Bridesmaid Diaries Part 2

And their off!
The number of emails I'm receiving in regards to the wedding, bachelorette parties, bridal showers, etc have started to double in the past few weeks!

Wedding #1's Dresses have been picked out and we have started making payments on them:

We all got to choose our own style dress as
long as they were all Caymen Blue!
I LOVE my dress!
As for the Wedding #2 we have picked out dresses and we need to order them by the end of March:

found here
Our dresses will all be cocoa in color and we will
be wearing cowgirl boots.
P.S. my favorite part, this dress has POCKETS!!!
So now that dresses and hair and make-up are all figured out for the day...what else do we have?
Oh yeah!
Those Bridal Parties...
and Bachelorette Parties...
Would you believe me if I told you that in the all the weddings I've been in (including my own) I've never been to a traditional bachelorette party?
Never.
I've been to lingerie parties.
I've been to days at the spa.
But never a bachelorette party.

When I was asked for feedback about how to plan for said party I froze...I don't know what to do?
Does anyone out there have any suggestions?
-----------------------------------------------
On other notes I promised to show you my most recent project.
I started last night and finished about 15 minutes ago!
First I bought 4 different colored fabrics 3/4 yds each.
Then I cut 1" strips
Unfold & cut into fourths.
Pretty stacks of fabric!
ABC
I purchased 2 heart shaped wreath
frames at Hobby Lobby
What I forgot to take pictures of was how I overlapped the 2 frames and started tying them together with my knotted fabric.
Pull Ribbon between 2 sections of the frame
knot once...
knot twice...
stair step your alternating fabrics and slide back.
Continue in this pattern until your wreath is full!
If you like you can go around the edges with
scissors or a rotary blade to clean up your lines.

**My hubby suggested this tip...when I was fussy
about how I wasn't totally in love with it, I think
I'll keep him ;)
Close up of heart #1
Close up of heart #2
And finally you can hang it on your door
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
The rest of the week I'll be working on my scarf every chance I get...I wonder if it's safe to knit and walk on the treadmill...just kidding!
I'm off to bed it's been a busy day!
I hope you all had a Blessed Tuesday!

  3. For mine, we're doing a sleepover at a lake cabin! I'm not a traditional "go out" sort of person. The best bachelorette party I went to was VERY well planned ahead of time - activities were scheduled, restaurants were pre-picked, reservations were made. She even estimated how much money everyone needed to bring.

  4. I just saw your comment today. I've been busy doing bridesmaid duties! I'm sure you know the feeling :) Feel free to post the invites... just link back please. Today, I posted all the pictures from the actual party. I loved this theme because the bride is very conservative and did not want the traditional bachelorette party. I still have lots of ideas and wish I could have done more. Good luck with all you parties!
