5 tips:
■ make sure you have the proper undergarments and wear your dress around the house for a few hours just to make sure.
■ don't skimp on your venue, dress or photographer (something I'm so glad we didn't do).
■ check in with all of your vendors 6 months and 1 month prior to your day.
■ expect for something to go wrong. it will.
■ enjoy the moments. don't rush and take it all in.
So the big day came and went. Now that it's been a few months I can take a look back with some perspective. 2012 was definitely was not felt by me. Spring and Summer came - I didn't really notice. All I had on my mind, was wedding, wedding, wedding! I finally got back in to the groove of things come December when I was able to once again "feel" the seasons, and I'm so happy because Christmas and New Year's were a blast - and I wasn't pre-occupied with little details all floating in my head. I wanted to take a moment to thank some of my fantastic vendors (list is at the very bottom) and of course share some of my details (and Etsy buys, which I had a lot of!). I did infuse some vintage in there of course, from the hubby's vintage black velvet bow tie, to my brooch bouquet which I made myself with many vintage and new brooches I collected. I'll definitely always look back and cherish all that was wonderful about the day - which was pretty much everything. And now I can finally get back to books, cocktails and giveaways!! So stay tuned, as a new giveaway is coming up very shortly! Happy 2013!!
