{My Flower Girls Headbands...CHECK!}

Ok so now that I am less than 4 months away from THE BIG DAY...I have officially labled this time as CRUNCHTIME! I am trying to check off as many items both big and small off my long long list of things to get done or to buy. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was in search of beautiful headbands for my daughters/flowergirls and guess what?!? I found them and they did not break the bank...of all places, I found these beautiful gems at TARGET, yes the TARGET. I was in there looking for cute Christmas decorations and of course when you have children your body goes on auto-pilot and you just somehow end up in the kids section. I saw these headbands and just about jumped for joy & scream but to spare myself the embarrasment I quietly grabbed the only two they had and made my way to the register and they were $4.99 a piece, oh my! I am so happy and my girlies just loves them, they are so gorgeous with the dress! CHECK, I can mark this off my list, YES!

:::{Flower Girl Headbands}:::

I really want my flower girls to be just as beautiful as I am on my wedding day because they are my daughters and are so excited about the wedding! I have found their dresses which are GORGEOUS and they love them as well.

I am all about accessorizing my daughter for the wedding because I use to own a baby boutique in which I made beautiful baby jewelry and hair accessories, so it comes natural to me. I plan on making my daughters accessories for the wedding but they have BIG curly hair and trying to find a cute style for them became a little frustrating until I discovered the gorgeous headband on the J. Crew website, I thought PERFECT....they can wear their hair down with cute headbands!

I am not sure if I can make these beautiful headbands but I'm sure going to try before I buy. Are you having flower girls and if so, have you thought about how their hair will be styled?


You can always turn to Etsy when you want something beautiful and unique....

Hair Ideas...

I hate to even bring this up because I'm mad at myself for not listening to my fiance. In June I decided to chop my hair off. My fiance kept saying he liked my long hair but I would look good with whatever I chose to do (I think he knew what he was planning in July). Well I chopped it and got the Rihanna a-symetrical bob and in July he proposed, I immediately thought oh my goodness my hair, LOL! I've always wanted my hair long on my wedding day because I want the whole beautiful updo. My hair grows super, super slow, since July it has only grown about 3 inches, and the winter weather is not good on my hair at all. I'm african-american and I choose to relax my hair every 6 weeks to keep my hair straight and I flat-iron my hair everyday. Between the weather, chemicals & heat my hair breaks and sheds but to keep my hair manageable I have to have these things.

I decided that I would grow my hair for the next 15 months and when it's time for my wedding I will add some extentions to get the look I really want. Keep in mind I want to wear a Birdcage Veil so I want a classic updo.
