Updates For the Wedding Week

We have sent all of our last minute info to the vendors, I had no idea it would  be so hard to pick music. Then, I realized most of the traditional music just isn't our style. So I googled the shit outta that and found a bunch of stuff that I think we'll like better. Don't worry, I'll let you know what all we picked when I get the pictures. What songs do you all love?

Does anyone have any must have photograph ideas? You know what I'm talking about, the photos you took that are your all time fave? I know that I saw Morgan's post completely dedicated to her wedding shoes and I knew that I needed photos of my shoes. I hadn't even thought of that. Then, I realized my shoes are sexy as F and need to be immortalized. Granted, they aren't any red bottoms, but still.

I am still debating as to what my hashtag should be. I know call me a douche lord again. But, I want to be able to just click and see all my friends pictures. Any ideas? MrandMrsChauvin is an easy one. I've been using FutureMrsChauvin on all my pre wedding stuff so it would go, but MrandMrs seems too plain. I know a plain hashtag #firstworldproblems. I got all the time in the world to figure it out. And by all the time, I mean until Saturday by 2 when I start hair and makeup.

What all do you look for in a fun wedding?

Wedding Wednesday What I Won't Do's

And in the age of the 72 day marriage. I am honoring Miss NeNe Leakes on lasting more than 10 years, making a bunch of money, getting divorced, and then marrying the same man. Love it!

Three things I do not need to do at my wedding (trust I am not hating if you do these):

1. I will not be wearing more than one dress. I just am too cheap for that shit.
2. I will not force my guests to change clothes (here's looking at you Adriana of RHOM).
3. I will not run hours late (again, looking at Adriana of RHOM). Be on time, people will be getting hungry and let's be real, people are just there for the food anyways!

What things wwould you not do? What things shoudl I not do? Let me know so I don't mess up!

Arms as Decoration? Really?

So for Wedding Wednesday I am going to let you in on a shopping trip my Ma and I recently took. We went over to a friends home to look at all of her antiques. If you want it, she's got it. I plan to take some shit off her bathroom counter to use a centerpieces. Budget friendly wedding decs! While I didn't take photos of her house, I did take some pretty glorious photos of shopping at some antique stores.

 I'm thinking of using her as my photo double. No arm fat and no sweat stains all night! Her makeup will also last all night, while mine while sweat off in 5 minutes. Perfect body double.

 I love rummaging around stores, but some of them were stanky! the stuff smelled as if someone's granny had died while wearing some of the clothes. Not a good smell.

 There were lots of knick knacks to sort through. We found some pretty napkins and doilies to use under the table centerpieces.

 This had to be one of my favorite things. I look over and there is a f-ing arm poked out. Not a normal arm, but a creepy arm that is just hanging there, poking out like it wants to touch you. Who does that?!

I wanted to put this up on the street were the smokers will have to stand. I smoke for taste. I mean why else would you smoke?

If anyone knows of any good thrift or antiques stores in the Kansas City area let me know! Help a girl out!

Wedding Wednesday

In terms of wedding planning, we truly haven't started too hardcore yet. Our wedding date is July 19th, 2014, so we've got some time. I say that now, but truly it will come up quick. We aren't having a separate wedding and reception, rather we are hosting a big, fun party to celebrate our love :) The venue is a historic ballroom in Westport located in KC, MO. It's gonna be fun times!

For decorations the theme is Beautifully Junktastic, or my mother has been calling it Shabby Chic. I really, really love the color purple, but the Mister says we can't have everything aaaalllll purple. WTF?! This is my day. So we compromised, dusty purple and mint with gray/silver are our colors.  Oh, and we have a birdcage for our cards. It totally fits with our Beautifully Junktastic theme!

Closest colors I could find to what I like (thank you Sherwin Williams)

Did you guys do anything that was absolutely fabulous? I would love to hear about it!
