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!! 💕💖

    Laura, forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but do you have anything new to share? If not, no worries. We have so many in our group I don't want anyone to feel left out. You all are getting so close and its extremely exciting!! 😙 Are you doing a honeymoon shoot in Paris? Some friends of mine did and they have these gorgeous, moody, bit of fog black & white pics that look like they are for a magazine. Just a thought. 💕

    Hello!

    Sorry for being so MIA, I actually have been in the middle of my ballet company's touring season and let's just say that the stress of 60+ hour work weeks and wedding planning has been A LOT to deal with....so glad the wedding day is almost here--I can't believe it! We're getting so excited.

    I don't have pictures on hand to share, but will try to later tonight....

    That is such a neat idea to do a honeymoon shoot! Do you happen to have the name of the photographer that your friend used? I would LOVE to do something like that... Smiley heart

    Oh wow!! On tour AND wedding planning? Yes, let's triple that stress. I adore ballet. Watching. ❤ Its such hard work, but you all make it look effortless.

    If you don't have pics to share, no worries. We don't want to add more stress.

    I do not have the name of the photographer. I just called to see if they had the information and they don't. Their travel agent booked it for them. What about the concierge at your hotel? You know they'd know someone for you. I hope you get to do that shoot. It would be amazing!! Thanks for taking time to share. 😙

    Did you guys realize tomorrow is NOVEMBER?!

    Where has the time gone?! Invites have been sent and are due for me this weekend (though it's looking like I'll have to harass some people next week).

    My bachelorette party is this weekend! With my wedding being like the week after Thanksgiving we had to do it much earlier to help with those who have to travel for it, also my sister is already super pregnant and I wanted her there for at least the dinner and hanging out during the day.

    Also- look what I got!!

    CAKE TOPPER!December 2019 Brides, Let's chat......❤ 1

    It's so good- there's a girl on Etsy who did it and it looks so great! I love it so much!

    I've got a dress fitting this weekend and then my last fitting and hair and makeup trial are all only 15 days away! Ahh- its getting too real. Last-ish meeting with my vendor on Monday means I have to have everything mostly finalized by then! Crazy how fast time moves when you're so busy!

    How's everyone else doing? Any other Dec 7th brides freaking out with me yet??

    Hi ChefKait!!! Yes, I'm going crazy since the calender has hit Nov and I'm not December 7th!!! It still means I get married NEXT MONTH!! Most of us do, unless you are a fall bride, getting married this month, or winter bride, January or February!! We have some.

    You'll have to tell us all about your Bachelorette Party!!! Can't wait to hear about it and see pics.

    LOVE your cake topper!! I wish I'd seen that! I'd ordered one in honor of Gaston. It's perfect. I do have him included in our topper. I adore yours. So cute!! She did an excellent job. So glad you shared this!! ❤🐶

    Thanks for the awesome update. Hang in there. You are doing great!! Can't wait for your next one. 😙

    Yes, can’t believe it’s NOVEMBER! I’m a December 8 bride, and I cannot believe how fast everything is approaching. I had my shower yesterday, and it was perfect and so much fun!!
    I’m doing a big photo dump of pictures from the shower, pictures of my wedding dress, venue, bridesmaid dresses, my hair trial (my bridesmaid is doing it!) and flower inspiration.
    We’re doing little boxes of tea as wedding favors (DIY—I used to work at a tea shop), and I’m making our cake topper (little polymer clay figurines of both of us!), and I’m in the process of trying to finalize ceremony order and vows and all that good stuff.
    also trying to decide if I should have programs or not, and same thing with escort cards! We’ll have a seating chart, but my mom is requesting assigned seating at her table, so I’m wondering if I should print my own place cards....
    Thoughts?
    Anyways, enjoy for anyone who wants to look through!! We’re getting so close!

    Victorian bride, congrats on the new pup!! she is beautiful❤️ breaks my heart that people abuse animals.

    we also just got a new pup, a shiba inu puppy! we named her suki, which means “to love” in japanese (shiba inus are a japanese breed) she’s soooooo bad & soooooo stubborn but we knew when we got this breed that they are a lot of work. we aren’t sure if we are going to incorporate her into the wedding like we are with stella (drink names, photos, etc) only because we just got her & she isn’t in our engagement pics. & stella is our heart dog (the dog that no dog will ever ever replace)😊

    sorry about being so MIA, work is crazy and school is crazier!! props to everyone here planning a wedding while also working, getting their degree, etc. it’s not easy. we are all wonder women!!!!

    colorado is so beautiful, it’s snowed three times already & the pups love it. we’ve got our invitations done, & my step dad ordered some custom stamps with our engagement pictures on them. only thing left is figuring out floral arrangements!!!

    Hi Laura!! My sincerest apologies I'm just responding. Please don't feel ignored. My fiancé is very ill right now and we still have alot to do. 😨 He's contagious so he's not really helping. He'll be fine, but I'm carrying the weight now. I know I'm at 39 days and so many of you are so much closer!! I know posting is not high on everyone's list, but I hope everyone keeps posting!! It's getting real!! 🤗 Love your hair!! Beautiful. Your gown, veil, and stole are gorgeous!! We aren't having programs since we are having a Christmas wedding. Montgomery, my fiancé, wanted those pretty fan programs, but they aren't needed in December!! 😂 Your shower looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing those special pics!! I'm doing place cards at both this elopement/ private ceremony and at our huge black tie reception in the Spring. Let us know what you decide on place cards. Thanks for this great post!! Stay in touch!! ❤

    Sorry I've been MIA!

    Here are some fun pics from my "Fall in Love" themed bridal shower and Harry Potter themed bachelorette! (I told my girls I didn't want to do a bar crawl...so we went out to dinner, went to a painting place near us called "Merlot and a Masterpiece." Slept overnight at one of my 'maids place, and the next morning after breakfast we did an escape room!

    Also did my hair and makeup trial and found my shoes!

    Almost all my RSVPs are back, thank goodness. Just hunting down two or three people.

    Hi Kate!!
    So glad you checked in! ❤ My apologies I've not answered. I know you understand!! Smiley winking It is difficult to plan a wedding with jobs, degrees, moving and everything else we have going on. Sadie is doing well. Beginning to look like a Boxer that's been fed and loved.

    I love Sadie and I think she is beginning to love and trust me, but Gaston was my heart. He always will be. It's been 5 months today and the pain of his loss is still profound.
    Love the pics of Stella and new baby in the snow!! MS had our first light dusting yesterday. Suki is precious!! I'm not familiar with her breed. Will she be a large dog? I can relate to stubborn & michevious puppies. Gaston chewed almost through an antique dining table leg ( Boxers have those powerful jaws), don't know how many rolls of toilet paper was shredded while he was a puppy. Boxers are in the puppy stage for 3 long years. Lol! I know Suki will give you much joy- you just maybe exhausted!! 😂 I think you are doing the right thing. Since Stella is in your engagement pics, I think she should be more prominent. Not that you couldn't do a signature ' non-alcoholic' signature beverage in Suki's name for those who do not drink (since she is a baby).
    Congrats on the invitations. Can't wait to hear about your floral arrangements!! Take care!! Big hug!!

    It was a chocolate cake, and an escape room is an activity where you are "locked" in a room and you have one hour to solve clues and puzzles in the room to find the way out. They often have themes, like murder mystery, medical lab "find a cure before time runs out", Egyptian tomb, etc. We did a spy/CIA-themed room.

    Yes! The one thing I might change is to go with a darker lip.
