My Girls

All I ever talk about is our wedding and the plans (duh, since this is a wedding blog!), and me and MS, so I thought I should tell you a little about who is behind the scenes: My Girls. They have been the best and so helpful during our planning. Without them, our wedding would not be what it is becoming. I'll introduce you first to my MOH.

Me & my MOH

MOH A: We met in high school when we both became wrestling managers. It was an instant friendship. Every minute was spent together, even when we weren't doing wrestling stuff. She currently lives in Wisconsin (sad face) where she is going to college. Even though she is helping from afar, she has been the best! She is always emailing me and comes up with some awesome ideas. I love her and miss her. Can't wait until she gets here this summer!!!

Me & BM D

BM D: My oldest sister and one of my best friends. She is also working as our wedding coordinator. Her ideas are amazing and she is helping us make our dream wedding possible on a small budget, and from Las Vegas! She puts up with my 5234908234523479875 emails a day, constantly changing my mind, and having no clue about simple things. Her obsession of weddings has really come in handy!

Me & BM C

BM C: The middle sister of the 3 of us girls, and an amazing best friend. She too is in Las Vegas, but has been so helpful. Her thoughts and ideas are amazing and has helped make some big decisions. She also puts up with my emails and changing mind, and does so with a smile. She has agreed to do our hair and makeup, since she is incredibly talented at it!

BM H: Sorry, I don't have a picture (yet) with her! She is MS's little sister and just like another sister and best friend to me. Because she is the only one that lives in the same town, she gets to help me with all my projects and appointments! She is always more than willing to help and give her opinion. I am so lucky to be getting such an awesome person for a new sister.

My girls are amazing! I really think that I have the best wedding party out there. They are the best friends anyone could ask for and have been wonderful through this proccess. Hopefully they will still be able to put up with me when I'm freaking out about last minute things closer to the date! Thank you girls, I love you!!!! <3

Who is in your wedding party? Have they been as awesome and helpful as my girls have been?

All Dressed Up

I talked earlier about rehearsal dresses here. I honestly didn't think that I would wear a dress for this. I figured jeans or shorts and cute top. We are having a BBQ on the lawn at the in-laws house, so I didn't want to wear anything too dressy. But, after some browsing, I have decided that yes, I will wear a casual dress, and pair it with my cowboy boots. I hit up one of my favorite stores online, Victorias Secret, and narrowed it down to these 3 favorites.

Dress 1: Simple and cute. Love the color and pattern. Plus, it looks super comfy and relaxed!


Dress 2: I have been drooling over this dress for at least a year now, but never knew what I would wear it for, and now I would have a reason!!! It is so gorgeous and I love EVERYTHING about it.


Dress 3: Love how fun it is. The color is bright and cheery. I like that I would be able to wear a regular bra too, especially since the next day I will be all sucked up into my wedding dress!



So which dress did I choose?

I'll be honest. I wanted dress #2 the most. But, I had to use my rational side and look at the pros and cons of all the dresses.

Dress #1 seems too much like a beach cover up. Maybe a little too casual for any type of event (unless it is to go to the lake).

While dress #2 is absolutely stunning, and I have wanted it for so long, but I would probably only wear if for the one night. I just can't justify spending that much money on a dress I won't wear again.

So, I decided to purchase dress #3. It is fun and cute and dressed up a little, but not too much. I could also wear it to work or just around town. Another plus of this dress, it is the cheapest of all 3! In fact, it was cheap enough that I caved in and bought myself ANOTHER pair of cowboy boots! So picture this dress paired with these:


Do you think I made the right choice? Which dress would you have gone with?

Nice Buns

I want my BMs to have nice buns for my wedding. So I turned to the internet looking for some inspiration pics, and these are what I came up with:








I love the low, slightly off centered, simple bun. I also love adding a little something to the bun to dress it up. I am going to look around for something simple and pretty, maybe a flower, or just a lovely comb.

The problem I foresee with the bun is that not all my girls' hair is long enough! BM H's hair will be perfect. My MOH has TONS of GORGEOUS naturally curly hair, that is pretty long, and crazy thick! Both BM D and BM C have short hair that won't fit in a bun. I am thinking for them the a cute, little, low pony will look fine.

How are you planning on having your BM wear their hair? And what kind of buns were you thinking?!
