Bridal Expo!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to the blog! School has gotten a little crazy with the beginning of the 4th quarter starting and spring break less than 2 days upon us (thank goodness)!!

So my mom and I went to the Bridal Expo at the Dulles Expo center on April 10th.  My goodness was it a fun people watching experience! Plus we got a few ideas for the wedding and we started the photographer hunt.  This photographer hunt is going to be harder than I expected.  Many of the photos are starting to look the same to me and I am not sure how I am going to pick just the right photographer.  It is one of my top priorities so I will spending a lot of time in the next few months focusing on a photographer.  The best advice I got from a photographer at the expo was to find someone that you click with and get along with because Will and I will be spending a lot of time with them on our wedding day.  I also want to take our engagement photos over the summer so hopefully I find a photographer before then :)  (I apologize in advance for the awful quality of the photos below because I had to use my phone, next time my mom and I will not forget the camera). 

Idea #1
At this flower booth a florist gave us the idea that we can cut maple branches with fall colored leaves and hang tea lights from the branches.  Cute idea and something to consider for the foyer.  

Idea #2
Continue strict workout schedule and healthy eating plan so that I can have my dream dress and not look like  a tissue box exploded on my dress.  I am not a fan of puffy, fluffy things. 

Idea #3

Wrapping personalized ribbon around the stem of little pumpkins as party favors



Overall my mom and I had a wonderful time together and had lots of laughs! 

In the upcoming week we are going to possibly start a wedding dress hunt and I am sure with a nice long week of no work I will be able to start gathering more ideas.  More to come :)
