happy new year!

Happy New Year everyone! Ryan and I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday. Now it is back to the grind!

Saturday morning before the New Years festivities began, my mom and I rode into Philadelphia to check out a bridal shop on 4th Street in search of my veil and a comb. The shop specializes in combs and veils only so the perfect hair accessories HAD to be there for me. At first glance I didn’t think there would be anything I really liked after looking around a bit, but she had some beautiful pieces tucked away. She pulled out piece after piece to show me after I had decided what kind of veil I wanted, and after a few test combs, I’d found the one! I left the store without it because I wanted to go home and look online one more time to be 100% sure. I looked for hours at other combs but none compared to that one so that was it! I found the veil I wanted for a lot less online than the lady could get it for me, so I am in the process of ordering that as well. I’m so excited, my look is coming together!

Next weekend we are making the trek back to Jersey so a couple of my girls can try on bridesmaid dresses to help decide on the final style and hopefully we will be putting that order in by the end of this month. I also have a makeup trial next Saturday, so that will be fun too. Lots going on, with LOTS more to do!

I do want to note that MANY of our hotel rooms have booked already, so if you are planning to stay over the night of the wedding we highly recommend you make your way over to the hotels and accommodations page. There are a few rooms left in the blocks at the Hyatt and the Doubletree, or if you prefer to stay at another hotel there are some wonderful suggestions listed on that page as well. Let us know if you have any questions!
