More Wedding Hair Ideas

I've officially decided that I will definitely wear my hair up for my wedding. After Sarah Elizabeth's Wedding last month, I am definitely not wearing my hair down in August here in Nashville. It's way too hot and it was in the 90s throughout August this year and I'm assuming next year will be mostly the same. Here's some more up-do pictures that I found searching online.





















Now, I need to find a Nashville hair place that does great wedding looks, and that is large enough to hold and complete hair styles for 1 Bride, 8 Bridesmaids, 2 Flower Girls and 2 Mothers. I'm open to any suggestions.

Dress on the Horizon

I've officially decided which bridesmaid dress that I'm going to go with and the winner is Short Cotton Sateen Spaghetti Strap Dress Style F14138 AND...Cotton Sateen Strapless Dress with Ruching and Pockets Style 83312. I'll have 4 bridesmaids in one dress and 4 in the other. They will be every other when they line up.


David's Bridal - Style F14138



David's Bridal - Style 83312

And here is what my two flower girls will be wearing. They are the cutest little girls ever and they will look great in these dresses.


David's Bridal - Style 83312
These Flower Girl Dresses will be in Horizon Blue. I couldn't find a picture of it to display.


Example of Flower Girls in Blue Dresses!!

Something Blue - Wedding Shoes

I was looking online randomly for blue flats for my wedding in less than a year and I just purchased my wedding shoes. They should match the bridesmaid dresses quite nicely. Here's a picture.


Women's Mossimo Supply Co. Odell Ruffle Ballet Flats
Royal Blue - Only $12.99 @ Target

I'm truly thinking about just having all of my bridesmaids purchase gray ballet flats so they are comfortable and we all match. It would be super easy and adorable!!

Overstock.com Wish List

As I know I've said before, Lance and I are looking for furniture to fill our first home. Here are a couple items that I found on overstock.com that I'm looking to purchase this week.


Beckett Buffet - Only $423.99
Perfect China Cabinet! It's half cabinet half buffet. I like the look of this shorter cabinet for our new china that we are getting from Lance's parents. It was Lance's Grandma's china.


Maxine Printed Paisley Duvet Set - Only $37.03
I'm purchasing the Black King Size set.


Hitch Antique Gold Finish Table Lamp - Only $44.99 Each
I'd place 2 of these lamps on each night stand next to our master bed.

Full Weekend - Dress & Ikea!

Last weekend, Lance and I went to Atlanta for two reasons. 1) For Lance to attend a Bachelor Party for his fraternity brother, Kyle, that is getting married in September. 2) To purchase my wedding dress!!! Kim, Brenna and I went to my favorite wedding dress shop in Atlanta, Treasures Formal to see my favorite consultant Lauren.

Like I said before, I was down to two dresses and here is the one that I purchased:


Sophia Tolli Demetria


Close Up


Small Preview

While in Atlanta, Kim (Lance's Mom) and I went shopping at Ikea!! I picked up a couple things for our first house that we will be moving into on October 28th. I can't wait to decorate the whole house exactly how I want to. Here's a little preview on what I picked up at Ikea and a couple items I'll probably go back and pick up on our next visit to Atlanta in November:


Pyra Wok - Only $4.99



Dark Gray King Sheet Set


4- Bottle Wine Rack - Only $9.99
So I bought 2!!

Some items on my wish list. I'll definitely purchase these next time:


Gray Rug - Only $19.99
We are going to measure our new house this week and see what size rug we will need in our dinning room. If this rug is large enough I will definitely purchase this one. It's so pretty!


Bleached Merete Curtains - Only $19.99
These will go great with my gray and white rug above.

I found some great gray floral duvet set that would go great with my new dark gray sheets, but Ikea didn't have them in a King Size set. Booo! I'll have more pictures of furniture that we are purchasing for our first home and after pics of my decorating skills.
