Humpity Hump Day

vk2204

Happy Hump Day! How has your week gone thus far? Anything exciting going on for the rest of the week?

We are having a blood drive at work, so I will be donating later this afternoon. The last few times I tried to donate (years ago) they told me my iron levels were too low. Hopefully I will be able to today.

I need to look for a wedding dress one of these days. I have no motivation to do it anymore. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

Ah i need this week to be done.

Haha I have no idea how you are not up for dress shopping. I went as soon as it was even some what reasonable for me to be shopping. We are going to go dress shopping for my bridesmaids soon.

Can't wait for this week to be over, the past two days I have had a stomach bug, yuck! I keep telling myself to get started on some of my wedding DIY stuff, but I also keep telling myself that I have a lot of time! We have been focusing on bridesmaid dresses, and I need to schedule appointments to do that. VK--just go! you will be relieved once you get it done, and it was quite fun!

See, the thing is I HAVE gone, I went like 4 weekends in a row back in February. I was pumped at first, but since I am struggling finding something I just don't want to do it anymore.

 Oh nooo!!!!! Well maybe you just need a good break from it so you can go in with an open mind again. A lot of the newer styles are still coming out. We have some time. Did you atleast find a style that you liked?

I haven't gone in a while, but it's just a pain to find a time when I can get my mom and sister to go with me. I love the princess/ball gown dresses. I found 3 dresses from my first visits and I couldn't decide between them, so I brought my dad to help me because 'father knows best'. Well he doesn't like any of them. He chose a fitted A line dress for me and while it is beautiful, it is so not what I am looking for. Maybe I will rally the troops and try again this weekend.

I fear I have strep throat...I woke up with white spots on my tonsils.  Eek!  It could be tonsillitis, too, so I'm here, teaching at the school that gives me all my sore throat issues.  Sigh.

I booked my DJ and videographer this week, wedding wise!  Score!

vk, I'm sorry that you're feeling so BLAH about it.  Have you looked at pictures of gowns recently maybe to re-motivate you?

I hope your throat gets better quick! And high five for booking your dj and videographer! Those are good checks!

And I have tried to look at dresses online but it just stresses me out more. Because some of the shops only carry certain dresses from certain designers and I would end up having to go to 5 different stores for 5 different dresses. I am probably over thinking all of this lol.

erbear84

Probably, but I think if there's one time in your life to be super choosy, it's now, haha.  Is there a designer you really like?  That might be a place to start.  Or, a top-reviewed dress shop?  You could see what they sell to narrow things down. 

I know i'm pretty useless since I got my dress on day #1 but I really hope it helps!

This week has been pretty uneventful...just working on Step 1: getting fit!! But sunday I'm going dress shopping! :) oh, and I payed the deposit on my ceremony space woo!

ChelseaW36

HAppy Wednesday ladies! I picked up my dress last weekend! YAY! Now all I need to do is set up alterations for it (which I won't do for awhile) and we are putting our deposit down on our Vegas venue!!! AND I have the STD's ready to order once we for sure have our date/time! hurray! I'm feeling really good about this planning right about now!

I'm almost in the same boat with the disappoinments when looking for dresses. I have been to Davids Bridal over three times and I have not found anything I like. I went to two other appoinments at locl bridl shops but nothing I fell in love with. I am hoping the Allure trunk show on the 20th saves me and I have that moment. 

By the way, when you girls book your dj are you asking for a cd sample? I asked one guy and he did not have anything. That made me a little nervous. What do you think?

erbear84

I got a CD sample for my DJ...and he has a soundcloud where he just constantly updates mixes.  He's a current club DJ, though, so it's a little different.  Most DJs I've seen offer CDs or video of their services.

If I HAD to pick a designer, I would probably pick Vera Wang. I love most of her dresses. As for a dress shop, there is one that people on my local board have talked up quite a bit, but it is like an hour from home; so it would take up a good chunk of my day. Gosh I am such a pessimist lol.

Ah no! Its a good thing you're not settling & a lot of people dont find 'the dress' immediately. Just keep at it, I kind of wish I hadnt found my dress yet so I can go dress shopping more haha but I love my dress so I will stick with it.

VK, I traveled an hour to get my dress.  You just have to tell yourself it's worth it!

Thank you!!
