#WeddingWednesday

Congratulations to our #WeddingWednesday bride Anna and her husband!

Their wedding was November of 2011 "I was the luckiest girl in the world... I married my once in a lifetime, on a 75 degree, sunshiny day. The day before the wedding it was about 40 degrees and rainy (expectedly so, considering it was mid November) and the day after our wedding it was about 35 degrees with sleet and frost" Anna said. She went on to mention that it was a "gift from grandparents and friends who couldn't be there, but still sent a gift from heaven."

Anna and her husband chose a "rustic chic" theme that featured burlap, lace, birch, neutral colors with splashes of green. The bride talked about some of her unique touches including " handmade clutches for my bridesmaids instead of flowers, a set of handmade birch coasters as gifts for everyone in attendance and broach bouquet for me with pins and pieces from everyone I love, family I never had a chance to meet, and keepsakes."

The wedding took place at Sycamore Hills and the ceremony was held outdoors. Anna boasted about her amazing DJ and Photograper. She also mentioned that "the girls at Bombshell who not only gave my the dress of my dreams, but also dressed my entire bridal party."
Although we planned it in 3 months, there was not a single thing I would change, even if I had planned it in 3 years.
Anna had a great surprise in store for her Mom, she had a college music student play a piano version of "Que Sera Sera", "that was my Grandma Mabels favorite song and she passed away a few years ago." What Anna didnt exspect was what happend after the couples first kiss, "as we turned to take our first walk together, a girl stood up and began to sing. Then another. Then another. Before I knew it, the entire Lake Shore show choir was singing a mash up of LOVE by Nat King Cole and All you need is love by the Beatles. We were surrounded by beautiful voices from these kids, tears of joy from our family and friends."
Anna left us with this final thought, "Three years, two baby girls and lots of memories later, I can only hope that everyone has their dream wedding, feels beautiful, loved and special on their big day. Thank you Bombshell for being such a big part in making me feel all those things! Cheers!"
We couldn't agree more, Anna! Congratulations!

12 Things Brides Forget Before Their Wedding Day

BRING EXTRA SHOES! Those gorgeous heels you bought? Yeah, by the time the reception rolls around your feet will be killing you! Bring an extra pair of flats so you can keep dancing and socializing the night away. You’ll thank me later. Decide what to do with the gifts. This is often forgotten during the wedding planning process, but still pretty important thing to remember! Make sure you assign someone to pack up the gifts and tell them where to take them. Especially if you are leaving on your honeymoon that night! You don’t want to decide what to do with them after you have had a few glasses of champagne. ;) Assign someone responsible to take care of the marriage license! Your officiant will take two copies and one is your souvenir. (Yes, you will sign three of them.) Make sure you don’t ask your cousin who has had 4 possibly 6 drinks that night already. A pretty hanger for your wedding dress. Since your dress will be photographed you want to make s...

#WeddingWednesday Taara + Malcolm 9-5-15

Wait until you see how beautiful Taara is! Their wedding was BEAUTIFUL! See what she had to say about her big day: "Our ceremony took place at Rock of  Ages Christian Ministries.   Our ceremony was short and sweet and only lasted about 20 minutes. My dad walked me down the aisle as my only brother sang to me.  I had my 2 favorite guys share this special moment with me and that meant everything to me. My husband and I exchanged vows and demonstrated us becoming one by taking part in a wine communion ceremony.  Once that was all said and done, we were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Hatcher. My fiancé thought that I was the most beautiful bride in the world. He absolutely loved my dress. I felt like a princess in my wedding dress. I never in a million years though that I could feel that way ! Being plus size can put a lot of doubt in your mind when it comes to finding that perfect dress for on...

#WeddingWednesday Cori + Steven 10-24-15

Our wedding theme was paper airplanes because of a short film my husband and I fell in love with. We also were never huge fans of flowers being the focal point, so using paper was fun and unique to us. It also made wedding planning easier not having to handle real flowers so we could get things done months in advance.  It was in the fall so we did use mini pumpkins for escort cards, and we drilled wholes in big pumpkins and put changing LED lights in them. We had paper airplanes on our cake, my necklace, and even on our bouquets and boutonnieres! Also instead of a book for people to sign, we made paper airplanes to later put in a big shadow box.  One of the easiest parts of our 15 month wedding planning adventure was finding my dress! I had gone to a previous shop but it was more so to have a better idea as to what I actually liked and flattered me the most. So once I got to Bombshell finding my dress was amazingly simple and quick! I think my dress endin...
