Wedding Wardrobe

I may or may not be driving my family and friends crazy with my rehearsal dinner dress. I promise I was very un-picky when I found my wedding dress. For some reason, I  have been underwhelmed by the selection of short white dresses among many of the department stores and designers. It's actually made me feel the way Tory Burch did years ago  - the industry is missing, to me, a type of consumer. One who wants a simple, timeless but feminine cut, without all the lace, eyelet and bows I have been seeing.

I stumbled upon this little gem from Warren on King, one of my favorite shops in downtown Charleston. 

I think this may be the closest to what I have envisioned.

Thoughts?

Gorgeous Gifts

I haven't been so good about sharing all the beautiful things our family and friends have generously purchased for our engagement and wedding. With our nuptials a few short weeks away, I am getting very excited for the big day!

My sweet Aunt Sheila and Uncle Steve sent us some beautiful entertainment pieces off our registry. I am excited to use them for a Bridemaids brunch my mom is hosting on Friday morning.

Looking forward to the big day!

Saturday Errands

Sorry for the blogging hiatus - it's been so busy with end of quater at work, wedding planning and home improvement projects.

With Khaner away in Vegas for his bachelor party, I was left to accomplish a few necessary errands I had been putting off.

I love framing different invitations and announcements from various milestones and chapters in my life. I always think in a few decades I will be able to fondly look back on the festivities and exciting times we've shared.

For anyone in Raleigh, there is a fantastic and affordable framing shop at the Flea Market, open all year called Kidd's. It's literally a mom with two of her daughters who frame on the spot, with lots of matting options and frame choices.

I also decided purchasing our first home was just as exciting as getting married, so I also opted for our moving announcement to be framed, as well.

Most people who know me can tell I have a bit of an obsession with bedding, specifically shams and Euro shams. Khaner doesn't particularly care for browsing furniture and consignment stores, so with my Saturday on my own, I stopped in Junior League's local Bargain Box store, and found these gorgeous Euro shams for the steal of the century. I am talking, the chick fil-a meal I picked up for lunch was almost the same price.

Thoughts? I loved the turquoise and mustard and beautiful fringe. For what I paid, even if I tire of them in a year, who cares, right?!

Khaner and I are getting built-ins made for the den, so we can finally put books, picture frames, away! Stay tuned :)
