Just a Teaser from the Bridal Shoot:

Can you tell who photobombed the session?

How about who photobombed this picture?

Hint: We don't know him at all!

Photography

     Last weekend, Courtney had a bridal photography session on the OU campus. The leaves were turning orange and fall was in the air. (It was also pretty cold and Courtney had to put on a jacket between shots.) The photographer for the event was Steph Bidelspach and you can check out some of the photography she's done in the past on her website: http://stephbidelspachphotography.com/  Since Steph was recently married herself, she knows exactly how it feels to be the bride as well as the photographer. 

    The few pictures from this session that I've seen are absolutely beautiful, but we can't share them with you yet. Guess you will all have to wait and see them at the wedding. And speaking of the wedding, has everyone sent in their RSVP's to Courtney and Jeff? If you haven't yet, make sure to send them off as soon as possible so that they can get a head count for the amount of food and drinkage they need to order. 
 
    They are meeting with Bobbicakes next week to finalize cake flavors. (I have my fingers crossed the lemon cupcakes make the running!)

     A last tidbit of wedding news is that dresses for the flower girls have been (mostly) finalized.  And that the bridesmaids shall be wearing beautiful headbands to go along with their updos. Ooooh, ahhhh. They kind of remind me of butterflies. Maybe it is metaphorical statement from Courtney? No, I won't even go there.

Engagement Photos

Today we took a few photos of Jeff and Courtney so that they can make their save the dates for the wedding. Here are an example of what the save the date might look like:

Say "Yes" to the dress?

Courtney tries on dresses!

     Hello everyone, it's Kate writing a post to tell you a little bit about our first experience dress shopping yesterday. To introduce myself, I am a bridesmaid and one of Courtney's friends since middle school. Anyway, I'll get back to the more important matter of The Dress.

    Courtney and I looked at dresses the other day online and from that, I got a few clues as to what she was looking for in her wedding dress: classic, lace, A-line, and vintage were just a couple of the words I picked up on from the dresses she showed me. A few days later, I got a text asking if we wanted to go up to David's Bridal in the city to take a look in person. Heck Yes! 

Lily, wedding dress extraordinaire

   So Kelcie, Courtney, Debbie (Court's mom), and I all started out on an adventure Saturday afternoon. Once we got there, it was a bit overwhelming being surrounded by a million static-charged dresses and lots of happy engaged brides, but soon our lovely David's Bridal Assistant, Lily, emerged to help us wade through the options. 

    Almost everything looked amazing on Courtney (yes, all 12 dresses), but she somehow managed to narrow it down to two options, both of which embodied "classic, lace, and vintage." However, each of these gowns had their own vibe and will create two very different weddings. We left undecided. 

Check them out below and make your vote as to which dress Courtney should pick:

Option 1: All Over Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown

                Highlights: cap sleeve, lace overlay, beading, train

Option 2: All Over Lace Patchwork A Line Gown

                Highlights: strapless, tiered lace on skirt, fitted bodice
