Mrs. Champagne's Picture
Mrs. Champagne, DC/Vail/Colorado Age and Occupation: 26, Eye Doctor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Attorney Engagement Date: March 13, 2006 Wedding Date: February 2009 Blogging Since: July 30, 2008 Venue: Small church ceremony with mountain-view log cabin reception About Me: I'm a small town mountain girl with a city heart. Found my way to the east coast, and Mr. Champagne kept me here so we're planning a wedding from afar in my hometown Vail, Colorado. I'm secretly obsessed with reality TV, Wii games where I can shoot a gun, country music, and Caesar: Dog Whisperer. I also spend time pretending to golf, backseat driving, having one way conversations with our MinPin Maxwell, loving champagne, and wedding perfecting… I mean, planning. I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…
About Mrs. Champagne

Well, maybe not completely packed, but I do have all of my wedding day accessories finalized! The shoes took a while to find, and I searched and searched for earrings and a clutch, but I’m finally ready!

I found a wonderful website called Evening Elegance that has a HUGE selection of evening bags. I was looking for something that didn’t cost a fortune but didn’t look inexpensive. There are a ton of color selections, and my bag arrived just two days after I ordered it.

I purchased my earrings from Emitations.com and actually tried out a few pairs and just returned the ones I didn’t want. That way I was able to see them with my dress and get Champ’s opinion.

Champ sent me flowers for my birthday this summer, and they came with a tiny bottle of Vera Wang’s “Sheer Veil”. The first time I smelled it, I knew this would be my wedding day scent, so I’ve been rationing this little bad boy for MONTHS!

Remember the horns on my veil?

Well, I brought my veil to my seamstress, and it went from this:

Notice the progression of my unibrow? Nice, huh. That appointment is tomorrow, thank God. It’s been tough not to pick up the tweezers.

I forgot to take a picture of my hair flower before I sent it to Vail, but I purchased a gorgeous silk flower from Etsy seller Mikiye:

And every girl has a pair of dancin’ shoes. I’ll do the more traditional champagne colored shoes for the ceremony and then a quick switcheroo for the reception. Mine are almost like ballroom shoes, and super comfortable.

Thanks for the heads’ up Miss Champ for the jewelry and accessories pics and links! Some great resources as yours are beautiful (esp the bracelet). Your veil is gorgeous and they all really “come together” well. Love the red dancin’ shoes.
