#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...

REAL TALK. How to be A Good Bridesmaid

We all know that being a bridesmaid is a blessing AND a curse. Buying a dress that 1. you don’t like and 2. UGH that price tag though! We all know that sometimes being asked to be in a wedding is extremely frustrating. However, when your best friend asks you to be in her wedding it’s hard to not feel honored! She loves you and wants you by her side for the most important day of her life. Please be seated class! Remember that she might be stressed out, and don’t take it personal. She may be stressed because everyone is in her ear telling her what she should do. Ask her if she needs help and most likely she will need it, but might not want to ask. You may not care about all the details, but she does! A good friend will shut up about her wanting paper flowers instead of real ones and help her make “said” paper flowers. She will change her mind at least a dozen times. I am SOOO guilty of this. In this day and age with pinterest, instagram, wedding blogs, and facebook i...
