Ideas

I haven't posted in quite awhile and I have lots to catch up on!! But first, I wanted to share this super cool idea board I just created! I love the concept of idea boards, but had no idea how to create them. Then a super nice blogger on WeddingBee posted a mini tutorial on how to create one using PowerPoint. I had a file full of potential bouquet ideas so I put them to work and here is what I created!!

It couldn't have been easier!!

These are just a few of the bouquets I have bookmarked from my various searches.

Really, I was just wanting to play and see if I too could be one of those "cool" bloggers who create these awesome collages!!

The Dress

Have I told you about my dress yet? I can't tell you too much, just in case Seattle Groom decides to peek at this, but I will share a few details along the way!

While I did go to a local dress shop and totally fell in LOVE with a beautiful ivory, lace, beaded gown, my mom convinced me to at least meet with a friend's dress maker friend before I made my final decision. I humored my mom, not having the highest of expectations, but what do you know? I fell in love again, with Chantal, the most amazingly talented couture dress designer! Amazing!!!

I am just beginning this dress journey! We have been to the fabric store and have narrowed down the fabric options (more on that soon!) and next Tuesday I have my first meeting with Chantal where we will begin to design my dress!

I will admit, I am a little nervous about this whole process, but I am doing my best to be open minded and flexible . . . two traits I do not normally possess! :-)
