So Much Drama in the CAC.....

Where did the time go? I remember last year when i was begining all my planning everyone said your starting too early, everything happens in the end 3 months. So True! However I am happy I started so early and secured the most important things. My dress:We got official engaged mid May and I had my dress by the end of May :) I got a super fab deal and an even more FAB dress.The Church: We got the date we wanted, the time we wanted, and our son was baptized there. The Hall: Not neccessarily our dream spot but it allowed us to keep cost down and will really stretch my creative muscles :D.
So now to the DRAMA.........which i'll admit is not really that dramatic. Lol but im a dramatic person so its all drama to me :( So my mom found a amazing dress but it takes 12 weeks to make and what we have 10 weeks before the wedding! why>! what to do? so now that plan is to go to LA Fashion District which is cool becuase I wanted to look for Flowergirl Dresses and possibly jewelry. I know we will find something great and priced well so I think it will all work out. The other option is to go to Davids Bridal becasue she like this two peice one shoulder thing ,I liked it too but she needs to order it today or tomorrow to get it in time for the wedding and be able to do alterations because shes a shorty lol. Last options THE MALL. Most likely Topanga ...my fav fav mall. Either way Im not stressed but it is a little drama which is fine in an otherwise surprisingly well planned organized wedding...lol which is subject to change heading into the final weeks :D love it all though!

the veil.........

Who would have thought that picking the veil would actually be difficult! I thought it would be cake lol so not the case!!! Camarillo Bridal closed @ 8 and we left at like 8:45 (Thanks Marissa xoxo) I did make a final decision but it was tough! There are a ton of different sizes and styles! Since my dress is ivory with pewter beading it was hard to get an exact match.... I think I tried on like 20 different veils! I walked in thinking i knew what I wanted and half of it stayed the same ( still def want a big white flower in my hair) but i was kind of thinking I wanted a cathedral style super long veil but after trying one on I realized it took away from the dress! The one I fell in love with hit at the hips in the perfect spot and was a cascading shape…the round shape wasn’t doing it for me! The cascade shape is gorgeous! It is embellished with beading ... Not too much as to take away from the dress but just enough to give it that wow factor!!! The best part of the whole thing was the fact that I got to put on my dress!!! *sigh ....I wish I could try it on everyday lol! I was so happy to be in it!! I love it more and more each time I see it! I’m so glad I put it because I actually had a huge epiphany while wearing it! I originally wanted to change it to a sweetheart neckline but after putting it one with the straps held in place ... Omg it looks so amazing and classic and delicate and romantic just the way it is!!! I’m so excited I decided against the sweetheart neckline because it is so played out! Plus the shape of the dress is va va voom as it is ... The dainty straps add class to it :) I love it and I can’t wait for Luis to see me in it

6 Months and counting...................
