Nice Things

I’ve been busy on the wedding front in many ways. Jonathon and I went back to our hometown a few weekends ago. We met with our officiant (Dr. Roberts) and took our flower girl and my future sister in law to lunch. (We also got new cell phones, but that’s aside from the point.)

Hannah, my sweet flower girl, is Jonathon’s cousin. She’s 11, smart, precocious, and fun to be around. She actually said to me “I’m glad you’re marrying Jonathon.” Which made my day. I love Hannah. She’s sweet.

I have also worked on other little things, but my mom got me part of my wedding jewelry for my birthday and my garter. I have to share these two things with you.

My garter mom got on sale. It’s a Mindy Weiss set.

I really wanted a nice garter, but nothing really fancy. We aren’t doing a traditional toss, but we are doing a toss. Basically, Jonathon only has one single guy friend and he is going to give the garter to him instead of tossing it.

The necklace, my mom got from an Indie website called Shana Logic. 

I really wanted my something blue (a light blue ribbon choker) to not be wasted or hidden. I happen to love blue and orange together so I opted not to hide it. Instead, I found this lovely cameo (which I love cameos… I have since I was a little girl going through my great- grandmother’s cameos.) So, as another tribute to her and to accentuate my lovely choker I am going to use this. I’ll take it off the blue and put it on my choker. Sigh. So lovely.

So, how are your wedding plans going?

Something Blue

No this isn't my something blue. It's my simply stunning engagement ring from the side. I love it. It's terribly cute. Super sweet. It's me. Anyway. I just thought I would share that since it was on my camera when I uploaded my something blue!

This is my something blue. It's a baby blue Marie Antoinette style ribbon choker. I found it at a shop in town called Apple Annies. The lady who owns it is amazing. We bought my mom a gift too and she gave us a bag and tissue paper to wrap it up in all pretty.

Oh and I got my choker for $6.00! I'm thinking about finding a pretty pearl pendant to attach to it. I know this might sound completely tacky.. but there is an old Kenneth Pool ad that has the model with about 6 pearl necklaces and I want that. It's so fashionista and flashing balls. So. Let me see if I can find the ad online. I can't. Anyway. That's what I would like. I already have 3 pearl necklaces... just pearls... one is a two stranded one.. JB calls it "the big guns" necklace. Lol. So we shall see.
