My dream

 
As you know the past couple of weeks I've been neglecting my blog. I love being busy, because busy comes with a paycheck, and less being bored. Boredom makes me feel well I guess bored. Last two weekends ago I went and tried on wedding dresses. I found some beautiful dresses, but this whole planning a wedding has me annoyed. Some days I just want to plan a gorgeous occasion other days I'd rather go to the court house and sign a marriage license and say the hell with a dress, and flowers, and cakes and food. 
My dream is to be in love forever and be loved forever and have baby's and live next door to the ocean and work out of my own bakery.

Sweet Vera

The other night I stayed up and watched DC Cupcakes, when Katherine gets married. Cried like a baby. You always can tell when two people are in true love together. Not to mention the googly eyes I was giving her dress, a Vera Wang strapless Chantilly. I can't wait to go dress shopping (15 more lbs to go).



 The cupcake cake tower was so freak-en huge. My sister will be making our wedding cake cakes. My thoughts are a table of sweets with 3 or 4 cakes and macaroons and cucpcake, etc. I just might even make my own cupcake toppers. This is a DIY wedding after all. I know Keinrick is going to want chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. His favorite sweet is chocolate :) I'll post more ideas on my cake soon.

Crushing on

Some items I found online that I'm crushing on as inspiration for the wedding are:


I know for sure I'll be ordering some of these Hangers. Probably one for each person in our wedding party as part of their gifts and of course one for Keinrick and I. The Chiffon dresses I L-O-V-E! I'm thinking bridesmaid dresses...

First Draft Dresses

Lets talk wedding dresses. Now, I haven't gone and tried any on, on the grounds I'm looking to lose a full 30lbs first and I have a good amount of time. But I know what I like and what I don't like, wait scratch that. I don't know shiznit. I'm always changing my mind about...pretty much everything. Wonder if I'll have that moment of tears and butterfly's when I try on "the dress". Will I know that "this is the one". Gosh I hope I'll know. I'm basing my first draft style and on a romantic effortless feel. Let me explain. I don't wear a lot of makeup and I'm not big on changing my jewelery like I change my wardrobe. I like my cloths to make my body go BAM! without me having to try as hard, thus the effortless feel. 

SN: Ummm..before I go on let me just say, I'm not trying to offend anyone.. Mommy told me to do it my way so DON'T HATE ME!

For now this is what I hate: 
*Prom looking dresses- nothing bothers me more then seeing a wedding dress look like a prom dress. I'm so bothered by it I didn't even bother to look up a photo of one.
*Pure white- Now being as pure as they come (wink wink). I'm not to into going white for my wedding. My mother didn't go white either, must run in the family. 
*No No short wedding dress- I don't mind short in the front, but it must be long in the back. Like train long. 
 








This is what the experts say  "I" should be wearing. But I'm sure I'll find something that gives the experts a my middle finger :).
