I'd love to meet you all, know what your colors are, inspiration, theme, what your gown looks like, where you are getting married, and any other details you may wish to share. Together we can all plan the most perfect December weddings!

We are having a private Christmas wedding in Natchez, MS at a fabulous historic mansion now an Inn. Can't wait!! We will have about 12 guests ( immediate family and witnesses). It's 3 hours from our hometown. So a mini destination wedding. Our colors are pale pink, burgundy, ivory, and rose gold. My wedding gown is a warm, pale pink named Meena by Martin Thornburg. My shoes are Jimmy Choo's that I bought on FARFETCH for a bargain. I love how sparkly they are. My purse is sitting in my skirt ruffles and its by Mary Frances ( that is the true color of my dress, more warm pink than in designer pics). I'm a veil designer so I'm hoping to have a hatbox cake similar to this, but a bit more elaborate. Ha! Ha! We are planning a 3:00pm ceremony. We are going to mini-moon at this Inn in their gorgeous bridal suite. Planning a very large black-tie wedding reception for May. Here are a few photos of what we have going on so far for our Christmas Wedding. I have fallen in love with that bouquet. Another WW bride had it as her photo and she kindly sent it to me.

The fur-baby pictured is my 13 1/2 year old service dog named Gaston. He will be our Pup Of Honor, God-willing.

I hope we all become the best of friends during this most exciting and stressful times of our lives!! 😂 Big hug to each of you!! 💕💖

    YES!! After months of dealing with dress regret, I bought a new dress last weekend! It is definitely THE DRESS. Mom and I both cried. She was so relieved I got a dress I was happy with.

    Wow Kate!! Moving from hot, humid Louisiana ( love Louisiana since I grew up there) will be a big change to the lower humidity of Colorado. Not to mention totally different scenery. That was a big move. Congratulations to both of you in your new jobs!! You have so much exciting news. Enjoy your showers. They sound lovely!!

    I love Curaçao!! So beautiful. You will have wonderful memories!! You'll have to share some honeymoon pics.

    Thank you so much for the condolences over my sweet boy, Gaston. I still have a huge hole in my heart. Gaston and I did everything together. You are right, SO hard to lose them. It's been almost 2 months. The Boxer I was going to get a puppy from miscarried on August 1st. So I feel another loss. Sure was looking forward to having a new Boxer baby to train as a future service dog. It takes awhile. They have to grow up, first. So now I wait. My breeder hopes to have puppies by Christmas. So we'll see. I truly appreciate you and all the others here who are supporting me. I feel the love!! It helps tremendously. ❤

    Good luck with Grad school. Thank you for the great update. Take care and check-in when you can!! xoxo

    We just had our menu tasting last night, so we've got that all decided! We also know our cake flavors (classic vanilla and chocolate, but also a seasonal spice cake! yum!) My maids all have their dresses in -- plus for the getting ready shoot I bought flannel shirts in coordinating colors. We also have our rings - my engagement ring was one-of-a-kind, so we needed to get our wedding rings custom designed to match. All I need to figure out still is transportation for day-of and ceremony musicians. We're getting married at my alma mater, so once students return to campus our ceremony coordinator will be reaching out to music students--we'd love to have a string quartet for the ceremony, and we have a great School of Music right here, so it's perfect. Oh, and we need to figure out formal wear for the guys. We were told to come back in August when they had their fall and winter styles in, so that should happen soon.

    I'm also down 15 pounds! And more to go in the next four months! #sweatingforthewedding

    Wow! Carly, what a great update. It's so exciting!! Your cake flavors are YUM!!! ha! ha! I love everything! Your vision is coming together beautifully!! I think a string quartet would be AWESOME. I'd love a string quartet, but I have a very talented violinist, who will play Canon in D for my processional. I hope you do get the quartet. And congrats on the weight loss. That is amazing!! Thrilled for you. Thank you for the fabulous update. Keep sharing. Your wedding is going to be so beautiful!! ❤

    Hey everyone! I would Love to know the color of you mother of the bride dresS. My mom is wearing red but I read that it is a color that should not be worn. It doesn’t make much sense to me because it’s a holiday wedding.

    I am letting my mom and FH’s mom pick any color they want Smiley smile knowing my mom she’ll probably pick purple (which is one of our colors) and his mom will probably pick a shade of blue (also one of our colors! Haha!) probably dark blue, our bridesmaids are wearing bright blue so it’ll be different regardless Smiley smile
    I also think with your mom wearing red to a holiday wedding will be just fine Smiley smile especially since it’s you and your fiancés big day, if neither of you are opposed to it then who says it’s not ok? Lol

    My mom is wearing eggplant. What about if she wears burgundy instead of red? Or is burgundy already in your color scheme?
