This weekend not only did I hit opening day at Nordstrom in Cherry Hill, I also crossed a big to-do off the list. I picked all the readings for our wedding mass. I'll tell you, I got teared up when I read the vow section. I can't believe in just a short 7 months Paul and I will be married!

Less than 8 months to go.....

I've been VERY behind on posting to my blog. I apologize. I need a swift kick in the butt sometimes.

I'm sure there's more, but this is what I have so far!

My Wedding Hair

I am still considering my hairstyle for the big day. I was going to take out my highlights and just stick with one solid color. However, Julie, my hairdresser, recommends keeping the highlights. Since she's fabulous, I'm going to stick with her suggestion.

I'm leaning toward a half-up/half-down look. I would like to include a barrette in my hair.

I ordered the following barrette from JenaRichards.com:

Save the Dates

We are working with Proud to Plan for our STDs and Wedding Invitations. Erin and TJ Proud do fabulous work and they are very affordable. I highly recommend working with them. They have great ideas and sent us samples until we were completely satisfied. Check out their website - Proud to Plan.


Here's our STD:





I love them - they turned out fabulous! The paper quality is incredible! Plus the envelopes were printed with a font to match the STD. (Excuse the blocked out website - I need to upload a picture when I am back home)

My Shoes - the first pair, the only pair?

I've always wanted to treat myself to a super nice pair of designer shoes. I'm hoping to find a great pair for my wedding day.

In the meantime, I found an affordable pair in case I can't find my dream shoes. I bought them online at Shoes.com.



I selected ivory to match my dress.
