#WeddingWednesday Amy + Dan 7.26.15

For this #WeddingWednesday we are doing things a bit differently. My husband Dan, wanted to write this post from his point of view. (HOW CUTE IS THAT?!) Here is what he had to say about our day:


“Before the ceremony I felt very excited and nervous (good nervous). I was drinking with my groomsmen on the porch waiting for the ceremony to start.

When the music started playing I felt really excited and happy. I was really curious what Amy’s dress was going to look like, she had been hinting at it being camo for months. That got old fast. When she came out I was very surprised and it was very beautiful. I was extremely glad it wasn’t camo. When Amy was walking towards me I had the biggest grin on my face, and I couldn’t stop smiling, she was so beautiful.

We decided to be unique and write our own vows which was very special to us. During all the excitement and happiness the officiant forgot to have us recite our vows. Luckily enough we reminded him and got to recite our beautiful vows to each other and end it with our signature pinky promise.

Between the ceremony and the reception we took pictures, Amy had the picture set up in a really cool way so she could photoshop some cool things. Example below:

Some cool things about we did at our wedding were Amy made these awesome boutonnieres for my groomsmen and I.

At the reception we had a hand saw to cut our cake with.

We also played the shoe game with a unique twist where we used fatheads instead of each others shoes.

For the reception we walked in to “What is Love” by Haddaway with our heads bobbing like night at the Roxbury movie.

My favorite part of the reception was the first dance with my beautiful wife. Our first dance song was You and I by Michael Buble. We practiced dancing in our hotel room the night before so we could get the spinning down, didn’t want her to trip or fall.

My wife surprised me with a flash mob of the song “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars. I had a hint they were doing that for awhile. It came out very well and I was amazed by their funky dance moves.

The photographers took us in the woods to take some sunset pictures. We had no idea where we were going and it was kinda weird. But, the pictures turned out AWESOME! We did miss some key points while we were in the woods but thankfully we had awesome videographers that caught details like my grandpa dancing. (I have never seen him in my entire life dance).

While we were cutting the cake I forgot about the tradition of shoving cake in each other's face and my wife surprised me and smashed it all over my face. I’m not going to lie I was pretty upset. But I love her.

My wife did a great job and she did a lot of the planning of our reception decorations for the night's festivities. I am very thankful to have her.

Overall it was a beautiful day and I couldn’t have asked for a greater moment in my life. “

Bridal Shows

Bridal shows are the best way for you, the busy bride to plan your wedding with ease! Shows are an exciting, fun, festive way to meet different necessary vendors. These vendors are there for you, they are there to talk with you, give you information and help you find what services fit your wedding.  Shows can also be a bit overwhelming, as a salon we see this happen a lot! Make sure to plan ahead and are ready for day, here are some tips from us.  Bring important people, groom included. Don't invite your entire bridal party, save that for other activities, this is a chance for you to really figure out what you need and want to have at your wedding.  Make a list of the products and service you need most, visit them first.  Ask for a map of the show, you can see where specific vendors are placed and it will help you navigate.  Print out your name, wedding date, and contact info on labels, this saves a lot of time for entries at vendor tables.  ...

Emily's #WeddingWednesday

Emily came to Bombshell on a recommendation from a friend "I was having a horrible time finding a dress in my size. I called the shop and asked about my size, when she said "We have that size", I almost cried" she said. The bride and new mom came to the shop she had little less than a month until her wedding. Emily was so worried about finding a gown for her special day. " We picked out 4 dresses an started trying them on, I wasn't feeling like any of them was "The one". My consultant  wasn't rushful or rude about me not liking them. She then went to the back and brought out a dress in blue that could be ordered in white, I LOVED IT!!!!" The gown Emily chose was ready for her wedding and she looked stunning! " The day of my wedding I felt like a million dollars, everyone loved my dress.When I got to my husband at the alter he was in awe, mouth open and all. After the wedding he told me that I took his breath away, that he fell...

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...
