IT WAS MEANT TO BE!!!! >pictures!< Long Entry.
Ah hhhh girlsssss!!! I'm sooooo freakin' excited!!!
TWO wonderful checks!
First:
The flowergirl dresses I wanted, was in love with them, but midway between planning I changed my light green and purple to darker green and eggplant...the original flower girl dresses were ivory with light purple sash, and green and purple petals at the bottom. SO CUTE. So I measured all 3 of my neices, went back to Estelles...and they were gone :( They only had one dress there! The last time I went they had like 30. :(
Sooo I kept looking around and my heart STOPPED when I saw these beautiful little dresses!! They are in ivory, with an EGGPLANT sash, the bottom has like a cut out, and sparkly, like part of my dress :)
Second!
AHH since I have 11 girls, I really wanted to make sure I gave them nice gifts. I put together a little bag as the motnhs went on with what I want to get them..
-------------------
BM GIFTS:
If you remember my dilema with the silk robe thing, yeah, I don't think I'm going to do that anymroe, they were just TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE. I was stressing myself WAY too much about them. Anyway, So I decided on:
Victoria's Secret Perfume (Secret Crush)
-story: (see, I'm alllll about the symbolism LOL) I went to Tanger with my FSIL trying to find the damn robes at VS, instead we saw 5 perfumes for 20 bucks. I figured, hey whats 40 bucks for 11 bottles of perfume, one bottle can cost 40! So I got them. And they are called secret crush, my FSIL, who is 14 was like 'ohhhh! and you had a secret crush on James when you were little!!' Perfecto. Then I was like OH MY GOD Secret Crush = SC = Sarah Clancy!!!!!! Meant to be, get it! I'm also going to put a little note saying 'Do not wear until the Wedding, and everytime you put this on, you'll remember our special day!' or something liek that. (saw this on another site - so cute!)
Avon Lipgloss:
-One of hte teachers at my school sells avon, and they had a sale on mini lipglosses for $1 each. Had to do it.
DIY Jewelry:
-I wanted to make something more intimate and special, so I got swvarski crystals (teardrop) and made them a simple amethyst necklace and eaarings to match. I made green for my sister, who's my MOH, and hers is a little bigger than the bm's.
Flowers:
-Most of you know, I'm doing my own flowers for my wedding (realtouch flowers = AMAZING) So With my bm's flowers I have a poem that makes me cry everytime I read it, which will go with the flowers when I give it to them the morning of.
::pictures coming when they are done!::
Old Navy Flip Flops:
-Haven't gotten them yet, but I'm looking for DARK purple...my sister has a pair from 2 years ago, but the purples this year suck. :( Hopefully I'll find them this year!
the ones they have:
the ones i need!
Personal Photo Albums:
Since everyone in my life knows I'm obsessed with taking and being in pictures, I am making an online book for each of my bridesmaids from shuterfly (having a sale! 11 bucks a book!) So I have time to work on those!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
I was searching for clutches for the girls bc I just wanted one more thing to give them, and I searched clutch bag on ebay.One of the first ones that come up was an Estee Lauder EGGPLANT purple clutch with this oh so cute tie on it. I was like OH MY GOD I need these!! And girls, I cannot even tell you HOW FREAKIN HAPPY I was when I saw that they had
ELEVEN LEFT
ELEVEN!!!!!!!!
that's EXACTLY how many I needed!!!!!!! so Of course, I bougth them. And they were only $12 each. =D I can't even tell you how happy I am!!
I think they match the bm dress pleats perfectly!
