The China







I am so lucky to have been given my Grandmother's Mother's Bavarian china (I guess that makes it my great grandmother's lol). I am even luckier that it looks like something that I would have picked out on my own! Thank you Mom for hanging on to it! The china has such a sweet and pretty floral pattern. It will be fun and meaningful to use in the future!

Wedding Cake Toppers











Etsy has so many wonderful wedding cake topper designers. I wonder which one we'll decide to use for our wedding cake. "Je t'aime", French for I love you, is appropriate for my love of French (and for our wedding being on Bastille day)! We both have a thing for lions too, so the lions are super cute. And of course, I love the traditional "realistic" looking toppers. Here are some cool ideas I came across.

Ball Gown vs. V-neck and Lace




Yesterday was the first time Mom and I went dress shopping... It seems that I gravitated more towards these types of styles.....
These gowns definitely make the statement "I'm the bride!"
So maybe v-neck, lace and form-fitting is out of the picture? We'll find out soon!
Which one is your favorite?

Love these dresses...






Notice the trend? Lace and V-neck style! I love these dresses by Jim Hjelm, Wtoo, and Allure.

Les fleurs




Love these arrangements... the color, flowers, everything! I'd love to incorporate some of the Ball Jar flower arrangements for the reception.

Color Palette

The color palette... Orange and Violet... Je l'adore!!!!
