The Call

Yesterday I got the call.

The call was from my bridal shop. My dress is in—and a few weeks early! I won’t have my first fitting until after the New Year, but my consultant said I could drop by to see the dress whenever I want (insert giddy jumping here).

Now don’t go looking through my old posts searching for a picture of my dress—you won’t find one. I’m a dress tease. I’m sorry hive, I love you truly, madly, deeply, but no one is seeing my dress until the wedding day. Mr. Cheetah is adamant that he knows absolutely nothing of my wedding day look beforehand—and I want my guests to be surprised too. I can’t take the risk of revealing my dress to the interwebs just yet. You’ll just have to wait until after March to see my dress in all its glory. Oh, and I promise that it is glorious.

Since I am a big ol’ blogging meanie who isn‘t showing you pictures of my dress I’m going to give you some photos of some other awesome wedding dresses to appease any wedding dress cravings.

How secretive are you about your wedding dress?

*PS I may or may not have a bridesmaid who made out with one The Backstreet Boys.

Lemon Drops

When your color palette gives you lemon yellow, make lemon-decor!

Lemon yellow is one of our colors, and using actual lemons might be the perfect way to get that yellow pop of color.


While I like to pretend I'm some sort of wedding planning wunderkind, I'm obviously not the first person to think of using citrus as decor. Yet I'm glad this has been done before because now there are gorgeous inspiration images to drool over!

Lemon centerpieces:



Lemon centerpieces can double as table numbers:


Awesome lemon escort cards and table settings:



Citrus cake trimming:



Lemon aisle decor:



And my favorite, lemons in tasty and adorable alcoholic beverages:


We are going to have a signature cocktail (or two!) at our reception, and I want one to be lemon flavored and topped with an adorable lemon garnish. I'm thinking Lemon Drops, but that's largely because it's the only lemon cocktail that I'm familiar with (lemon, sugar and vodka—yes, please!).

Do you know of any other yummy lemon cocktail recipes?
