O Earrings, Earrings! Wherefore Art Thou O Earrings?
I know this isn’t the end of the world. I mean, seriously, there’s some major bad stuff happening in the world right now. God bless those in Haiti that are still missing loved ones and will have to rebuild their lives from the ground up. God bless those everywhere that are experiencing hunger, abuse, oppression. Please don’t think my bridezilla-ism causes me to forget that the world is bigger than my wedding…
BUT, I am a bride to be, and I think I deserve a second to fuss….
I can not find bridal earrings ANYWHERE. I have a VERY particular pair of earrings floating around my cluttered little brain and I can’t seem to find them. Maybe they don’t exist. Maybe they are merely a fictitious figment of my wedding obsessed imagination.
Here’s what I’m looking for.
• A decent sized drop earring. NOT a chandelier as I worry that chandeliers will be too 2010.
• Not too big.
• Not too small.
• Plenty of bling.
• With a pearl or two to set them off.
• I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it if the drop part of the earring had a big stone surrounded by little ones, like my beautiful e-ring.
• AND I don’t want to spend a fortune. Maybe like $50 or so.
My dear friend and BM Jennifer has graciously lent me her tiara to use as my something borrowed. I’m absolutely overwhelmed at the sentimentality of sharing something so beautiful with a friend I’ve had LITERALLY since birth (our moms met and became bff’s when they were pregnant with us!).
So the earrings I choose must compliment the beautiful tiara. Please, fellow brides to be, do you have ANY ideas???They’d be some sort of amalgamation of these:

(ALMOST perfect, but no pearl)
SOURCE
(REALLY almost perfect, but just a week bit too small and a little weak on the bling)

Why is it that every day I come across some wedding related beauty that I can not live without? As I was perusing Weddingbee today I found Miss Button’s blog and subsequently fell in love with THIS idea by Etsy seller Megan Hamilton…
Custom sketches of your wedding dress? Hel-lo, explain to me HOW I can live without one!! What a beautiful and significant heirloom. A custom piece of art to remember your special day. I’m SOLD.
Unfortunately my dress is having some custom nips and tucks done to it so I can’t submit mine until mid April. And while I’m on it… MID APRIL!!! That feels so far away. Yes, I am a member of the microwave-give-it-to-me-now culture, patience schmatience and I want to see my dress NOW! haha!
As I wait I have reoccurring dreams that my dress somehow ends up as a train wreck. Like blue sequins COVERING IT. Yes. Blue. Sequins. “I’m sorry, Miss Aluminum Bride, there’s nothing we can do about it, you should have specified what color beads you wanted… how were WE supposed to know that blue beads wouldn’t work with your theme?”. I woke up sweating.
Or how about this one. The dress comes in 7 inches too short. Yes, I saw that happen to a girl on Say Yes to the Dress, and as J always reminds me, I ALWAYS dream what I see on TV. Weird. I know. What would I do? As I said the dress is having custom nips and tucks. In my dream I squat down and walk like a sumo wrestler down the aisle.
Sigh. I know everything will work out. But until then I will worry.

Glitzy Red Dancing Shoes
Posted by Chrys in Bridal Gowns & Accessories on February 1st, 2010
Last week I got a new pair of flats from CutesyGirl and I wore them out to an event this weekend. I ran into a bride who begged to know where I got them from – she said they are exactly what she is looking for. In retrospect – she’s right – they are perfect!
They are super cute and glittery making them perfect for a formal occasion. They are flats so you can dance the night away without worry. AND – they are $15. Oh – and they come in a bunch of colors including red, purple, teal, brown and black so you can match your wedding and/or personal style.
To get yourself a pair search for Bamboo Scoot08 on CutesyGirl.
