M.A.C. Bridal Luciana

Wedding Cake

One of the first things about our wedding that we decided on was that we were going to have Buffy and Angel cake topper (from Buffy's prom episode). There was never any chance that we would have a *traditional* bride and groom topper. Very much not us!

The one thing that wasn't perfect was the colour of Buffy's dress. It was kind of a soft baby pink that just didn't go with anything else in our wedding. So......

I painted it red! yeah!!
(yeah... I still have to paint her shoes... I didn't want to paint them until I was sure I wouldn't be wearing my dream shoes.... WHICH I AM!!)

James had the idea to make a graveyard cake for the lovely couple to stand it. The idea was that we would put "Kathleen + James. Love is eternal" on the tombstone (or something similar). Well.... I have not been in love with this idea. Especially since James wanted to make it himself. I'm all for kitch but I just didn't want it in this instance. It was the one thing James seemed really excited about for our wedding so I figured, what the hey.

Then along comes James' mum (wondeful woman that she is) who offered to pay to get our cake made. This made James reconsider the "diy" approach that he was going for. He said since we're getting it made professionally we might as well get a "real" one. Yeah!! So I win and I didn't even have to fight for it. Below is my Cake Inspiration Board (because I make an Inspiration Board for absolutely everything)

I love Madhatter Cakes!!!!

I got my dream shoes

I am officially the happiest girl in the world. Not only am I marrying my dream man..... BUT I FOUND A PAIR OF MY DREAM WEDDING SHOES!!

This would be reason 1000000000...... why I love Offbeat Bride. I put up a couple posts about how I wanted to find these shoes (Betsey Johnson Merri fyi) and how they are sold out EVERYWHERE. I had everyone looking for them. My fabulous H2B even started a Facebook group dedicated to helping me find them. I put up another post the other day on OBB and one of the girls found them on Ebay.

Now I just have to actually get around to going to the doctor to see if my foot is broken and if there's anything I can do about it. xo

New Dress PIx

I went to try on my dress a couple days ago to get fitted for the bustle (which I'm really excited about) and I have to say that this is the prettiest I have ever felt. I feel like a princess or a model and I am so excited for James to see me in my dress. It is killing me that he won't let me show him the pix but I'm mostly really excited for the "BIG REVEAL" when he sees me for the first time. I think it will be really magical. I can't wait to see him on our wedding day all dressed up in his suit ready to get married to me.

That is my beautiful Maid of Honor, Heather, in the reflection. She has been so much help to me in my wedding planning.

This is more or less what the bustle will look like. But a bit more even :)

I need to trim the ribbon but I just love my shoes and the laces!

New Shoes

I hit my foot ridiculously hard the other day on my bed and I think I might have broken a small bone. It hurts LOTS and I haven't been able to wear high heels at all. So.... seeing as how my wedding is in 2 1/2 months I need a back up plan for shoes. I went to Michael's and got a bunch of red glitter and glue and went crazy on a pair of my Mary Jane's. End result.... I LOVE THEM!!!
