1 Year and Counting!!

Holy cow!! Just one year left until the wedding!! May seem far away to normal, non-brides, but for those of us living on Planet Wedding...it's crunch time! Trying on dresses on Thursday (yikes!). Bringing Echelle along for moral support! We shall see how this goes!

Hotel ZaZa Bridal Show

Thursday the 14th, Stacy, Corny, and I went to the bridal soiree at the Hotel Zaza. After a little direction debacle, we got to the show and were immediately wowed by the beautiful hotel!

I LOVE chandeliers!

We walked through, saw the displays, chowed down on some GOOD food!




Then...maybe one of us had too many cocktails! I will cut poor Loubner some slack, that door was REALLY clean! Hope your face is okay! :)


It was an amazing show. After we looked over all the vendor displays, we got to go upstairs to the pool area where we could enjoy even more good food, champagne, a dessert bar, and listen to a dj! It was great!

Lord, give me strength!

So I am already concerned about the dress my mother will be wearing to my wedding. *Just to recap: It's a long black, satin gown, with a dramatic ruffle collar, a VERY open back with a sheer mesh and crystals on it, and a slit up to her hoo hoo!* Don't get me wrong, it's a stunning dress but....the hoo hoo slit and the fact we will be in a church now, yeah not so much. AND it should be all about me (honestly) and no one will be able to look past her dress.

Anyway, my latest concern...
Exhibit A

O M G
Yes, that is Meme. And yes, that IS the same dress she wore to Aunt Diane's wedding back in the 70's!! I'm all about vintage and nostalgia but this is just overboard. My mom seriously believes this has come back into style. When did my damn family get so cheap they can't go out and get a new dress.
Imagine my wedding, the family being escorted down the aisle...You've got groovy grandma rocking the mauve and MOB with the hoo hoo slit! Oh, Lord, give me strength!!!
