She Comes in Colors Everywhere...

Well, I never heard back from JCrew about the final sale policy on the dresses below. So...I guess it's not meant to be. I'm sure they will come back around. They seem to have a lot of the same stuff every other season.

So, I've been going back and forth about colors for well...about 9 months now. At first I really wanted to do jewel tones:

I found the board above and really liked the colors. I also found some jewel tone inspiration in other places too. Oddly enough, my Christmas tree ornaments were one.

Then I started reading wedding magazines and wedding blogs and wedding web sites and was changing my mind on a weekly basis.

First I loved Aqua and Emerald a la Martha, but alas I need more color than that:

And then I really liked the cranberry and orange combo, but later decided that was a bit too much like fall:

Then I was thinking brighter shades, maybe pink and orange?

or maybe a more subdued version:

I really like the pink/orange but I feel like it could be a little overwhelming. So then I thought about yellow and pink with small amounts of orange. I have been seeing a lot of things that I like in this area.

Some marigold and fuschia

So, I'm pretty sure I'll end up with some variation of these colors. I love these flowers:


Here are a few more yellow (and little pink) favs.

I guess it's never a bad thing to have so many great ideas to choose from and so many resources to tap into! Some day I will have enough time to update my links section to include the gazillion blogs and sites I visit on a daily basis. Hey, I only have 11 months left to drool over all things wedding, I'll do it all day if I want!

GAH!

JCrew is having a sale and one of the dresses I really like is included:

It was originally $260.00, now $179. Normally, this would be great, right?

Problems would be:

A) it's only onsale until Friday.
B) my wedding is still 11 months and some odd days away.
C) you can't try them on.
D) and most importantly, it says you can't exchange or return!

Waaaaaah. Waaaaah. I e-mailed them to see if problem D can be worked around at all. I really think these dresses are so cute and even though $179 is not cheap-o, it's almost as much as I've paid for dresses from David's Bridal.

Le sigh. I don't know what to do.

The count down is on...

I hate those internet count down clocks. But, I thought it was worth mentioning that I'll be getting hitched in like 364 days and some odd hours, minutes, and of course...seconds.

woo.
