Bridal expo dissappointment

I attended the Complete Wedding Expo at Bobak's Signature Events on Sunday, November 11,2018

The show was stated to run from 11:30am to 3:00pm with a fashion show at 2:00pm.
My fiance' and I went to the show about 1:45 because we thought that the vendors would be less crowded during the fashion show.

We were HUGELY disappointed because some vendors had already started breaking their booths down and many others were unmanned.

We left at 2:15. Yes~ 30 minutes and a bridal expo and we really only spoke to a photobooth vendor.
There were plenty of realtors and a home improvement booth. I really didn't feel that they fit in at the expo.
We did not encounter florists, bakeries, or wedding planners.

Flower Petal Sample

We have chosen an outdoor ceremony venue and our flower girls will be using real rose petals.
I placed an order with Petal Garden for a sample of freeze dried petals.

                                                                     Lavender

Wedding Dress

I found my dress :)
It is a Justin Alexander chiffon fit and flare gown with crystal and pearl beaded Sabrina keyhole neckline on a asymmetric ruched bodice. The natural waist is accented by an attached crystal and pearl beaded belt. The back is finished with a keyhole back, chiffon covered buttons over the back zipper and a chapel length train.

I LOVE my Tile Mate!!

First things first, this is my own opinion and I have not received any compensation from the maker.

I LOVE my Tile Mate. 

I am NOTORIOUS for losing my keys and my phone.

My son bought me a Tile Mate for Christmas  and it is the best thing EVER!!!

Blog Ressurection

I have neglected this blog FOREVER.

It's been really hard to keep up on life since my husbands death, March 29, 2014. 

I have since joined a Roller Derby team and met a wonderful man and am planning a wedding.

My posts will be a mishmash of topics. My mind kinda bounces around like Tigger.

I hope you will come along for the ride.
