Just for Laughs!

I can hear it now

"YOUR POSTING PICTURES OF YOUR WEDDING DRESS?"

Well FIRST it's not my wedding dress

and SECOND...it looks horrrrrridddd!!!!

I LOOK LIKE A

DOWN

COMFORTER!!!!

(P.S. PICK UP SKIRTS WERE SOOO LAST YEAR)

The Lodge at Cathedral Pines, Colorado Springs, CO.

This is the place where I will become Mrs. Bradley Halbert

The main entrance

The huge fireplace that I love.

(Couches would be gone dance floor in front of fireplace)

I love the "Colorado" flair!

The ceremony will be outside amongst the Cathedral Pine trees. It's located in "Black forest park" in Colorado Springs! It's a beautiful drive to the location. You are right across the highway from the air force academy and the beautiful rocky mountains!

There is an outside beautiful bridge with water falls going to a lake where the ceremony will take place.

2 days..

It's been two days since I've seen my Fiance..it's the longest we've gone since being engaged...

I miss him!

Bridesmaid Dresses Option's

Alvina Valenta

I'm still searching, so far these are some I like.

I'm thinking the BM will feel more comfortable with a strap.

hmm..

I think this one is the top favorite so far(below)

I like this one too, it seems flowy for the curvy BM

P.s. I will annouce the names of the bridal party as soon as we ask them!

Look what I found..

I love Target Clearance..

You might be seeing these in the mail after the wedding....
Check it out Menu's for the reception! this is a sample menu they provide,
but the "Menu" is on all of the blank cards.
Plus it was only $2.98 for 30 so I got 2 packs!

Did I mention I love TARGET CLEARANCE..

Venue Option #3 Mount Vernon Country Club

I know..I said I would never do a country club....but it's not a golf club at least...

Ceremony Option #2 @ M.V.C.C.

the deck we'd get married on
chairs would be set up along here

Music would be placed under there

Reception Option #1 @ M.V.C.C.

Standing on part of the dance floor by the fireplace.
Little bit of view
These tables and chairs would be gone. 6-7 round tables seating 10. covered chairs.
dance floor

Reception/Ceremony Option #2 at M.V.C.C.

Dad standing on the porch where the white chairs would be set up.
The reception room, I'd get chair covers. Possibly put fabric on the ceiling draping
the dance floor...ignore the ulgy carpet

Break from wedding details..

Tonight Dad, Mom and my Fiance (Hehe) went to The Denver Brass concert entitled "hot,hot,hot" salsa night, at Denver University

(Dad got free tickets for working on all their horns! )

Here is a picture before we left. it was 39 degrees rainy and FOGGY! brr..

Dad and Mom at the theater..blurry couldn't use flash
Yes there were salsa dancers..Yes they where obnoxius!!

Conductor

My Life for the next 8 months..

Sleepless nights full of reading

Mix in a little dreaming about becoming
Mrs.Bradley H*

it makes for a pretty great night!

(I love this frame! 2.00 dollars @ tuesday mornings)

*I'd put last names but I don't want stalkers...

Happy One Week!

I love my Fiance!

Flowers

So I am REALLY loving Hydrangea's and the color! ....what do you think?

Option #2 Villa Parker

The gates leading up to the Villa

These pictures don't give it justice!

In the picture above they are going to be adding a vineyard, a garden, parking lot all by March so in time for a June wedding! yay!
The courtyard where the ceremony would take place
Inside ballroom it's windows everywhere you can see the mountains and garden etc!
The girls lounge...plus there is a HUGE bathroom and changing area with Shag carpet!!

The details

12 hour rental time.

You have reign of the entire Villa plus grounds for 12 hours!!

It's way cheaper then Arrowhead ...I'm leaning towards this one!

We have another meeting tomorrow afternoon with my dad and the Villa to discuss options

Option #1 Arrowhead

There are 2 different options with Arrowhead.

1) use the banquet room and have the ceremony on the circle area in the picture above

2) To have the ceremony on the driving range and the reception in the tent. (picture below)

It is absolutely breath taking view there..however the view comes with a price. We are considering doing a Tuesday/Thursday wedding vs. a Saturday wedding because prices are so expensive on Saturdays!

It Has Begun..
