AW: Wedding stuffs (PIP)

Swazzle · April 2013

I'm bored so I figured I'd AW some WR stuff

A couple weekends ago I spent all day making these for on the tables, bars, wherever:

Our cake topper arrived recently:

I had my hair and makeup trials recently. I don't love my hair. I'm did that day, but not so much when I see pics now. I am getting my hair cut and colored on Saturday so I'm going to talk to her about it that day.

And I had a dress fitting on Saturday. They have to take my dress in a bit more so I'll have one more fitting next Thursday and then I get to pick it up for good a week later

I love your dress! You look amazing in it

What is it that you don't like about your hair?

Hummingbird125 · April 2013

Your dress is so gorgeous. I actually really like your hair, what are you thinking about changing?

Stina51286 · April 2013

You so perty!

Beth and Hummingbird: I'm not really sure how to explain it... I feel like from the side, it looks like I'm wearing a helmet.

CASK85 · April 2013

LOVE everything! I wish I could crash your wedding

KeptInStitches · April 2013

Your dress is so gorgeous! I hope that you and your stylist can get your hair sorted out easily.

Peaseblossom55 · April 2013

I love eveything! I really do like the hair but I hope you find something you do really love. Can't wait to crash this wedding.

Hummingbird125 · April 2013

RDR - what about asking her to make it poof up a little higher on top?

motoLyn · April 2013

I would tackle hug you but I think I would mess up your hair. So I'll settle for an air hug and tell you that everything looks spectacular!

<div>I wanted it to be a little lower and a little more to the side, so I'm definitely going to have her do that. </div><div>
</div><div>I think my issue is that there's no definition in the back. It just looks like a big poof to me. So rather than a big poofy helmet, I want like a curly-ish sorta low side bun? Gahhh so confusing!</div>

minskat30 · April 2013

Love, love, love the dress. You are going to be so pretty on your wedding day!

Blue & White · April 2013

rdr, WHERE did you get your cake topper? Because um...my bestie wants one like that and can't find a good one, haha. wanna sell it after your wedding? cause I mean, she's not getting married till October...?!

I love love love the cork candle holder thingies

You're getting so close! I KNOW because my FI told me I was getting old soon yesterday, which means you're getting MARRIED soon. I was sure to remind him it wasn't like TOMORROW or anything

Vintagelove4 · April 2013

Your dress is so pretty!

[Deleted User] · April 2013

I love everything! It looks so beautiful! I think your hair looks gorgeous and I'm sure w/e you change it to will look great! I love the wine corks btw.

Everything is gorgeous, and I actually really like your hair

doubleSS07 · April 2013

I love when you guys share! Today is exactly 4 months out and I'm tired of planning. I still love the candle holders and well of course the dress. Are you going for a more formal look for your hair or casual? I think I know what you are getting at with the lower and more to the side.

So exciting to see everything at once! It's all coming together RDR. (You're so purdy BTW)

Question. I've been debating about undergarments. did you have cups sewn in or are you wearing a bra? I have DD, so i'm guessing what works for you will work for me! (I don't really want to wear a bra...but I also prefer not to fall out of my dress! KWIM?)

<div>I got a long-line bra. I wanted to feel tucked in in my tummy area as well as keep the girls in check. I also feel MORE comfortable in this than a normal strapless because the boning helps hold it up whereas strapless bras are just painful for me. </div><div>
</div><div>When I tried it with my dress, it showed a little at the top and also in the back. My seamstress sewed it into my dress to keep it from showing in the front and I have to undo the top 2 clasps in the back to keep it from showing through the corset back thing (which ends up being good for my back fat lol). </div>

Thanks! I've been debating about the long-line bras. I just think it will provide a little more "lift" than a traditional strapless...which I've never really been able to pull off. Thanks for the tip! I may go looking this weekend for a good deal.

<div>Yea I wanted the lift. I always feel super saggy in a regular strapless and plus the next day I feel like I'm bruised from it which is never fun. </div>
