Meghan has spoken...

Meghan has also had a chance to review the gallery. Here are her favorites:

1. This dress is actually one i posted today after hearing some of the comments on the others, This dress (from davids bridal) is a modified version of what Sandra had chosen, I has nice straps in a contrasting finish high waist and this is another good drape fabric.

2. Meghan likes this white dress (yay! a second for this style) who can say no to ethereal chiffon in a great cascading style.

She has a concern (but only until she tries it on) about the pick-up skirt. The skirt may make make you feel or seem bigger when you wear it. But hey we can try it and see!

P.S. Meghan LOVES the grey idea!

Thanks Sandra!

Sandra made some great comments on all of the dresses. I took out the top three that she really liked. You can see her comments and check them to the gallery page and see a picture with the words. So without further a do...

1. Sandra Dug this dress, simple a-line sleeve-less style in a nice relaxed fabric (which drapes nicely)

2. Sandra liked this dress mostly because of the chiffon, (one of my favorite materials... so light and flows nicely as your walk.) This dress is good cause it has a nice neckline and a good high waist style.

3. This dress was in fact in "Platinum Weddings" i have always been a fan of the pick-up skirt. But i agree with the strapless top could use something more. I will post another dress with straps similar so we can see it.

The last pic is of the concept. I LOVED the use of yellow in this picture and the use of "lamps" as a centerpiece. I have told art that it would look really nice with the column filled with water and a branch of yellow cymbidium orchids...

Thanks again Sandra for your comments!

Yay! We have out first set of comments!

Thank you Marcy for giving your top two dresses you liked and making a comment on the invites as well. Marcy really like the pick-up dress and also noticed that both are either spaghetti strapped or strapless. One of my favorite things is how the pick up dresses are opposite colors of the accent sash.

Greek-Style Quinoa Burgers

Quinoa (keen-wa) a is a favorite thing of mine just because it cooks like rice but has so much protein and is so much better for you! Art make the best Teriyaki shrimp bowls over quinoa that we have served to our friends and have had good reviews. This recipe from "Body + Soul" sounds so yummy that we will have to try this soon.

Out Sick Today

I have been fighting this cold for about a week now. Today is the day that i have to see a doctor (yay!) So we will se what i get out of it... Maybe a nifty anti-biotic! So i do have a life lesson that l went through last night... I had an earache and had to find a way to get me through the night without going to the emergency room. So out came the research! I found 2 things that really worked well:

1. This one is weird but it helps a lot. Take a clean sock and fill it up with salt (i used coarse sea salt) and throw it into the microwave (no more than 30 seconds at a time, trust me) and place it up to your ear. I lied on my side and waited for it to cool down. Repeat till you start to hear a gurgling sound in your ear. This helps to dry out the ear canal and the heat helps with the ache.

2. Use "Similasan Earache Relief" homeopathic drops.  Art was so nice to go out and get me some ear drops. I had an idea of what i wanted but since Whole Foods is far i sent him to the local drugstore. He came back with exactly what i would of gotten from Whole Foods (See thats why i am marrying him!). They are really good, they will feel weird and may sting a little but in an hour or so... RELIEF.

I am still going to the doctor to follow up so we will see what happens!

Nifty Spiffy Look...

So a co-worker friend of mine showed me this outfit from Banana Republic and mentioned that it is so me. What do you think? I think i will try this one on with Meghan when we see each other on Saturday!

So i guess i lied and said you can comment on which dresses and things you might like. Send an email to me and i will post results, include the file name and i will take care of the rest.

New Glasses

I finally ditched my frame-less glasses and bought a new pair of plastic lenses. We went to Positive Eye Ons on Melrose and had a wonderful guy help us choose the right frames. After about an hour both myself and Art Found our new glasses. Art opted for a really nice 2-tone frame that look amazing on him. I opted for a pair of glasses form England, Hand made with a great gray colored frame and a nice reverse.

Time to get going on this blog...

So it seems like almost a year since my last post. Now its time to get into the nitty gritty of the wedding planning. Like most couples we have been struggling with our colors. We finally decided on a pallet!

So in the coming days the new ideas and inspiration will be coming up for our big day!

BTW the day is SET. 11.21.2009
