A Dapper Gentleman

Is it bad luck to see the groom in his tux before the wedding? I sure hope not, because you can bet I wanted to be there to see my dear fiance try on tuxedos. In addition to helping him pick the right one for our (my) vision, it's always fun to see him get dressed to the nines.

Basically what I was hoping for was a blue tuxedo--navy blue classy. Something that would match our color scheme and make him stand out a bit from the crowd and the rest of his groomsmen. He likes blue, and the navy display tuxes were on point, so he didn't object to trying on a few different styles in that color: one with a necktie, one with a bow tie and tuxedo jacket, and one with a suit jacket.






I can't tell you which one we picked because even we haven't decided yet (I have my leanings, and he probably has a favorite that he's not telling me so I can choose unbiased, but nothing has been ordered).

While I haven't officially finalized my bridesmaid dresses either, it is nice to get the first groom's tux fitting underway, and have a set idea for his groomsmen as well. I can just imagine a matching ring bearer tuxedo too! Ah yes, this part is fun!

Mani-Pedi Ready

The wedding is officially SEVEN days away. That means that in one week (give or take a few hours), I will be a "Mrs." Exciting! Scary! Both! But in order to keep the big day from being too scary, I just have to make sure I'm prepared. That means perfecting our first dance choreography ( see next post ) and taking care of any final items that need to be done before the wedding. That means finishing the favors, printing the programs, and nailing my wedding-day nails look. I wish I could take credit for my new French tips, but I don't know the first thing about nail polish. My fiance's mom treated me to a mani-pedi (the second one I've ever had in my life and my first one with gels!) at The Nail Shoppe LV in town. I'm ready for ring shots!

Say Yes to the Dress!

Of course I chose my wedding dress months ago. I had to, considering how long they typically take to come in. I wanted to plan a wedding in six months. That's apparently "last minute" in the wedding dress industry. I'm not even kidding--most wedding books and websites recommend purchasing the gown "nine months or earlier." As luck would have it, I received a call yesterday that my dress, ordered June 29 (just 17 days after I got engaged) had arrived! That still gives me two and a half months to get it fitted and finalized. The road to get here was a fun one (yay, playing dress up!), but certainly not an easy path. I think I may have even dodged a train wreck along the way: It started out with my initial dress shopping. Almost immediately after I got engaged in June I started visiting the local bridal shops I knew (Alfred Angelo and David's Bridal ) to schedule an appointment for trying on dresses. After waiting five years to get engaged, you ca...

Wedding Videos Part 2

Official video is here ! Well, the 5-minute trailer of our wedding day, which highlights quotes from speeches, big moments (The bouquet! The garter! The cake cutting!), all the wedding party, and lots of dancing. Especially the first dance--I am so happy to have so much of our choreographed first dance captured on film! The full video will be coming later, but this is the part I've really been waiting three months for: a cinema-style film that captures the essence of the day and can be easily viewed and shared online. This is the reason I chose  Lighten Films as my videographer. After seeing what they could do for my sister-in-law's wedding , I had to have them for mine. So now, feel free to enjoy the end result of all the planning, all the friends and family coming together, and a perfect, beautiful highlight of our big wedding day: Stephanie + Jayson \\ Highlight Reel from Lighten Films - 702.266.6226 on Vimeo .
