Bridal Shower Jitters

My bridal shower is quickly approaching, this weekend, and I'm so excited I can't focus on anything.  Therefore I will blog instead of working.

I know the date, time and location, otherwise the only other details I know is that there will be some beautiful gerber daisies there.


However I suspect there will also be some delicious cupcakes, since I'm obsessed with them!  Hoping for red velvet (fingers crossed)!

It's overwhelming to me that all of these people are coming together to celebrate just for lil ol' me.  I must get used to this attention thing.  There will be more of it to follow at the wedding, I suspect.  

Oh, only other thing I suspect is a mountain of gifts.  My inner child can't help but be giddy.  It's like christmas morning for adults!  I'm a registry stalker too, by the way.  Kind of ashamed to admit, but I know I'm not alone there!

Even more exciting than the cake, presents and flowers will be the presence of all of my loved ones, friends and family, showing up to celebrate my future marriage, love and life.  I am truly blessed.

Have a great weekend all, I know I will!

XOXO

Friday Funny: "Do you like me now??"

This young girl is wise beyond her years, and for your amusement, incredibly funny. Spastic too, which I can appreciate.

My favorite part: "What's 2+2? Gonorrhea."



Happy Friday everyone! XO

M&M's Coming to a Wedding Near You?

I love M&M's just as much as the next gal. Chocolate in every color imaginable, how could you not!





However I've noticed a bit of a trend, M&M wedding cakes! What do you think?

Check out M&M's wedding website.

This is amazing, however they managed to balance those cake layers on the bowls. Nothing short of a work of art!







They are always great as favors or part of the candy buffet, if you choose to have one. You can get the wedding date, names and even your faces printed right on there!




Don't forget the notorious wedding bands photo op! Why not add a pop of color?





I love the color and clarity of this image, perfection!



My man would love some of these for sure! Too bad he's allergic to chocolate.



Whatever the wedding scheme, theme or colors, you can always incorporate some M&Ms in a classy way in my opinion.

M&M love FOREVER!!

Friday Funny: Ziplining

This is hysterical. What a way to make a wedding reception entrance.

A few words of advice to soon-to-be-married folk: save the ziplining for the honeymoon!



I must say, the groom made a nice recovery, just got up and walked away like nothing even happened.

Fresh Faces

I'm nearing the date of my wedding makeup trial and I've been compiling photos of some beautiful celebrity faces.

I do not wear a ton of makeup in my day-to-day life so I just want to look as fresh and glowing as possible on the big day.


My search for bright fresh eyes seemed to keep going back to the looks of Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian. Their makeup artists do it best in my humble opinion. When they're not doing the dark smokey eye look they look so fresh and natural!



Below is a photo of my worst nightmare. Hello "wayyyy too much bronzer, your face doesn't match your neck" look.



Just for fun I'm posting a few celebrity wedding photos. I think Ivanka is one classy broad. I hope to look as fresh and fabulous as she does on my wedding day.

Which celebrity has the best wedding style? I think Rebecca Romijn looked amazing!

The Power of the NINJA!!

I love all things ninja, especially jokes. Have a laugh or a smile and happy Friday!!!



And my favorite, the Ninja Sipper!

Bridal Blah Blah Blah

It’s getting down to the wire so I’ve got wedding on the brain, as per usual.

I’m excited to have my favorite signature drink on hand, labeled “Bride’s Punch” however I might need to drink it out of a sippie cup. If I spill a deep red colored cocktail on my dress it could be disastrous.

But tell me if you could resist this combo: Passion fruit flavored vodka, pomegranate mango juice, with a splash of club soda. Mmmmmmmmm!


I’d like medium coverage with rose petals on either side of the aisle. If I leave anything for guests to toss at me it will surely be rose petals, those don’t hurt as much as rice and I feel bubbles have been done to death.


I envision the aisle chairs similar to this photo except with gerber daisies in our color and thick gold ribbon.



Love the color combo on these seating cards!



I must say, I might have been more excited about the shoes than the dress. I’ll admit it! I’ve always wanted a pair, and this may be the only pair I’ll ever own, but I can wear them with anything! Jimmy Chooooooos!!!!! Check out their bridal collection. The color is perfection, I can (and will) wear them with anything. Trust me when I say they WILL NOT sit in my closet and collect dust.



I’m super excited for our wedding, please join in my excitement and tell me what you think. I’m always up for any and all ideas!!
