Laine & Pete

It’s late, so this is going to be quick. Here are some pictures of the girls getting ready for the wedding:

We picked up Pete’s ring today and we both love it. It’s white gold with a brushed hammered finish, high-polished edges, and miligrain inside borders. . . . . . . . .

At the last wedding I went to about half the female guests ended up barefoot by the end of the night. I love super cute heels that go perfectly with my outfit, but after a glass or two of wine you just don’t care about fashion as much as comfort. Since we plan to have [...]

Lately there has been a lot of buzz about some new websites popping up that offer deep discounts on high end designer merchandise. Some examples designers are Manolo Blahnik, Armani, Marc Jacobs, Nicole Miller, and BCBG. Unfortunately, most of them are invite only. The good news is I’ve managed to get invitations for all of [...]

Finally! For some reason I’ve anguished over this decision, probably because it’s so difficult to really judge jewelry online. I also didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for “fashion jewelry”. I nearly bought a pair from ebay, but they were a little small. There was a pair on Overstock I was eyeing, [...]

Yes, I said cheap. Only because I spent about three months googling “cheap mantilla veil” with absolutely no luck at all, so hopefully this post will save another bride some time and frustration.

Since we just booked the honeymoon we decided to go shopping today and pick up some (really cheap) beach clothes. We still want to look good, but these aren’t things we’ll wear everyday (OK, maybe Pete will) so there’s no reason to break the bank. Here are our finds: Laine Blue Sun Dress | Maroon [...]

My mom finally found her dress! She’s been looking for a while but hadn’t had much luck, so we’re all excited about this. We searched all over: Dillards, Macy’s, Nordstroms, Saks, Neiman Marcus, the list goes on. Mom finally found a beautiful affordable dress at David’s Bridal (surprisingly). Check it out on their site here, [...]

I love DSW. Check out the adorable mary janes I just bought for the wedding day. Even with shipping included I got them for $34 since I had a rewards coupon. See Pete, my shoes addiction is actually saving us money now! . . . . . . . . .

I am so excited, my wedding gown came in yesterday!! One of my bridesmaids, Michelle, met me at the bridal shop and I tried it on while she took pictures. It’s perfect and needs very little altering. The only major thing I’m thinking about changing is the sash. I might replace it with a lilac, [...]
