Motivation

Well my mom over the weekend sure wasn't a great motivator to start working on my dress.  I thought I would make one last ditch attempt to find a dress that is mostly what I want that I could just add or build up on. 
I tried this on at Saks 5th over the weekend and it so lovely but Mom put a firm NAY on it being a wedding dress option.  It was a much lighter Creme color instead of the Tan one they have on their website.

Oh I found a picture but you can't see it as clearly as the Tan one anyways. Not that it matters much since Mom said Nay.

You might wonder why I am putting so much stock into what my mom says.  Well I figure let the Ceremony be hers and the Reception me and Andy's!  I am the only girl and the youngest so she will never get to have this moment ever again.  I like always make considerations to my Mom's happiness within reason. 

Trying on this dress did give me some ideas for my own dress.  Perhaps I will go with a more Traditional Hanbok for the entire thing.  I'll just do a white/creme one for the ceremony and have a layer of colorfulness to slip on for the reception!  Genius!  Two dresses in one!  I doubt that will happen but I can still dream right? 

I found these gorgeous modern Hanbok designs today from this Site. This is what is inspiring me right now.

This Last picture is of someone else's modern Hanbok from their wedding and I love the rainbow color choices.  Ideally I want to use something similar in colors.  Usually it's the sleeves of the jacket (jeogori) that are decorated in a rainbow pattern and the dress itself is one plain bold color.

YIPEE SKIPEE!

Just a small update I FOUND MY SHOES!!!!!!  Those Vivienne Westwoods.  I actually got them already right after Thanksgiving but I've not been feeling up to bloggin anything wedding related.

Turned out the shoes were completely sold out on Hervia.com so I was near tears to give up and then I gave it one last ditch effort and SHAZAM!  Endless.com had them and in my SIZE 5!  I snatched them up immediately and those were the only ones in that Red for that size, how fortunate I was.

Here is a terrible picture of the shoes when I had just gotten them after a long day at work and I promptly took a nap in them as well.

Yah yet another thing down.  Also confirmed music by some friends in a band called "My Kid Sister".  Yah it wasn't just some drunken or friendly banter saying they would play.  They are really looking forward to it and learning songs for us! 

Now if only all the other things could go just as easily.  I've had some panic attacks and insane tears these past 3 weeks trying to do a little bit of wedding planning.  It's just so overwhelming.  I talked to a recently married bride who is my friends new sister in law. She was ever so helpful and supportive and helped to ease some of my anxieties.  Apparently I have a lot done and alot covered so I'm on a good course.

Our Save the Dates are almost set.  I know they are going to be letterpress on chipboard made into  Magnets that I'm making with my Bridesmaids at Igloo Letterpress in Worthington, Ohio.  bah............. so much stuff still left to do.
