Bridal Photos!

Well my bridal photos are in and I am VERY please with how they turned out! Since I wanted them to have an "artsy" feel, we did a lot of my photos on location in a broken down building and then some outside with an infrared film. They turned out very "high fashion" in my opinion. I did of course do the traditional in studio shoot for the oil painting too. I wish I could show everyone these photos, but sadly I must wait 8 more months before I can post them.

Note: photo above is an example of infrared photography by my photographer Tom Wood. This is another bride from a few years ago, but this is the same type of feel I was wanting to capture with my bridals.

Wedding Fitting Numero Dos

Today I had my second fitting for my wedding dress for my bridal portraits in 3 days. Last time I went for a fitting it had it to be taken in a little bit, and it was already tight then! I definitely know how antebellum women feel in those girdles! I can barely breath and the alteration lady wants it tighter still. Well of course I went in today and once again it is getting taken in, Ugh!

Also I decided to make a change in my dress. It is a strapless gown, but I really wanted sleeves after seeing Kate Middleton's and Ivanka Trump's wedding dresses. After long deliberation I have decided to contact Vera Wang for a lace and tulle addition to my gown. I am getting it so the fabric is just like Ivanka Trumps lace, but it will be open in the front with shorter cap sleeves.


Should I get a second dress for my reception? My wedding gown is really really big and I'm worried I will die of exhaustion from carrying it around for hours. I bought one today as a second wedding dress, but I am thinking of just using at my rehearsal dinner dress. Can't decide.

Better Late Than Never!

Yikes! I have been so busy with my new life down in Louisiana that I have completely forgotten about updating our blog. Not much has happened wedding wise; we've spent the past month hopping around between Dallas, Shreveport, New Orleans, and Mexico (vacationing and Will's work). We did receive my wedding ring and our engagement photos are up online. My bridal portraits are in less than two weeks and I'm spending most of my time stressing about whether or not I will fit into my wedding gown and if it will be raining

But, please enjoy nonetheless!
