I''m planning my Kentucky wedding from London (about 6,000 miles away!) and I''ve actually been able to tackle quite a lot in the month I''ve been engaged! I posted previously on this board that I was considering ordering the J Crew bridesmaids dresses in Liberty Blue -- well, I''ve decided to go for it! All of my bridesmaids have received their dresses, and the color is just lovely. I have 5 bridesmaids and a maid-of-honor. 4 went with the strapless (Sadie) style and the other 2 had selected Whitney (tank style) -- however, they didn''t think that style was particularly flattering, so now they''re ordering the Ella style, which has more of a spaghetti-strap look and a straighter skirt. We''re still 13 months away from the wedding, but I really wanted the Liberty Blue, and luckily my bridesmaids agreed to go ahead and get them! Phew
Also, this week I ordered my save-the-dates. Have you ever heard of Dauphine Press? They''re a CA company that does custom letterpress designs. We have designed our own save-the-dates using the "Floral Nouveau" theme; we''ll use that same theme for our wedding invitations next year. The sales associate there has been extremely helpful and I''m so excited - their designs are like artwork! We''ll be inviting 300-325 people, but I am so in love with Dauphine Press that I think it''s worth slightly blowing the invitation budget
Anyhow, just wanted to share!
