sash!

My mom visited from Indiana this weekend and we were pretty productive: she bought me some honymoon lingerie from Bloomies, we looked at the wedding ring I wanted at Dior (!!!!), and she also brought me something she had sewn: my organza sash.

Since my dress is living at the seamstress's house, I can't really properly do a comparison, but I want to show it off anyway. Here it is on top of a camisole. So chic.

As you can see, there's enough fabric to make a practical bow and a super-sized bow. There's so much extra fabric, in fact, I can wrap my whole body in organza and still make a huge bow. So it's not quite a finished product.

I'll have to wait for my next fitting to try it on with the dress, but so far I'm encouraged. It just might be the one.

Do you have multiple accessories in the running for your wedding day outfit?

mom = naysayer

I just emailed my mom some PDFs of my invitation drafts, which included the ceremony card and reception card. She commented that our names were awfully large and she didn't know what "twirling and swirling to follow" meant.

Well. I take it quite personally whenever this lady criticizes me (huge character flaw, I get it). But when she dislikes my print design, holy moly.

If someone doesn't get twirling and swirling, they can look at the next card and realize there's a reception following the ceremony! And if someone is offended by 20 pt names, well, why would anyone be offended by 20 pt names?

Sure, I could just give in and print "reception to follow" and make our names teensy because they're too obnoxious or whatever. BUT I DON'T WANT TO.

I have this thing called a vision. Maybe it seems a little wacky to my parents, but I PROMISE once things are printed they would get it.

Old people.
