5.5 months to go!

 Actually, more like 162 days to be exact ...

Wedding plans are well underway ...  this month's to do list:
  • check out limo companies
  • decide on centerpieces
    • hurricane lamps & candles
    • vases filled with fruits?  preferably apples to go with our red theme
  • go to our 1st Pre-Cana Session
  • decide on tuxes
Last month, my bridesmaids & I got together and finally picked out a dress.  Ironically it was a new style that I noticed on our trip there (so of course, I had to add it to my list of 5 other dresses ... I'm such a pain ... lol)



I just love this dress!  It's Bill Levkoff Style 453.  We ordered it in European Red (like a ruby red) with the sash in European Champagne (a slightly lighter taupe than the sash in the picture).  I want one too! haha The sample dress was in black & taupe ~ it just looked stunning on everyone.

Three of the bridesmaids are my closest friends from HS and the other two are my sorority sisters.  It was great for them to all meet up and get to know each other.   We just all hung out for hours after our lil shopping excursion.

Jim & I are psyched for our honeymoon in Riviera Maya at "El Dorado Royale".  Located just 20 minutes south of Cancun, it's an all-inclusive SPA resort.


Next post, will probably be sooner, especially in regards to a Valentine's Day Surprise  As well as my hair style & make-up inspiration-pics.

Wow!  We have similar tastes--I almost went with hurricane globe with a candle or fruit for the centerpieces.  And my first choice for honeymoon was Riveria Maya, but my FI really wanted to go to St. Lucia.  And that Bill Levkoff dress was my first choice for my bridesmaids, but when they got together at David's Bridal, they found one that flattered everyone, so they didn't even want to keep looking.  So, I let them have their way... Go figure... hahah.
