"Somebody's Getting Married...": May 2011

Badgley Mischka

so, I am definitely (I say this now) going to wear a pair of Badgley Mischka shoes with my reception dress at the wedding. But i'm not sure which ones to get. I guess once Debo makes my dress it will be easier to decide, but I really need to narrow it down. What do you think?

Thanks Jason

I just had to repost this Message my good friend Jason sent me on Facebook after he received his invitation in the mail today.

"ok WOW!! Just got the invite in the mail, and it is (coming from a dude) the most beautiful invite I've ever seen."

It means so much because I worked so hard on the invitations, and I was hoping everyone would like them, but I have been so overwhelmed by the positive feedback. Thanks so much everyone!

Invitations out

I sent the wedding invitations out on Tuesday. I finally finished them with some help from my ladies in waiting and my amazing artist mother. I designed,I cut, I pasted, I folded and now they are being sent all over the world...London, Canada, Japan, L.A. among other places. They are not perfect, they are completely hand made, they are wonderful. I hope our guests keep & enjoy them....

just imagine what the wedding will be like.
