyles would look best with that birdcage veil?
Also!!!! My friend Sam lives in Texas and has been a MAC artist for years and she just went freelance and is coming to Vegas and doing all of our makeup!!
YAYYYYY FOR AWESOME FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And some more questions:
We were looking at having our wedding at the Flamingo Hotel in Vegas. Anyone have any opinions on that? Good? Bad? Anything?
We're about to dive headfirst into making invitations. Where did you buy your supplies? I went to Michael's yesterday and I was really underwhelmed with what they had. Maybe I should go to another Michael's... or maybe I just didnt know what to look for!
FH and I decided that we want to have a Link & Zelda cake topper for when we do have our reception. I've look around on Etsy and google.. Anyone have any idea who I could commission for something like that???
*PHEW* That was long! TIA!!!
