The best day of my life!

Awkward Engagment Photos

We've all seen them. We know they are out there: Awkward Engagement Pictures. They're everywhere you look. In the mail, on the internet, in newspapers etc. I am going to dedicate a few future posts to them. They are so amazing I would think they deserve their own blog but since I already have 3 blogs I figured I will just add a section into this one. Please leave feedback and also links to your favorite awkward engagement photos!

Is the dog part of the deal? You get me, you get the dog. Probably.

A little white trash I would say

Nothing says love better than two cheap champagne cups under a nasty bridge.

Maybe they are showing off their best sides. If so I wouldn't want them to turn around.

I love how his face is smashed into her chestal area.

-----

She's bent so far over backwards she looks like she may fall. And, what is he kissing?

-----

My favorite one of this post: where's his face? Where are her hands sitting? hm...

This may possibly be the most painful engagement picture ever. Period.

Flowers and Invites...

Right now my dear mother and I are looking at (in no particular order): flower vendors, cake vendors and invitations. I'm not going to lie, it's giving me a headache!! As most of you know my colors are black and white. Black- because it's my favorite color ever. White - just because. And then wer are planning on doing lime green and pink accents.... I really want gerber daisies as my flowers in lime green and pink but we will see how that goes.

So I want to post a few ideas that I've been looking at online and get some amazing ideas :)

Flowers:

I like this boquet!! It has hydrangeas' and gerber daisies!! Love love it! (obviously in differenc colors...) What do you think?

This boquet is completely hydrangeas'. Pretty and something my mom and I could do by ourselves. I like the ribbon hanging down. Obviously it wouldn't be in blue. Maybe pink with black ribbon? I don't know...

Invites:

(Look! This one I was able to customize!!!)

Me Likey

And then with these ones we would just print a picture and put it in with it, under some vellum or something. Whaddya think? 

Anyways these are just some ideas that we have been toying with. What do you think?? Do you know any place to get awesome deals on invites and flowers? If so let me know!!! :-)

Reception Center!

We chose our reception venue!! Highland Gardens! It's just south of Lone Peak High School in Highland UT. My mom suggested it last Monday and I was a little confused because growing up this place had just been a flower nursery. But I went with my mom to look at it and I fell in love! It's gorgeous! There are inside gardens with streams running through them - so you have the sound of running water! The ceiling can either be closed or open - depending on if it's raining outside or not. It's absolutely 100% perfect!!

If you want to look at the pictures just go to - www.hgardens.com - and click on 'photo gallery'! The pictures are definitely worth looking at :-)

About the Dress

When you start planning a wedding the first thing that you think of is finding the perfect dress. For me this wasn't that hard. I've always had an idea in my mind of what I wanted and thankfully I found it!! :-) My friend, Sarah, works at Alysse's Bridal and so I went in there to look one day and she so graciously started pulling out almost every dress in the store for me to try on!! The one I ended up buying I had seen on the mannequin and I didn't like it there but I loooved it on!! Dress problem solved.

When I bought my dress I had: Devin, my mom, my sister, dad, brother, little sister and other little sister there for a 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7th opinion! (Plus Sarah who was helping me in and out of each of them :) ) So I'm hoping that my dress will be all I hoped for and more :-)

Apparently, these girls below didn't have anyone with any type of fashion sense accompany them when they bought their dresses. Poor poor brides.

I don't think she has enough of a train. What do you think??

I'm not a huge fan of Gilmore Girls though I've seen it a couple times. But when i have seen it Loralie, pictured above, has always seemed to have pretty good fashion sense. Why couldn't that have followed her onto her wedding day? The roses on the chest need to go!

Apparently this is 'haute couture'. Hopefully no one actually wears it. Except for maybe a nun, on her wedding day.

Bahahhahaha. Save it for the wedding night lady.

Hm. I'm sure she has a great personality.

Okay, some people like this style, all the bunching etc. But I can't stand it. Plus the model looks like an overly tan, peroxide head evil minion with world domination on her mind.

Bahahhahahahahahahahahaha.
