I’ve gotten to the point where nothing planning related feels as good as checking something off my list. And I just knocked off a big (at least for me) one—I nailed down my bridal accessories.

If you read my post on accessories from a while back, you know I was seriously waffling about what to get. But at this point, I’ve got it nailed down…and I’m thrilled with the final look.

I ended up deciding to mix gold with pearls on my accessories—and even though the actual rings are silver (remember how pretty they are?!?) I think it’ll work. Of course, I don’t have a picture of my final “bridal look” on me…but as a refresher, here’s what I’m doing.

How did I find Weddingbee?

Probably Google, honestly. I’m sure I searched something generic like “wedding decor ideas” and a post from the boards came up. I’ve loved weddings for a really long time, and once I found Weddingbee I was hooked. All the ladies blogging were so charming and real. I loved reading about their actual experiences, both the joys and struggles.

Greetings and salutations, hive! I’ve really missed you. I am alive and recovering from the madness of wedding/honeymoon/a hellish couple of weeks at work…and ready to begin those recaps!!

When I first started blogging, I thought I would be raring to go on recap posts…but I got the full collection of my high-res professional photos about a week ago and found myself totally overwhelmed. How to describe such days? How to wade through photos in such numbers?! It’s intimidating, to say the least.
