Mrs. Sand Dollar's Picture
Mrs. Sand Dollar, Houston Age and Occupation: 24, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Electrical Technician Engagement Date: January 8, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: MacLean Park About Me: I'm a domestic diva down to the core. I heart cooking, sewing, baking, decorating and making sure we have a hand-crafted home. The best part about the wedding is I get to incorporate it all! I make sure I put my art degree to good use by screen printing, craft knife cutting, and a whole lotta graphic design. We're having a big-time party on a small-time budget, and I promise to show you a boot-scootin', barbecue-eatin', finger-lickin' good time! Mr. Sand Dollar and I spend most of our time on DIY projects or traipsing around the outdoors with our two pooches Rory and Juno. I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with all of you!
About Mrs. Sand Dollar

Well, it’s time! Our disk of pro pics came, and I’m so excited to be able to share my recaps with you all! With over 800 images to choose from, I’ve never had such a hard time choosing which pictures are prettiest! I love love LOVE our photographer, Scott V. of The Pros and RSVP Studios. I 100% endorse their work and highly recommend them. OK, so enough with the gushing, let’s get to the pictures already!

So you all heard about what a madhouse setting up the site was. So when we got to the house I immediately poured myself a glass of wine, drained it, then poured another to sip on. No need getting tipsy before the big show! I then jumped into the shower, so Bestie C could blow out my hair and start styling it.

All my girls started putting on their makeup, finishing up their hair, and putting on their pretty black dresses.

While I was in the works (and I have pictures, but I’m making a bunch of hair-pulling faces so I’ll spare you the torture) Scott snagged a few pics of the details. Have I mentioned that I loved my red boots?!?

Here’s a super cute ring shot. I have a thing for green, if you haven’t noticed.

Also a quick snapshot of my lovingly hand-crafted invitations.

All too soon, my hair was finished (and beautiful, thanks Bestie C!), makeup applied, and it was time to put me in that iconic white dress.

Mama SD needed a little help fastening the clasp, so Bridesmaid Nikki came to the rescue!

Don’t I look so pensive? Maybe I’m having cold feet! Ok, no, not really. I’m just

a) a horrible face-maker in pictures and

b) a compulsive blinker.

I drove the photog NUTS! Sorry Scott, my bad. But, you can get a good look at the pearl ring my mom leant me, which matches my earrings. So they completed the whole coastal casual beachy vibe I was going for.

Next up, some sexy fellas!

I cannot wait to get a better look at your hair! What is that charming white pouf I see? Everything looks like the Sundance film festival should.

@Miss Peach Tree: The white pouf is the DIY haircomb I made, blogged about here, http://www.weddingbee.com/2010/07/07/diy-hair-comb/ . I added some feathers to it for a little extra oomph. I loved my wedding hair!

I love those boots on you. My favorite picture is when you’re putting on your garter.
