being wishy-washy about the clothing choices...

...So I have a bridesmaid's dress all picked out, but I was sitting reading a bridal magazine the other night (to which Nicole called me on the phone and yelled "Put the bridal magazine down!" and Lisa M. asked why I'd read a bridal magazine when I'm not like other brides anyways...) and started thinking that the dress I picked out for the girls is cute, but maybe not REALLY what I had in mind?  I don't know, I'm being wishy-washy, so I went online and found another one that had a more gathered wrap-style top as opposed to the more plain style top that the original choice has.  

So to ease my mind and make sure that I have explored all options, Lisa (Perez) Moline is going to go to the bridal shop with me on Monday (and if weather doesn't agree with her trip, Nicole has offered to come along as well!) to look at what's available and try on some options.  I think that would make me feel better.  We also need to choose a wrap or jacket for the dress as well, as an option for any of the girls who wish to do so.

I'm also excited because when I go I can order the shoes I picked out.  They're called "Royal" and I want to get them in ivory satin and have them dyed the same red as my dress.  Cool.  So some things I am pretty set on, and I'm not being wishy-washy about everything... just some.


We have some other cool things going on with the wedding, as far as ideas go.  We got our first order of custom guitar picks in, and we're looking into the possibility of utilizing candle light as an accent to the setting/decoration.  We'd love to get solid red novena candles (you know, the kind you can buy in the hispanic section of the grocery store - we also have a Dollar Buster store over by us on Harlem that has them in a wide variety) and use them as part of our centerpieces.  We're also shooting around some other favor ideas as well.  It all comes down to money, though, which isn't in plentiful amounts!

Also, we're in the brainstorming/designing process of our wedding rings, too, which is fun.  I have some cool ideas I won't share just yet.
