updates...

Since April 2013, a lot have been going on. We haven't talked about having a wedding at all since 2012. Which is okay but financially, we have nothing for the wedding and it would be okay to actually save up. NOW, my brother on the other hand is getting married this year. I think May 2014. I have seen bits and pieces of the wedding and I heard she wants to get live peacocks for the reception and I'm a bit worried about that for the kids' sake. BUT, was able to snag a pic of the bridesmaids dresses and wanted to see what y'all thought of it. It's not a great picture but at least it's A picture!! She purchased it online which I wont ever do again!! Please comment!

Possible bridesmaids dresses

We were just going through some Alfred Angelo dresses and we came across these dresses... Fiancee really like the BERRY color dresses here... kind of redish-purple...with either ivory or champagne color to it.

We had the bridesmaids try on a few dresses and thought i'd put them on here for you all to see as well..

 

Delay...

There is now a delay in the wedding due to alot going on and also with christmas and whatnot. So we are now going to wait until 2014.

Since there is alot of ideas and things that i have been thinking of doing for the wedding, its throwing off the budget more. So instead of getting rid of it all, we decided to just push back the wedding for AUGUST 24, 2013!!

My flowergirl, MY DAUGHTER, Chloe and her dress.

These are the other dresses she tried on:

make up/ hair trial

Make up and trials along with me in the dress I had potentially wanted to buy but got conflicted between the dresses I had origionally tried on (liked the first one with Tulle and that belt looking design across the waist). Shows the back of the up do which i really liked as well as the makeup.. loved the fake lashes minus the eyeballs being poked at the end of the day which i believe it was because i was wearing my glasses too close to them.

another dress

other dresses

Here are the other dresses that made me think I should just buy a newer dress for the wedding. This is the older dress:

We found another possible reception place and oh my... i really like it. in love with the stairway in one of the banquet rooms... and that room seats 150 people!! http://banquetatthebno.com/
Also, we are definitely thinking to keep the Buhl Mansion as an official place to have the ceremony: this particular room is gorgeous. When we looked in the mansion there was a balcony which i absolutely adored to as well since it was in front of a glass stain window!

So, now its just time to crunch numbers and get going once we officially find a reception area and pick an official date. We are aiming for MAY 2013 :) SO excited!!!
