B-pics!!!

B-pics, short for boudoir pictures is a knot craze for wedding gifts for your new hubby. Unfortunately, I crapped around and waited too long to decide to do this so they won't be a wedding gift to Mike. However, I found a photographer, who comes recommended by some of the CFL knotties, that's available to do a b-pic session on February 15. Perfect since I'm landed in the sunshine state on the 14th. Tabitha from Ultimate Image Weddings, has a blog that displays a few of her b-pics that she's taken in the past. She does wonderful work. Unfortunately my wedding day photographer is unable to do a b-pic session or I would've done them with her. Her pictures are amazing also.

So, I've made a few purchases in preparation for my sexy session. The regular lingerie out there, but my fave is this officer arrest me outfit:
I ordered some black patent leather peep toe pumps to go with it. Whew! This is going to be hottt! I can't wait. Hair and make-up is included in the fee so I'll be dolled up and ready to shoot! The best part is a few of my girls are going too so we should have a blast.

My clutch arrived!

And it's perfect! Matches perfectly with my shoes. I'll have to post a pic soon. eBay has been my best friend so far.

On another note, I spoke to my photographer today and she only needed one more girl to sign up for the b-pic session for February. Well, I told my knottie girls and they all emailed her so we should have enough to make it a go. I just hope we can agree on a date that works for me.

I'll be back with pics.....On to stuff these boxes of invitations to be mailed tomorrow.

Updates....

2 months and 9 days to go! Whoo hoo!

Time is flying. Well, the bridal salon called me today to schedule my first fitting. Yay! I go in Jan. 5. This means that I need to have all my stuff together (veil, shoes, jewelry, etc.) to try on everything at once. I'm worried my jewelry may not work, but I'll see soon enough.

Right now, I'm working on finding a stylist for the bridal party. Worse case scenario, I'll pay my beautician, who's a guest, to do their hair. She's doing my hair as a gift and even if I had to pay her I would; she's been doing my hair since I was 14 years old! My DOC is working on getting me prices now so I'll know something by early next week.

Lastly, I think our rehearsal dinner location is going to change. As bad as I want to have it at Bahama Breeze, they don't have seating to have us all at the same table. Basically, we would be seated in the same vicinity, but at different tables. Not cool. And to get a private area, is at least $1000 that we're not willing to spend. So, my DOC mentioned a few places: Houlihans is one. More pricier menu but totally private. The other option is Bucca di Peppa. Italian restaurant in the Florida Mall that serves food family style. Cheaper option and semi-private. I'm going to call them tomorrow to get more details and then decide something so we can reserve a place asap.

Oh, one more thing. My girl Robyn took some fab B-pics recently. I am so interested in doing this but because I'm in NJ and my photographer is in FL, I'm limited to only being able to do them the week before my wedding. I actually emailed her about doing a Feb session because there are other girls who are interested as well. I hope she has some availability before my wedding date. I'm waiting to hear from her so we can do this!

That's it for now. Stay tuned....
