HAPPY MONDAY,
I only have 6 days to go before I get married and it has really hit me now. I am filled with excitement and I cannot wait. Today is all about ME. I have invested so much time, energy, and money on the wedding itself, but I also had to make sure that the BRIDE is on point :-)
Rhinestone Panties and Shirts- I went crazy with the rhinestone iron on transfers. I purchased all of them from eBay and just transferred them over to shirts and even my wedding day panties lol. Im wearing the shirts each day while in South Florida. Im wearing the white (here comes the bride) one while Im getting ready
the purple one Thursday
the white (Kayla-Rena) one Friday for the wedding rehearsal :-)
Wedding Day Perfume- My fiancé and I was in the mall last year just shopping when we passed by VS and he saw a big sign that was introducing their new Gorgeous perfume. It caught his eye because thats actually his affectionate nickname for me. He smelled it and loved it (I loved it too). So he purchased the set and told me he wanted me to wear it on the wedding day (that was an easy check)!
Wedding Day Jewelry- I was blessed to catch an AMAZING sale at Dillards last month and I purchased the crystal necklace, earring, and pear/rhinestone bracelet for a total of $39.55. It is so beautiful and sparkles even in the dark and matches my dress perfectly. The other 2 bracelets are something old and borrowed. I cant wait for you guys to see it on me on the wedding day.
Wedding Day Shoes- I really wanted the crystal Benjamin Adams shoes, but I had to rethink that decision because my wedding day weave was super expensive (LoL), and I have been super spoiled with everything else and I really felt guilty and didnt want my fiancé to spend so much more money on shoes. So I told my fiancé that I wanted some other shoes and to put the rest of the money to our honeymoon excursions. So I found these super cute shoes by Paris Hilton on heels.com (I didnt even know she had a shoe line). I also purchased my rhinestone sandals for the reception from DSW online. It worked out good and we saved money. I love both shoes and I still get my sparkle. *I need to put my I Do letters on the bottom of the shoes*
Wedding Day Make-Up- I did my make-up trial last week Monday and I love it. My make-up artist also does my eyebrows and lashes on the regular as well as my moms. I love her work and she has become a friend of the family, so my mom is flying her down for the wedding to make sure my make-up is flawless
my mom is the BEST!
Mrs. White Parasol- I purchased the parasol from Hobby Lobby and my moms friend painted Mrs. White on it. I plan to use it for Bridal Pictures.
PJs- My PJ set that I will wear for my last night as a single woman ;-)
*SURPRISE ALERT*
It was too late to order the reception dress I wanted and I didn't like any other dresses, but wanted something to really dance in. So I was thinking and thinking and I remembered Khole Kardashians wedding and I loved when they changed into the velour sets at the wedding reception. So I talked to my bridal party about it and they loved the idea, and we decided to do it. Im the only one wearing white, and my girls will be in purple velour sets and will have their name embroidered on the back. I cant wait to surprise everyone and my fiancé. I will definitely be able to get down and have fun in the velour set. I actually went back on eBay and had a seller do a personalized rhinestone iron on transfer with my new last name and wedding date :-) I will wear the tank with the white velour set.
P.S. Make sure you send me some top notch exclusive shots in the dress (lol)
