Champagne Taste, Beer Budget

I was browsing the pages of Vouge a few days ago when I stumbled across the bracelet of my dreams.



It's by Tacori, which I absolutely adore. However with a starting price at 12k, it will continue to stay just where it's at: in my dreams!

Ring Bearer Woes

Oh how delightful would it be to have a ring bearer carry these moss ring holders {my my mouth to God's ears!}.

Loving Me Some Lenox!

I don't know what I was thinking about in my post here about toasting flutes and cake serving sets. It must have been temporary insanity because I absolutely hate that set now, even the cake server which didn't seem so bad at first.

My new love is for the Lenox Jubilee toasting flutes and cake server set. Check it out:

It's not a question of whether or not these will be at the wedding, because they most definitely will. Lol. The real question is do I register for them and hope that somebody buys them for my shower, or just go ahead and get them myself?

Reception Items to Mull Over

I never really wanted my own toasting flutes and cake server set, but it was only because I never seen anything that really suited my taste. I also cringe at the thought that my mother and father have NEVER used theirs since their wedding. It just sits in the china cabinet collecting dust.

However, I'm really looking forward to entertaining once Mr. Golden and I finally live together. I need to mention that we also found the song we want to cut the cake to last week, so that could have an influence on my feelings as well. Lol. Nevertheless, I vow right now before all my readers to reuse my wedding day toasting flutes and cake server!

Note: The pictures didn't post very well so I strongly suggest getting a better view here and here!

For now, this is the set I'm loosely pondering, but I guess I'll wait and see if I find something else. To be honest, the more I look at it, the more I don't like the toasting flutes. I not sure what it is, but they seem a bit gaudy to me. However I do really like the cake serving set. Ehhh, decisions, decisions. When in doubt, head to Lenox and Swarovski!

Whatever Lola Goldie Wants, Goldie Gets...hopefully!

Oddly enough, my mind hasn't had a heart-to-heart meeting with my wallet in quite some time. This weekend, it's time for the two to get re-aquainted again. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it has not registered in my head yet that there will be things I won't be able to get {what!!! tell me no? I don't think so!!!}

I'm determined to get everything I really want for my wedding but I know that Mr. Golden and I have other priorieties as well {such as where we will lay our heads after the wedding}. I think I'm still on the ground in terms of what we can swing, but there are 3 huge wedding extras that I really want. A girls' gotta do what a girls' gotta do. I'm a bride on a mission and I dare the calculator to stop me!

Ga-Ga Over Napkins

So after posting here about amazing napkin rings, I am dreaming about how lovely these would look at my wedding. The down side to being in the wedding business and planning your wedding at the same time is that you want EVERYTHING you see!

I almost died when I saw the peacock napkin ring! How freaking awesome would that be at my reception hall?!? Ok ok, I'm getting a bit besides myself with the peacocks. They don't even match my colors.

Long gone are the days of the fan napkin in the glass cup. I would love to score these napkin rings but they aren't cheap. Maybe I will just buy one set and use it for the napkins at our sweetheart table.

Can you hear me now? Good!

My phone looks like a catastrophe. I mean, it's really bad. The paint is chipping, parts are coming off and I've dropped it so many times that you can see the insides from the side of the phone. I think it's time to lay my phone to rest in mobile heaven and move on to bigger and better things. Feast your eyes on Verizon's latest beauty, the blackberry storm. I need this phone like a bride needs a groom! It comes out next week and I'm so hoping to treat myself to this as a x-mas gift.
