All About Shelby

Well, last week I left off about Breaking Dawn... YUP. Saw it. LOVED IT. I am lame. Whatever lol. Friday I went to my bestfriends house and we pretty much just played Sims, because that is what we love to do! =) Sims Seasons just came out and I must say it was fricken awesome. I love it!! Usually it is just summer all the time, but this is really so much fun! Saturday, I had work that was honestly the longest day of my life.... Then I went to my friends birthday party, which was Disney Themed!! =) I was sooo excited, I got to be Tinkerbell! It was so much fun, plus I just slept over and work was only about 4 minutes away...which was fabulous!!! I was looking at Wedding Favors and I saw the cutest idea! Mini Apple Pies!!!! ahhh! I thought it was actually so adorable and smart. The crust had little crust hearts all over it! They were made in tart tins. But honestly, who doesn't love pies. There were also, Jones bottles that were personalized with your name and picture on t...

So, throughout this whole whirlwind of wedding planning, I wanted to try and make our wedding fun and incorporate the fact that we are young. I think that is why I was so drawn to the idea about having all of the bridesmaids in different colour shoes! =) But I haven't decided if I want the girls to have the same flowers, just different colours. OR if they should all have completely different flowers as well as different colours. That is kind of confusing.....  Here are some pictures to kind of clarify what I do mean...  So this top one is what I mean when I say different colours but the same flowers. Which would probably be roses to match the centerpieces. Or Something like this where you can see the flowers match the shoes, but they are all different flowers as well... Hmm... I cannot decide. I guess that is why we have a consultation with a florist next Thursday. Because I want it to be unique but I also d...

Sorry!! I had a pretty busy weekend and then I had work and just wasn't on my game!!! On Saturday, my friend and my sister and I went to a Wedding Expo. It was in a smaller town so it wasn't as busy as the ones in the city. There were lots of different ideas and helpful booths for the wedding thats for sure. There were tons of photographers and they were all showing such wonderful pictures. The main thing I wanted to talk to someone about was flowers!!!! The worst part was, the lady who had the flower booth couldn't make it because of the weather =( Thankfully she emailed me back and we have an appointment to meet in a couple weeks. The other thing that I really loved, was a booth that did funny pictures. She would bring all of her props and camera and set up a little area to take silly pictures. I thought this was such a fabulous idea!!! Its different and much more affordable then a photo booth which is what I originally thought might be a good plan. Until I realized t...

I completely forgot to write yesterday! I was so busy with Halloween =) So, I introduced you to my wedding party.... Now, whats next. We are having the wedding and reception in kind of a neutral location, so that it is convenient for everyone! It is at a really pretty golf course, which I cannot wait to take pictures at!! A family member has offered to let us use her basement to get ready and everything which is wonderful and I am so thankful we will just be a few minutes  away!  The coolest thing we get to do with the bridal party is, they are all wearing black dresses, and they each have their own colour of shoes and then their flowers match! I am soo excited to do this. I really wanted to incorporate the fact that we are young and have fun with it! That is what I have used for inspiration. Except they are going to have all different flowers, and converse. For  example, the maids of honour are in red so they will have red ...

Where did I leave off..... Oh yeah!!! I am engaged to a wonderful, guy who is my best friend. He is so very sweet and romantic! Though anyone who knows him may not think soo!! Our  wedding date is set for September 21, 2013! Its actually come up soo quick and I am starting to get very excited! I got my dress in June and I kind of forget what it looks like!!!! It soo pretty and white though, I can't go into to much detail just in case "he" reads it! But,  I will share soon enough. =) I went dress shopping with my Maid of Honour this last Saturday looking for dresses for all of my bridesmaids. At the beginning, I actually thought that maybe we would have to do all different dresses, only because my bridesmaid, are all such different shapes and sizes it is wild! We started out the day and she tried on a few short ones (which is what i wanted originally), but i just kept getting pulled towards the long ones, quite surprisingly. We found  a couple of dresses, and ...
