12 Days Away...

Yeah, I have NO IDEA how we only have 12 days left until we are getting married!! It felt like just yesterday we just got engaged! Actually, tomorrow is exactly 10 months since we got engaged!! It all went by so crazy fast!!

So on Saturday I ended up going to get the facial done at the spa. I was super nervous about it. Because I have really sensitive skin, and I heard it can make you red and blotchy and break out more.

It lasted 45 minutes long and here is the description of the Spa Facial that I ended up getting:

"Includes a facial cleanser, facial exfoliation, and facial mud masque that stays on and dries for 7-10 minutes, facial toner, and facial moisturizer...Plus the addition of a face, neck, and scalp massage and steamed towel treatment."

And holy cow! I can't tell you how relaxing it was. I'm really glad I got it! I loveeeddddd the scalp massage!! I just wished it lasted longer. LOL the 45 minutes just flew by! It was so nice to finally relax and do something for myself for a change!

I think my skin is glowing. But I also think that I am starting to breakout more...Which could also be from all the stress. Sooooo I dunno.

My cousin had wanted me to have a blackhead removal added to the facial, but they didn't have enough time to do it. So hopefully that's ok. :) The lady said my skin was pretty clear, so it's probably fine that I didn't get it done. Sooooo yeah.

Let's see...What else to talk about?

Oh, I tried my dress on again last night...The first time since Thursday Night's fiasco. And for some strange reason, it fits a lot better than it did on Thursday Night! No idea why, but I'm ecstatic! I'm still going to bring it back to the seamstress tomorrow morning to make sure everything is perfect with it...But I am a lot happier right now at least. :)

And the only other thing I can think to talk about is weather. I really wanted to order the cute parasols for photos...But I was so sure that it was going to rain that I didn't think that rice paper was a good prop to hold up. SO then I started looking for cute umbrellas, but I haven't found anything yet that I love...Or that I could afford for the whole wedding party.

Look at the forecast I just got from accuweather's website!!

Doesn't look that bad! :)

I mean it still says like possible rain. But still way better than the "Heavy Rain and Chilly" that the Farmer's Almanac says!! :)

Parasols

I once mentioned the idea of having my bridal party use parasols for photo accessories.

That was a while ago. And although I have thought about the idea since then, I just kept brushing it off.

However, I recently came across these gorgeous pink and white parasols and cannot stop thinking about them!!

Gorgeous, right?!

And then as I was searching the web, I found some photos of weddings using (what I believe to be) these exact same parasols! Which just make me love them even more!

They look a lot lighter in this photo than in the stock photo...But I think they are the same ones because the girl who is trying to sell them has the same stock photo that I put at the top of this entry.

This photo also looks like those same parasols...And in similar wedding colors to my own!

Again showing how awesome black and hot pink go together! :)

So if I got pink for my girls, I would need a black and white damask one. Or, well, of course I could always have pink too.

So I could always use this white and black parasol to match the girl's pink and white...It is the same pattern.

There's also this one...Which doesn't really look like white...And of course it is Mehendi Henna, and not damask. But it is still beautiful.

Maybe I can find one that is white with a pink pattern for myself. I will have a pink bouquet, so it wouldn't be that strange for me to have pink.

Oh, and actually if the girls had pink with white, that would be neat if I had white with pink. Especially if we could actually all have the same pattern.

I don't see a white with pink parasol on on the website where the pink with white, and white with black parasols came from. But maybe I could always contact them and see if they could custom make one for me.

Umbrellas & Parasols

I have been planning on paying to book an indoor photography site for us to get our photographs done in between the Ceremony & the Reception.
This way we will be all set if it rains.
There are free sites available for indoor photography...But they are first come, first serve. And I am finding that my wedding date is very popular...So I feel like if I have a booked reservation I will be much more calm and less stressed the day of. I like being able to stick to a schedule and being on time.


However, a couple of outdoor rainy pictures might be OK, too.


The girls will need cute hot pink umbrellas though:


Cute, right? ;) I thought that the heart was an appropriate wedding touch.



Or a damask umbrella:




Just pretend that umbrella has pink trim instead of red...And that it isn't made for a baby stroller...



I know they say that rain on your wedding day is good luck...But I'd prefer a sunny wedding day...Hopefully with luck, too!


So we can always do happy outdoor sunny parasol photos. :)



And the girls can each have a hot pink parasol!! :)




Of course this black & white LOVE parasol is to die for!


As is this Just Married Parasol!



According to the three (yes, THREE!) different 2010 Farmer's Almanacs that I bought...It is going to rain on my wedding day.

But really only time will tell...So we'll see what happens...
