Too little too late.


Here's another blue and orange inspiration board. I like the bridesmaid's dresses and the cake is REALLY cute with the little orange fish.
On another note, I have found the three caterers I like and I just have to get one more quote. Then I think I'll pick two for tastings and revised quotes. Time is flying and I feel like there is never time to just sit down and cross stuff off my list. Can't wait to go dress shopping with Jilly in August. Can you "work from home" for a couple days? haha.

The informality of going formal.

Thanks B for this beautiful display of what's quickly becoming the clear color scheme winner. I truly cannot decide on the dark or the light blue, but at least I know this is a narrowed decision. B and I agree that the darker blue lends to a more formal affair while the light bright blue is more beachy and laid back. Dave's working on the band and bar situation. I've got one quote in from a caterer and I'm waiting to hear back from my first choice caterer. Mashed potato martini bar either way...

This blue takes the cake.

This is my favorite so far...

Fashionably sensitive.


Is this ugly? I can't tell. I think it's cute and I kind of wish I could just wear it. Pick a shoe, any shoe. i just grabbed two I like from shoes.com, but the ones on the right are SUPER tall. The dress color is AMAZING, it's the blue I've been looking for and it's appropriately named Vintage Blue. Perf.

Maid for the bride.

Here are three strapless bridesmaid dresses that I like from jcrew.com. I don't think I'm fashionable enough to pick out a dress for four people. How about we pick a store and everyone picks out the dress they like in one shade or maybe even multiple shades? To make the MOH look different, Jill could have a different bouquet or a sash of a corresponding color. And for shoes, as it turns out, all my 'maids are on the short to medium heighth so flip flops may be out of the question. Maybe wedges? Something comfortable for sure. I'm going to need some help here. Think sun dresses meets cocktail dresses.

The sun sets in your drink.

How cute are these? Wonder if they'd make the guests' lips/tongues/teeth turn blue... And what exactly does a blue drink taste like?
