Stress Begone! Beautiful Invitations Be-here!

After the beautiful presentation of samples I received a few weeks ago, it's no surprise my wedding invitations arrived today in a package that looks like this:

First of all, (eeeeeeee) I cannot believe they're already here-- I just placed my order 2 weeks ago on May 9th! The boxes, the wrapping paper (where can I get paper like this?!), the personally signed order slips...Bella Figura, you are a class act and on top of your exceptional customer service, I could not be happier with my wedding invitations! If anyone is ever looking to splurge on invitations, I can assure you this eco-friendly company makes it worth every penny (and they also donate 1% of every sale to an environmental cause of your choice via "1% for the planet").

In the end, I didn't choose either of the 2 finalists from my other post. I decided to stick with simple elegance and ordered the Keswick suite. Like I've already said, I could not be happier. We're at the 4 month mark and I can finally cross something new off my task list!

Every time I visit RNL, I love it a little more.

Hello Lover!

I love satin. Satin ribbon, satin fabric, satin shoes. The only thing better than satin, is blushy nude pink satin.

I came across these satin Prada sandals yesterday. I swear they were satin in store, but the ones online only show suede...so picture these in satin:

They were so unbelievably pretty, and I almost blew half my tax return on them. Further incentive: they would be perfect wedding shoes! Well, lucky for my wallet, they only had them in a half size too small, so I left empty handed. On the same note, I'm not sure I want to spend a crazy amount of money on wedding shoes-- mostly because they aren't going to show at all. So unless I get the itch to spend right before the wedding (which is highly possible) I'm tentatively wearing the shoes from my engagement party (that I still haven't had the opportunity to wear again) or something else from Badgley Mischka and most likely in blush satin :)

Badgley Mischka "Randi"

Badgley Mischka "Elia"

Badgley Mischka "Dreamy Flower". Not satin but they remind me too much of the first time Carrie name dropped Louboutin in Sex and the City at the end of season 4 (as far as I can remember) for her last Big date before he moved. I tried these Badgley Mischkas on last time I was at Bloomingdales-- they look prettier and less wild once they're on.
