Wedding Haven''s Wedding Thread

[Harleigh]

Very pretty, Haven! I hope they work out for you...be sure to take pictures at your fitting!

 

[Haven]

I hope you don''t mind that I keep resurrecting this thread, I just love having everything in one place so I can scan it over whenever I have some time to waste.

Anyway, we commissioned an artist in Israel to create our ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) and I wanted to add a picture of the inspiration piece to my wedding thread. His name is Izzy Pludwinski, and his work is amazing. He''s creating the entire thing so it is truly going to be a work of art, I''m so excited!

the border design contains two texts:
"Kol sasson v''kol simchah, kol chatan v''kol kallah and Ani l''dodi v''dodi li -
("The voice of gladness, the voice of joy, the voice of the groom, the voice of the bride", and
"I am my beloved''s and my beloved is mine."

The writing in the center is the actual marriage contract, in both Hebrew and English.

Here''s a pic:

Beautiful!!

Wait, so you already have wedding shoes? I''m confused...

 

[Haven]

No, I had those shoes and then realized they HURT so I'm still looking. And my dog smudged her dirty muddy nose on them the instant I took them out of the box, so they're dirty to boot.

I went to Nordstrom yesterday and they didn't have ANY Stuart Weitzmans in my size. Not. one. pair.
SO I bought another pair that I sorta kinda like, just in case. But I'm going to go to another Nordstrom this week and see if I can try on a pair of Weitzmans. I so want those gorgeous gold shoes, but I don't want to buy them if they're going to be uncomfortable.

I'll get a pic of the other shoes I bought when my camera battery is all charged up.

 

[FrekeChild]

Awesome. I do hope that the SWs are comfy though. And I wish I had more $$$ and that they were in my size, because then I could order them and tell you if they are comfy or not!!

(I can''t wait to get out of school and get a job so I can buy fabulous designer shoes!)

 

[Haven]

Freke, honey, ou should totally get a job doing something with footwear. Shoe critic? Columnist? Personal shopper? I think you have a devoted following here on PS, already! I''d read your column.

 

[FrekeChild]

I would totally be a personal shopper in a heartbeat. Speaking of, I''ve been slacking a bit in helping everyone with their shoes...

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Haven! Sorry you''re having to look for new shoes, but your ketubah is gorgeous!

 

[Haven]

I wanted to add my veil and real wedding shoes to the thread. OH! And my after-party dress!

My veil:

 

[Haven]

And the shoes, those shoes I posted earlier are OUT. Far. Too. Uncomfortable.

These are comfy and they have a higher heel, always a bonus:

 

[Haven]

And the after-party dress. I really loathe the look on my face in the first picture, but it''s the only front-on shot I have. Ah, well.

 

[newbie124]

OMG, I heart those green shoes! Are those for your after party? I think your dress will look great with your shoes

 

[Haven]

I''m wearing those green shoes for the whole day! I know it''s not conventional, but I lurve them! And they''re comfortable.

 

[HollyS]

Your choices are very sophisticated and elegant. The invites are really pretty; and you''ll look fabulous in that dress.

 

[Haven]

Thanks, Holly! I really value your opinion because you have a keen eye for style as I''ve noticed from your posts. So, thank you!

 

[FrekeChild]

Green Heels?! Fabulousness!!Where did you get them??

 

[Haven]

I found them at Nordstrom--when I was searching for those gorgeous gold Stuart Weitzmans!

 

[CNOS128]

Ohhh, Haven, I just love that ketubah! Good choice!
