Friday Chat Thread

Is anyone still here?  I thought I'd jump in and start chatting.  I don't post much over here (spend most time on SB) but I thought with things approaching it would be useful to come here for advice/questions/etc..

Hi brandichamberlain! Welcome to the time-suck that is our Friday Chat.

I wish it would suck time faster. 

Wait, what?

bridetobe71412

Say suck again.

brandichamberlain

Thanks for the welcome.  I am bored at work, we are much slower than I thought we would be today.

bridetobe71412

Brandi, what do you do?

k8888

brandi, tell us about your weddingggg

bridetobe71412

Yeah, I like k8888's question better. I much prefer talking about weddings to work. Work is the suck. (I appear to like the word "suck" today . . . )

My title is Executive Assistant and Commercial Loan Officer.  So obviously, I work at a bank.

My wedding is July 14th.  We are having it in Northwest Arkansas.  We are doing a black/white color scheme (damask) and so far it is coming together. 

Here is my dress for the ceremony:


Here is my dress for the reception:




Those are my actual shoes for the wedding as well. 

Bouquets:







Pics of venue:








I'm done being an AW now.

Love both dresses... so cute!

I'm doing very similar colors.  I'm obsessed with damask!  We're throwing in hot pinks and fuschias, too.

The great part about my "dresses" is that it is the same one :)  Right under the bustline where that material seems to go around- it lifts up and the skirt snaps on.

I was just going to ask if that was the same dress! It reminds me of Madisonpenny's. Very cool!

And your venue is so pretty! I love the ceremony area.

bridetobe71412

oooooooo I love everything about your wedding, including the date! I'm also July 14th. I absolutely love the venue photos. That is so cool! And the bouquets. LOVE them.

yay for wedding porn

Thanks.

We originally had a Sept. date and we were crushed because this place was booked then.  We had a whole huge ordeal (other venue took $2500 and closed without a refund, date had to change, had to start planning over) so when we picked a July date and they had it open, we were so excited.

MeaganR12

omg I love love love your venue Brandi!

bridetobe71412

I'm glad you were able to make July work! Looks like it'll be gorgeous. I've never been to Arkansas. Is it hot in July?

MeaganR12

And seriously why do I never have time to knot anymore???? Work sucks.
