The Dress and the Tiara

Just two days before Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day and we're all wondering what dress the beautiful style maven is going to wear.






I plan on waking up early to see the spectacle and the dress but I forgot about something very important for a Princess, a tiara.

Click here to see a great post on the royal tiaras. These beauties make me think twice about a veil.

Sorry for the lack of posts over here, I have been neglecting my wedding while I traveled to Spain and Portugal. However, this post is very apropos as I am trying on wedding dresses for the first time this weekend!!

Whimsical Wedding

Everything about Christine and Iaan's adorable wedding makes me smile. That's definitely the emotion I hope to evoke in my own wedding.


How about the sweet invitations chronicling their story? Love.



The space is so clean, yet so fun!


Looks like the borrowed Barbie's car to drive off in.

The Venue

We made it our goal to make moves in our venue decision by the time we go to Spain (which is in five days!), so I'd be leaving out a big piece of the pie if I didn't mention our surprise visit to Bay Pointe Inn while we were back in Michigan last weekend.

Venue #7 - Bay Pointe Inn
I'd seen photos of this beautiful inn and even knew a high school friend who got married there, but having already made seven appointments for last weekend, I didn't think we would make it 30 minutes south of Grand Rapids to Gun Lake to see this venue. Boy were we glad we did. Bay Pointe Inn is a newly renovated resort with 38 suites, a pool and a beautiful ceremony and reception area right on the waterfront. This place is definitely on the short list!
