Oh my HECK..........

See the theme I kind of have going on?! I love them all and I love the soft look and the volume at the top and the side bun/ curls.....HMMMMMM

What do you think?

Super exciting

So my dress seriously rocks the socks right off me!! It's the most beautiful, stunning, exquisite, and perfect for me dress. I got it at Atlas Bridal in Toledo ( http://www.atlasbridalshop.com/) and it is a Robin Jillian dress. Before trying on dresses at Atlas - I would swear to you that my dress was going to be a Maggie Sottero dress and I had my heart set on the $1,500.00+ dress Saige. But I tried on this dress by R.J. and could not forget it! I loved the way it looked in the front, to the side, and even the junk in my trunk. Its so perfect for me. And I am the kind of person who gives credit where credit is due SO I typed a little email of appreciation and got the following response;

"We passed your email on directly to the designer, Robin Jillian herself. She asked us to reply and to say thank you as you made her day. "

So that made my day. She is a phenomenal designer and I would suggest checking into her line if you are looking for a one of a kind beautiful dress. I think about this dress and cry because I feel so amazing in it and since having Marcus, sometimes ( most of the time) I lack the confidence to pull anything off. I give kudos to Robin Jillian and cannot wait to wear my dress.

I have been looking at miscellaneous wedding items and ran across some aweful looking shoes!! Hang on though until the end though. There are some I really like :)




















I don't even know what to say about these?! What is on the toe? Did someone get lazy?
Really ? These were like $300.00 shoes!!











Now ladies and any fellas reading this... Here are my favorites...

















So far favorite navy shoes

Now I like this A LOT but its like 1/3 of what my dress cost and I am not sure I want to spend that money on shoes!! But oohh la la...

AYBE - if I get into the swing of the beading with my belt from the previous post - I may be able to whip something like this up in Navy!!

Wedding Ideas - What do you think?

So now begins the fun part, in my opinion, of the joy of planning a wedding - THE DETAILS.

Hall - Check

Date - Check - April 21, 2012

My Dress - Check ( and wowza- LOVE IT)

Colors: Check - Deep Blue (navy) and Bright Yellow (GO BLUE?!)

Now, I have a ton of ideas running rampid in my head. I see a vintage/classy decor theme with crystals hanging from my centerpieces and possibly a few more details that will wow the guests! So overall I am pretty excited. Here are a few hints at some stuff thats floating around in my head. I do not have the links to the pictures but none of this is my work!! Google searches are my lifeline!

A Sash I may try for my dress. Its gorgeous alreadu but i think it may just add a little more Rachel to it!! It already screams my name but it couldn't hurt!

Here is an idea i LOVE for my centerpieces. Done some research and the crystal strands are pretty reasonable - but of course - would change it up a bit and add "Rachel flair"

Come on now, Look how FANTASTIC these colors look together!!
