Wedding Pretties.

July 20th, 2010 at 12:06 pm. Posted in Just Rachel.

So my wedding is in 88 DAYS (!!!!!) and we leave for Jamaica in 85 days.  We’re getting close to crunch time and i’m feeling the stress more than ever.  So, what’s a girl to do when she’s stressed out?  SHOP!  Here’s a rundown of some adorable, fabulous, wedding related goodies i’ve purchased in the past week:

I purchased the white one, and I have no idea where i’m going to wear it, but it was too cute not to have.  I already have “getting ready” tank tops that you’ll see in another post, so maybe the morning before the wedding getting ready for the rehearsal?  Hmmm.  It’s from Victorias Secret.

I also purchased the requisite terry cloth pants and hoodie, for getting ready, in white.  This is also from Victorias Secret (you know, in case you weren’t able to tell from the model.

Guys, I have been coveting this necklace since long before I was ever even engaged.  It’s perfection in every way.  I love that it’s an adorable little spin on the classic pearl necklace without being too over the top.  I finally bit the bullet the other day and ordered one because I’m convinced that nothing else will ever measure up.  Sigh.  It’s so pretty.  It’s from VirginiaGeigerJewels.

Perfection, right?  This headband is from my heaven on earth, Anthropologie and I can’t wait to get my grubby little hands on it.  I see a lot of repeat wear on this baby.  I plan on wearing my hair down for the ceremony, but I felt like I’d need just a little sparkle since my dress is so plain.  It’s perfect, not too over the top and will be just what I need to keep my beach wavy hair out of my face when I walk down the aisle to the love of my life.

For the reception I want to pull my hair into a side ponytail and I’m going to put this clip just above it.  Let me just tell you, if you have a serious love for hair flowers like I do, LilyLadyBlue is the place to go get them!   I swear, you can’t tell this flower is fake!  It looks and feels so real, I was completely blown away by this pretty little thing when it arrived in the mail last week.  It’s spectacular.  I even cheated and wore it out on date night last night.  I put my hair in a low side bun and pinned it in, you would not believe the compliments that I got!

This about rounds out my frivolous wedding purchases, ha!  What is something you plan on purchasing for your wedding that you could maybe do without?  What’s something that you don’t really NEED but you might die if you don’t have?  Am I the only one that gives in and buys all of this crap?

All of this stuff is amazing and so very YOU. Sadly, I just mailed you my “declines with extreme and painful and horrifying tearful regret” card :(

For my brother’s wedding we all got airbrushed shirts the brides said “bride, b/c i got to him first” the moh’s said “Maid of Honor, b/c I’m hotter than you” and the brides sisters got “bridesmaid, b/c i’m her sister” adn my sis and i got “bridesmaid, b/c i’m his sister”

for my wedding we’re also getting shirts mine will say “Bride” and my bridesmaids will say “Back up dancer” I grew up dancing and all but my sis and his sis danced together so instead of being called my brides maids they call them selves my backup dancers.

(sorry for the long comment) Congrats and good luck for the wedding!

I entered a comment on my phone, and it looks like it might not have gone through correctly. Anyway, I just bought this exact headband from Anthropologie last week. It’s perfect!

Oh my goodness! All that stuff is so beautiful! Especially the necklace. I stumbled on your blog. I’m new to blogging, and am just trying to meet other bloggers. I just got married last month (June 26th). I’ll be honest, I’m glad all the stress is over! It looks like your day will be perfect though! I wish you the best, and will come back to see how things are going!

I want that headband. The necklace is beautiful too. I went a little nuts with things for the wedding, but I don’t think there was anything that I HAD to have once I got The Dress.
