one more lindz...



How about this cute teal one?? If only it wasn't like $350.... oh and I bought another pair of shoes, just to see which ones looked better with the dress!! (beth don't kill me, I promise we can return the other ones if I don't wear them..... but who knows, maybe I will wear both!! haha)
These are them:


I should have them next week to be sure I ordered the right size (keep your fingers crossed) and then I will have both to bring home with me for my fitting!

I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITED I CAN'T STAND IT. Oh- and me and Mr. Ducks applied for our marriage license yesterday. He picks it up today!!! Easiest. Thing. I. Have. Ever. Done (you think it would be a bit more difficult!!)

Love

oh.ma.ga

So it is 4:30 on Friday and I am doing what I do best. Online shopping! Ha!
For real... browsing the internet in search of the perfect rehearsal dinner dress (and okay, some might be better for a hot bach party- but who cares). Check out this hotness:

flowers

So I found a link on weddingbee where ladies are talking about their experiences with fiftyflowers.com, where I will be ordering all our flowers from. All seemed to have good experiences. I also found a girl that made similar centerpieces with the same flowers. Take a look:

These are garden roses, mine will be all white, but similar idea. They look great and she said they were pretty easy- so it shouldn't be too bad. Just a lot of stems to cut once they arrive!

hair.... and flowers

So I am trying to figure out how I want to wear my hair.... and this is what I have come up with so far...... the front (except I don't have bangs). I want it airy, not super tight and hair sprayed


And this is sort of what I want in the back, except for with a different flower.



Not sure how it is going to look, any other ideas??? I would love to do some curls and wear it down, since I have let it grow, but that will last like .5 seconds before it frizzes up and we definitely don't want to see it after dancing- ahhhh!

I am not sure if the calla lilies we are ordering are the short stems or the long, but after seeing both of these photos, I don't really care. I love them both!!





Getting so close.... eeekkkk!
Love

PS- booked my flight last night to go home in October for my dress fitting- now I just need to get rid of the Oprah arms and I will be ready to go (and I may need some duct tape to hold down the girls in my dress!! ha- or my step dad might make me wear a turtle neck over it!)
