#WeddingWednesday Amanda + Andrew 9-19-2015

Amanda and Andrew's wedding is too ADORABLE for words! You can see the love between them! <3 *Sigh* Here is what she had to say about her big day:


"The morning of my wedding, it was raining. I was so nervous that it was going to continue because our ceremony was outside on the back lawn of the Grosse Pointe War Memorial right on the water. When the coordinator came in she asked if we still planned on getting married outside and I still said yes. We got so lucky because it turned out to be a beautiful day, and through the window I could see butterflies flying around.

I was escorted down the aisle by my mom, I was trying so hard the whole time not to cry only because I was so happy to walk down the aisle to my best friend and finally put the ring that I had bought him 3 years earlier on his finger.

My husband told me that my dress was not what he was expecting, he thought that I was going to have a big poofy dress, but he told me that he loved my dress because it fit me in all the right places and showed off my curves really well. The dress that I chose when I was walking through was really not something that I thought I would like, I liked the beading when I saw it on the dress so decided to give it a try. As soon as the dress was laced I knew it was the one because it made me feel so perfect. My husband liked it for the same reasons I did, it fit me in all the right places.



My reception took place at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial after the ceremony and picture taking. It was an awesome venue, everyone was telling us the whole night how delicious the food was.

Our décor was a nautical rustic feel with a few Disney touches.

At our reception our first dance song was Everlasting Light, by the Black Keys.

The one song that had to be played during the night was Dynamite by Taio Cruz, my best friend and Maid of Honor had made up a dance to the song and we kept everyone entertained during our dance.


The one thing that happened during our reception was that my husband stepped on the bottom of my dress and tore the bustle right out! Our DJ came to the rescue with his sewing kit which had safety pins in it and saved the day.

My best friend and I are very close, asking my photographer to take this photo was uncomfortable but she was more than happy to take it and even got a kick out of the idea."



That photo is adorable and hilarious! LOVE IT! We here at Bombshell wish you both nothing but the best! Congratulations to you two love birds! We wish you many years of happiness! <3

  1. My peonies were tiny infants when the Flower Delivery Los Angeles team handed them over to my arms. They just came from a long trip from France in the same day. Then after traveling in NY public transportation, the high temperature forced all flowers to open. The matured blossoms still moved my heart.

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...
