Bridesmaids
Audrey Inspired =)
Audrey Hepburn is a HUGE inspiration for me. So it's no wonder that I absolutely fell in LOVE with these Audrey Hepburn "Breakfast at Tiffany's" inspired Bridesmaid dresses =) They will be black just like Ms Hepburn's and I'm thinking about having the ladies wear their hair up in a French Twist like Audrey did in the movie too.

There are gorgeous pleated ruffles along the neckline and down the back along the straps of the dress. I'm also considering getting brooches for the backs of their dresses at the point where the straps meet. We shall see =)

What do ya think?!

Ring Warming Ceremony
We love the idea of having a Ring Warming Ceremony. (During the service, your rings are passed around to all of your guests. Each guest holds the rings briefly, while silently saying a blessing or wish for your union. This ritual is ideal for small ceremonies, and can be a great way to include your guests in the service.)

However we were a lil concerned about the rings getting dropped. Sooooooooooo we decided to use my Nightmare Before Christmas Ring Box to house our Wedding Bands. It originally came with two rings inside of it that read "We're simply meant to be"...and all around the box it says "For it is plain as anyone can see, we're simply meant to be". We'll be keeping these rings as "right hand rings" =)

Due to the size of our wedding, we will have a modified version of this ceremony in that the box will be passed around to our Wedding Party and a few select members of our family...otherwise we'll be waiting for the rings to make the rounds forever!!! =P

Wedding Cake
Awesome Nightmare B4 Xmas Cakes!!!
So in my search for the perfect Wedding Cake...we have been toying with the idea of having a Nightmare Before Christmas Cake. Our wedding will be a combination of Glossy Black Goodness with Damask and a touch of Fuschia for a pop of color =) ...and we'll have a very subtle hint of Nightmare Before Christmas throughout. You could say the theme of our wedding is Vintage Gothic Glam =)

Sooooooo...we're torn with the idea of doing a Damask type cake or a Nightmare Before Christmas themed cake. We don't want anything cheesy...but something very tasteful. Well....we found these two amazing cakes!!!

At first you may think it's a lil morbid...but my family knows we're huge Nightmare Before Christmas fans so I don't think they would find it out of the ordinary for us at all =)

The baker we've been talking with said she could also try to do a mixture of damask with the Nightmare B4 Xmas theme...Check out the Damask Jack Skellington print I sent her for reference =) I also love the black & white silhouetted version of Jack & Sally =)

Dance Lessons!!!
Check it Out!!!
We definitely want to do something unique for our First Dance. So we're thinking about starting off with a traditional slow dance song...and then having the DJ scratch the record & cutting into this...check it out...with some slight revisions for reality of course =P

We're HUGE Addams Family fans so I think it would be very fitting =P

What do ya think?!

Ask a Question
Which Shoes For My Black & White Dress?!
So I'm looking for shoes to go with my dress...originally I wanted Fuschia shoes to go with my Black & White dress for a pop of color...

Now I'm not so sure... I don't want it to clash with all the ornateness and detailing of my dress. I need some help!

As per my previous post, I definitely need a Kitten Heel or Flats b/c I am so anti-heel. I don't know why but I have the hardest time with heels and have always just been much more comfortable with flats. Problem is, all the shoes I love are heels!!! ARGH!!! I also really like the look of the ruffled shoes since I'm going for a Parisian feel...

So I need your help ladies...what do you think I should do? Any suggestions? (Btw, thanks so much to unpredictablebride & kristah for all the amazing links!!! You ladies rawk!!! XOXO)

Please help!!! =)
