Updates & Fired Bridesmaids...

At the start of my wedding I picked 3 bridesmaids (2 cousins & a friend) and my sister as my MOH. My sister has been super sweet and helpful. She goes with me to all my fittings, searched for shoes when I couldn't find any and offers to help with my D.I.Y. projects, I love her so much and couldn't ask for a better MOH. I made the cute cards below for everyone::

I have been a super nice bride, not a bridezilla in the least. But my bridesmaids have all been detached and one of my cousins even seem a little jealous. I kept giving them chances to come around but last week was it! With less than 6 months to go we need to order dresses. I asked everyone last week if they could meet on November13th to order dresses, everyone had an excuse except my sister who could make it. I called my FH upset and asked for his advice and he knew everything that I have been going through with them and suggested that I just remove them from the wedding. He said I didn't need the dress which is so true! I called the girls and simply told them that I decided to only have my sister in the wedding.
Has anyone else gone through this? Was I wrong for “firing” them?

A few updates...we have almost booked a caterer, tasting in two weeks will determine our pick. I have ordered the supplies for the invites. I am also working on creating my own damask napkins. I also have some super cute damask ribbon to share with you guys, you wouldn't believe where I found it! Stay tuned...

Sneek Peek of My Dress & Bridal Party Dresses Ordered!!

Saturday was GREAT! I went for my first fitting and my dress fits like a glove. The only alteration that I need is the top of my dress because it sticks out a little. I needed to find the right bra which I did thanks to Victoria's Secret, Infinity Edge Multi Way Bra...I have not been able to try this on yet with my dress but I will at my next fitting. Here is a sneak-peek of my dress::

We didn't have any luck at DB, my sister was just not happy with any of the dresses she tried on so she ended up picking out something at the boutique where my dress was purchased and also got 10% off, yay!! My sister/MOH found a dress that she absolutely LOVED! It's Alfred Angelo Style 7017. We ordered it in Espresso & Champagne.

My bridesmaids will be wearing Alfred Angelo Style 7016 in Espresso, they look great together!

{{Eye Candy}} Dream Wedding Dresses!

I feel so bad that I can't show you guys my dress. I thought if I couldn't show you the real thing I would show you some of my dream dresses. If money was no object with my planning I would have purchased a dress from Priscilla of Boston. Not only do they have beautiful wedding dresses but their salons are beyond amazing and I have heard nothing but GREAT things about their customer service. Their 2009 collection has so many stunning gowns that range from mermaids to the classic a-line. There are many contributing designers that sketch and make dresses for their unique salon but my favorite designs come from the work of Melissa Sweet, her they are classic with a simple twist, love her!

If money was no object for you, who would be your dream dress designer & why?
