Bridesmaids & Groomsmen Outfits

So when thinking of what kind of dresses to have the girls wear and what kind of suits to have the guys wear, I thought why not have all the girls wear different style dresses but the same color, and the men wear either Gray or Beige.

Some of these photo's had helped me really make a decision on that being what I wanted to do.

We searched, some of the girls had a harder time finding a dress considering I lived so far from them that picture messages didn't do justice, but at the end of the day, it all came out BEAUTIFUL and went together. Im happy with the decision that I made. And to make my Maid Of Honors stand out even more I had them wear an accent color of red. It was awesome!

His & Her's Wedding Bands

 Till Death Do Us Part

Why do men have it so easy!? We went to look for his wedding band because we were in the area, and he found his right away! I wish it was that fast for me to find my band. Lucky goose!

He thought he was a professional looking at diamonds.. ;)

Cant forget the fact that 2 days after we got married, his ring fell off in the ocean! GENTLEMEN, make sure your ring fits you snug!

The Dress

 Having to find a wedding gown was really emotional for me. I had gone a few times because I just couldn't find THE ONE. I was excited to go with my mom, sisters, and maid of honor but the search had to continue on. We went to about 4 different bridal shops and not one dress gave me that warm feeling in my heart. I got upset and very quiet which made me wonder if maybe I was being way to picky or maybe I just really didn't find "the one". 

Then finally I went to a Bridal Store called La Soie Bridal. It was a random woke up one morning and my best friend called me and said "hey! lets go look at this store just to look" so I was up for it! We went and I seriously fell in LOVE with the first dress I tried on. It was exactly what I had thought I can see myself in. Lace, mermaid, thin material, strapless, just beautiful. But the problem was the price. I didn't want to spend more then $500 on a dress, and this dress was over $1,700. Made me really sad. But, I was happy to have found something that I wanted! So I knew I needed to find that dress, but a knock off cheaper version of it.... That wasn't so easy.

After all this fuss, buying a cheaper ugly dress and settling, and not being able to sleep (yes, not being able to sleep because of a wedding dress), I decided to just do it, and buy the dress of my dreams. So I did. And I worked hard for it thats for sure!

Vegas Vegas Vegas

Why is it that when people think of Vegas, they think of getting wild and waisted and not caring about anything but having fun? Well, maybe because it's true, and Vegas is definitely a crazy amazing place. But when you go for a whole 8 days, don't forget to rest and sleep for one full day to really get back into the game. Us girls unfortunately, didn't rest and we got extremely emergency room sick... So, I don't recommend doing that.. Haha!
But this was definitely a Vegas trip I will never forgot. It became our home. And Cesar's Palace is our Vegas Home<3

Finding the Perfect Venue

Having to find our venue was probably one of the easiest things we did. We had no idea where to begin. People had been telling us to not pick a date, and just find a venue first, and depending on there availability, we would have a date. To be completely honest with you all, I didn't want to let some place choose the wedding date for us, I wanted to have a date that meant something to us, an "important" date, a date that was fun to say I suppose. So we made a list of places to go look at. Mostly barns, and outdoor settings since I had envisioned a "country/rustic themed wedding".  Finally tired of going to 15 plus places in one day, Chris decided to look at this one last place, (which I personally was not having it and wanted to eat and sleep). So we went anyway, last minute, while they were closed and the wonderful wedding coordinator met us for a last minute view of the place. WE FELL IN LOVE. We both had the biggest smile on our faces we wanted to give her our information on the spot! I'm pretty sure she knew it too! But my Fiancé (at the time) gave me a look like "shhh, don't say anything yet!" We got the info on the place, everything was included: linens, food, bartenders, DJ, utensils, cake, flowers, a pianist to play during the dinner, and even a horse carriage for me to ride down to the ceremony and for everyones use if they wanted to ride also! I mean how much easier can that be! That knocked out a whole lot of meetings and finding the perfect vendors for our wedding! It was awesome! All I wanted was a view of something beautiful during the ceremony, and I got that, plus more! DEFINITELY recommend Serendipity Gardens in Oak Glen. California.
