lucky bridesmaids

dang, my bridesmaids are lucky that i bought their dresses already... or else these dresses would have probably been my top choices (thanks to rosa and raina for their brilliance).

see how happy these models look! that could be you, edevers, jpark, cmin, gkitani!!!

the red, white and blue...

I'm surprised to say -- but there are some really charming red-white-and-blue-ish weddings out there!

So like everyone else, I love Snippet & Ink... I love how it is purely about inspiration boards. Not about specific details about one bride's particular bent on her wedding (like kitanji!), but a general gist of a wedding! She gives out titles that range from witty to whimsical [the titles below aren't from S&I -- I forget what they were but they were probably better!]. It's really what the details are supposed to blur into... a sort of FEEL about a wedding -- and she captures it for free with these digital collages. Cheers to you, Snippet & Ink! Here are some of S&I's best red-white-and-blue-ish boards...

Hair today, gone tomorrow...

Ah, the Christmas season and New Year's seems to have just flown by... And the wedding/summer of change continues to march towards me. But with the help of one of my top bridesmaids, I've decided to stop worrying so much and trust God with my future. He keeps saying to trust Him and all, so I figure I'll just give in. Yay.

Concrete planning things are really so much easier and that's what this blog is actually about!! Frivolities!!! Yippee! So on that note, I present to you my ideas of hair... (most of these photos from Brides.com)

Sometimes I just wish I were a beautiful black woman...


I like bangs...


I typically wear a bobby pin to sweep my bangs away, so adding a little something like that seems very appropo...


The expression here -- a little scary -- and the general messiness is a little scary too... but sometimes I just have to relinquish control...



It's interesting but I wonder if it's a little too severe...


And I think for my bridesmaids, maybe half-up and half-down? Inspired by Julie's everyday style... I'm also thinking about just having the girls go with their own shoes... although I think cute matching shoes would be so photorrific!
