Wedding Planning So Far!

Last weekend I flew to New Orleans and tackled a LOT of wedding junk in one weekend! It was so fun, but soooo exhausting! I was lucky enough to have my favorite sister, mom, and future mother in law with me! I can now mark bridesmaids dresses, invitations, ceremony/reception, rehearsal dinner, and my dress off my list! I love it, but I'm really glad you only buy one of those in your life!! It was so much more stressful than I ever imagined! If any of you are in the market for a dress...let me tell you a #1 rule- STOP watching Say Yes to the Dress!!! Haha it is misleading and makes you feel like a crazy person when you don't walk out of the dressing room and see the birds from Cinderella dancing around singing a song when you put on "the one". It's just not reality! I will this: bring a small number of people whose opinions you trust, try on a few dresses before your big appointments so you have a better idea of what you want, and to not get wrapped up in how you've always pictured yourself. I did this and it made me so stressed! I always pictured myself in some ridiculously big princess dress, and let me tell you, the only thing ridiculous was how I looked in it! No mam.

Check out both our amazing photographers (like I am normal enough to just have one)!

Meagan Fisher is doing our engagements in the Nashville area since trying to get both Jacob and I to South La and hoping the weather cooperates might be a bit of a task! Meagan was recommended to me by my friend Aaron, and when I met her this week I knew this would be a great match! She was soo sweet and I can't wait for our shoot!

Brandon ONeal was the photographer for my both good friends Kim and Jordan's weddings! He came highly recommended by them and Jacob's favorite picture of meBrandon took at Jordan's wedding! I have complete confidence that he can deal with my level of crazy!

I changed my wedding colors about 4 times this past weekend....and finally landed on this:


I've been obsessed with coral since high school (my room was painted a very bright obnoxious coral) and I love it to this day! I went back and forth a lot, and decided on navy for the dresses and coral for the flowers. Hopefully all 9 of my beautiful bridesmaids like it!!

That's probably more than your fill of wedding... stay tuned for the crazy! Oh and of course I made a wedding website:
