Featured Website of the week #1

I have decided since I love Weddings so much that I would begin featuring different websites that show Weddings and other events in a limelight I truly enjoy.

These Websites are often just site I find while I’m surfing and that I want to remember and show to other for the rest of time…

My first featured site is:
Opulent Creations Events: http://opulentcreationsevents.squarespace.com/

Great Wedding and Baby Shower Planning...Love the blog, very informative and the illustrations are to die for! Well done Ladies!

[6/8/2009 5:34:08 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: it’s an interesting thing, the wedding colours…
[6/8/2009 5:34:12 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: I wouldn’t be sure.

[6/8/2009 5:35:27 PM] Corinne Salone: what?

[6/8/2009 5:36:42 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: I think the tartan dress is cute, but probably not the best thing… a little cheesy maybe for a wedding.

[6/8/2009 5:37:10 PM] Corinne Salone: lol yeah
[6/8/2009 5:37:15 PM] Corinne Salone: I couldn’t see myself in it

[6/8/2009 5:39:29 PM] Corinne Salone: ubber creepy when ones girlfriend is planning ones wedding colors without the hope of a wedding anywhere in the near future, I think it shows how much i’ve been missing and thinking about you.
[6/8/2009 5:41:12 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: I don’t mind it…  I understand how infatuated with it you are…  and one day I want to see you fulfil these ideas.

[6/8/2009 5:46:08 PM] Corinne Salone: cat or dog?
[6/8/2009 5:46:14 PM] Corinne Salone: fish?
[6/8/2009 5:46:22 PM] Corinne Salone: you’d want a fish…less work

[6/8/2009 5:46:24 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: dunno
[6/8/2009 5:46:32 PM] Corinne Salone: and it requires less movement
[6/8/2009 5:46:33 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: not exactly.
[6/8/2009 5:46:33 PM] Corinne Salone: lol

[6/8/2009 5:46:41 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: ha!
[6/8/2009 5:46:53 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: bit cheeky coming from you! ;)

[6/8/2009 5:47:07 PM] Corinne Salone: me: “watch (insert animal name here)”
[6/8/2009 5:47:33 PM] Corinne Salone: You: “okay *runs to desk where fish bowl is*”
[6/8/2009 5:48:08 PM] Corinne Salone: fishbowl and computer*

[6/8/2009 5:48:15 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: I love having any type of pet.  Sure, they can be a load to deal with but that doesn’t mean they’re any less enjoyable to have around the majority of the time.
[6/8/2009 5:48:32 PM] Corinne Salone: like kids
[6/8/2009 5:48:37 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: and dogs find it hard to jump up on a desk and sleep on my keyboard.
[6/8/2009 5:48:38 PM] Corinne Salone: when does the animal stage come?
[6/8/2009 5:48:46 PM] Corinne Salone: after the newlywed house stage?
[6/8/2009 5:48:58 PM] Corinne Salone: lol

[6/8/2009 5:48:59 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: most likely, yes.
[6/8/2009 5:49:08 PM] Corinne Salone: I was joking about you maybe wanting fish, it would take less work and more time at the computer
[6/8/2009 5:49:37 PM] Corinne Salone: what are your stages? you have no mommy stage
[6/8/2009 5:50:00 PM] Corinne Salone: I guess you have some sort of Daddy stage
[6/8/2009 5:50:07 PM] Corinne Salone: if it’s a boy…bonding
[6/8/2009 5:50:09 PM] Corinne Salone: right?

[6/8/2009 5:50:11 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: oh rly? :P
[6/8/2009 5:50:16 PM] Corinne Salone: idk
[6/8/2009 5:50:16 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: yeah, kinda.
[6/8/2009 5:50:35 PM] Corinne Salone: strange face you can has
[6/8/2009 5:51:02 PM] Craig Scott McCreath: I know.  It’s a mix of sheer tiredness, thoughtfullness and wonder of the years to come.

Testing the concept of the short wedding dress

Wedding Dresses are amazing and I  was curious about shorter dresses.

Also Check out a new Site that I discovered that is a lot like southern Weddings.com: http://www.stylemepretty.com/

Short Dresses are always

I’m in that Crazy Wedding planning mood again

I was looking at the Bridezillas  website and it got me thinking about my possible future wedding. There was a quiz about whether or not I’m a Bridezilla or not and I got this result:

Are you a Bridezilla? Your assessment: You’re just an average bride. Drop and give us twenty!

One of the questions in the quiz was, “my wedding dress is…” and an option was Frech Couture. I’m really interesting in wedding things so I looked up French couture to see what it looks like. I loved the style.

But then I got myself thinking at personally I may not want to wear french couture on my wedding day…so i looked instead at French Couture bridesmaid dresses.

I found alot of cute dresses that I think are stylish and would like to have my future bridesmaids choose from.
In order to really understand if the dress would be pretty or not I needed to see it in many different shades. some of the examples were in colours like canary yellow and bright orange…not the greatest:
Love the dress...but I can't see that color on my wedding day.

Dessy Dress in Blue...bridesmaid?

Dessy Dress in Blue...bridesmaid?

Love the dress…but I can’t see that color on my wedding day.
So then I got to thinking of what colors I would rather see on my big day!
And I ended up clicking on a few dresses that gave me the option of changing the dresses color to see.
Dessy.com was my favorite website to see the different colors:
The colors that I’ve envisioned my wedding to be ever since I began dating Craig were  some kinds of shades of brown.
I get this nice warm coffee feeling when I’m in his place and in Dundee and I thought the colors of: espresso, Butterscotch, almond and honeysuckle would be appropriate to represent Craig’s simplistic coffee loving style.

I think browns go well with the off white ivory color that I hope to one day be in my wedding dress.

Ivory Satinjst_nude_satin_napkin132

My personal favorite colors are all springy and bright. I love warm colors. I was thinking that to accent the brown base that I’d set that I’d have pops of reds/burgundies (claret, ribbon red (satin) and royal reds) and maybe some greens, My skin color looks nice in the color green.
Claret Red :D

Ribbon Red Dress

I used to hate the colors green and orange because green was Tyler’s favorite color and orange just reminded me of construction workers. There are only a few shades of burnt orange that I truly have  respect for. The shade of green I think is elegant is a moss or an olive green. I was searching for a nice ivory and I found a shoe that I think is to Die for…

I found the shoe on a blog of a Sheria Na Mavazi…it’s a designer blog and I really enjoyed reading it and looking at Ngowi’s Style.

While I was on my Web surfing streak trying to find the perfect representation of the colors that I was looking for I found a great website that showed what my potential color pallets may be:

The Southern Wedding Daily Blog

On the site I found a great Blue and Olive slate representation as well as a great Ivory World Vintage look.

Southern Weddings Daily Blog is my New favorite website since I can’t watch platinum weddings on WE television daily anymore.

Some of the pictures taken on their site were taken by photographers from Steadfast Photography.

Personally when I get married I want to hire a friend of mine who is an amazing photographer.

His name is Jonny Hoffner and he and his wife Michelle go to my church they own JHP http://www.jonathanhoffnerphotography.com/ and I want Jonny to do my wedding pictures because he has true skill.

While I was looking at SW.com I came across an amazing Vintage wedding color palette and design.

Old World Vintage

I absolutely fell in love with it. It’s a great style but I think I could make it more elegant.

Claret Roses

Maybe by adding some roses of a deep red.

While looking at all the wonderful EYE CANDY WEDDINGS on SW.com I came across a really cute set of pillows…those pillows led me to an interior design company  http://maihardesign.com/blog/

OMG SOUTHERN WEDDINGS .COM I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! it’s so exciting to explore that it makes my heart beat faster! Every single time I look at it it gives me eye orgasims Can’t wait to get married so i can use it as a resource!

Now that I’ve determined some of my colors I am really really happy. I just hope that when i get engaged my future husband agrees with me ;D

a Scottish inspired dress I was shocked that I actually liked at first glance...growing on me?
