My fantastic photographer.

How could I have not mentioned Adam Hudson Photography so far?!

They did our engagement shoot last Christmas holiday in Jackson.  Adam was such a good sport, he even let us bring our sweet Abbey dog.

Here are some of my faves:

Adam has reasonable prices, a great eye for pictures, and can travel.  We simply love him, and could not ask for anyone better.

Dear sweet baby Jesus...

...and any other wedding gods that make wedding dreams come true....

THEY'RE HERE.

The dresses.

No, no, not mine.

The girls'. The long awaited bridesmaids dresses in the color that I never thought would appear.

Let me explain.  I have spent infinitely more time looking for their dresses than my own. Let me be clear.... I have NEVER been to a bridal salon for myself.  But I have been to 3 or 4 stores and countless sites looking for the girls.   I was convinced that I would never find them.

... and of course, they are from my love, J. Crew.



Spiced Wine is the color. I am sure that I am not the only bride who is thanking her lucky stars that these dresses are here.  There are maybe 8 styles in all in this color, so this will fit all my girls' body types (from 14 years old and teeny to my curvacious dearest friends).

I've got the okay from all of my girls, and since several of my girls are students, they can claim the 15% discount that J. Crew offers.  And there's a new J. Crew in Mississippi, so the girls can get it shipped to the store and save on shipping.

And they will all be able to pick out their own gold shiny shoes (I think the ones below from J. Crew are perfect) and jewelry.




The dresses range from about $180 to $300 which isn't too, too exorbitant, and they're all silk or cotton and not the nasty fake satin. And let's be honest, I would definitely wear these dresses again.  Seriously.

Okay, and one more...





Again, from Kathryn at Snippet and Ink.

Wedding Inspiration Porn

Here are some things that are inspiring me right now:

Unfortunately tulips are out because of the season (though they're gorgeous in Seattle about now!) but I love the color combo.  This would be a great color for bridesmaids dresses.


Ohhh, I love these zinnias.  I mean, you wouldn't even necessarily need fillers!



Also, I'm sure this isn't a surprise to anyone, but HOW MUCH DO I LOVE the wedding inspiration site Snippet and Ink?!  Look at the following beautiful boards that definitely fit my wedding dreams:





I could look at Snippet and Ink all day.  And sometimes, I do, because I'm the bride.
