Hairstyle

Now that I have my dress, I've been thinking about the rest of my appearance. I know that I would like to wear my mom's pearl necklace. I'd like to whiten my teeth. I'm trying to get in better shape (omg when did I get flab under my arms?! That's so not okay!). Of course I'll get a manicure, and I might even try to grow my nails out a little so I don't look like a child.

And my hair. I've been trying to grow my hair out for a long time. Right now, my hair is longer than it has been in years, and by years, I mean since I was about 14. I've also been dying it with henna lately, instead of chemical dyes, because I would love if I could have my hair be the perfect shade of red with something natural, because that's just how I roll.

I've been thinking, and right now my ideal wedding hairstyle would consist of some sort of loose side bun with a flower in it.

My preliminary search for matching hairstyles has pulled up nothing that matches my ideas. However, I'm sure I've seen it done somewhere before, so... I'll just have to keep looking.

These are the closest ones that match the picture in my head:

I think I'd prefer a flower to a clip, but this one is very pretty, and I'm about 99% positive I want a real flower as opposed to a silk one with a feather around it, but this one is also pretty, so there you go. Both are from Theknot.com, go figure.

401

401 days until our wedding.

Holy crap.

That is all.

429 Days!

I just checked on TheKnot and it informed me that Zach and I have 429 days until we get married!

Eek!!

I PROMISE that someday soon I'll actually start adding real content to it, but until then, all of my wedding info is on here. :)

Wall-Art

I've written before about how cool it would be to have a kind of 3-D photobooth picture wall, and I've recently (with the help of my wonderful, bored best friend Nicole) found another cool example. I thought that I had first seen this on 100 Layer Cake, but since my own link goes to The Knot, I'm going to have to believe myself.


This new example is from a pretty awesome blog called Bride Pop, and is super perty. What I like about both is the room for creativity and the advice that they have.

I'd love to do something like this, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to or if there will be room. I'm sure we can figure something out though, I'm not too worried.

Timeline Save-the-Dates

Since Zach and I are getting married on a holiday weekend, we're supposed to send out save-the-dates earlier than we otherwise would (dates range from 8-12 months in advance). Since the big date is in 15 months, and I have absolutely no idea what we want to do for our save-the-dates, I figure that it's maybe a good time to start thinking about them.

First, our budget for save-the-dates is quite low, so my goal is to actually make them myself. We also don't want it to be simply a letter with the vital information, and we don't want a magnet either, since that has been so popular lately.

In the course of reading dozens of wedding blogs and magazines, I came across one idea that seemed particularly cute, and another, similar one resurfaced today via twitter.

Relationship Timeline Save-the-Dates.

This is the first one I found, on the wedding blog EVER, 100 Layer Cake (Brides magazine agrees with me, and I'll prove it to you someday), and I thought everything about it was adorable.

The second one is equally cute, and was posted by The Knot on Twitter.
