I thought I had a handle on all the wedding planning and then we got to the one month mark. Suddenly all kinds of new details were creeping up and we had more decisions to make. I’m almost to the point, scratch that, I am to the point where if I have to make one more decision I will lose my mind.

BHLDN has been my savior for the last minute touches. I keep remembering something I’ve forgotten and gone to the site to purchase it. The last thing was a card holder – I found this one and love it. After the wedding I can use it as a jewelry box. Win win!

I’ve always loved wearing a crisp white dress all year round but now that I’m engaged I have even more reason to. This one with it’s feminine lace details is the perfect dress for all these fun occasions like the engagement party, engagement pictures, showers or even the rehearsal dinner. I plan on adding a few more white dresses and other pieces to my collection as I get further in the planning process.

Ok, I swear I’m not crazy and already picking out my Bridesmaid’s dresses, but it doesn’t hurt to look around, right? These days there are so many options for bridesmaids from the same dress in different colors, to the same color and different dresses. At the end you just want to find something your friends will love and hopefully will want to wear again… if that’s even possible. I’m really loving the collections from BHLDN and J. Crew, here are my first (I’m sure of many) round of favorites. continue reading
