Introduction
Welcome back, guys! Today's video is another installment in my wedding series. I had an eventful day filled with wedding preparations, and I can't wait to share it all with you. But before we dive in, I want to express my gratitude to Dossier Perfumes for partnering with me on this video. Their luxurious, high-end perfumes at affordable prices kept me smelling amazing throughout the day. So, let's get into the exciting moments of my wedding journey!
Partnering with Dossier Perfumes 👃
I'm thrilled to introduce you to Dossier Perfumes, a brand that produces classic, high-end luxury perfumes at a fraction of the price. Their minimalist packaging and risk-free system caught my attention. With their sample sizes, you can try out their perfumes before making a commitment. If you're not satisfied, you can return it within their 30-day return policy for a full refund. I'm grateful to have partnered with Dossier and to spread awareness about their incredible products. It's the perfect gift for bridesmaids, bridal showers, or even a treat for yourself.
The Joy of Having My Grandpa Walk Me Down the Aisle 👴
One of the sweetest moments of my wedding preparation was asking my grandpa to walk me down the aisle. As I don't have a father figure in my life, my grandpa has filled that empty void since the day I was born. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to replace the role of a father. So, I wanted to involve him in my special day and personally give him my save-the-date invitation. The save-the-dates we chose capture the essence of our engagement photos, and I'm absolutely obsessed with them. I'll show you a picture here [insert picture] to give you a glimpse of their beauty.
A Special Brunch to Ask My Cousins to be Bridesmaids 🥐
In addition to my grandpa's involvement, I wanted to make my cousins a part of my bridal party. To pop the question, I organized a bridesmaids brunch, complete with bagels, pastries, and mimosas. It was a heartwarming moment, and I vlogged the whole experience to capture their reactions. It was a challenge to align everyone's schedules, but I managed to gather three out of my five bridesmaids for this intimate gathering. Their presence made the event even more special, and I'm grateful to have them by my side on my big day.
The Importance of a Supportive Maid of Honor 👰
Among my beloved bridesmaids is my maid of honor, who I asked privately a couple of weeks before the brunch. She holds a special place in my heart, and her support has been unwavering. Having a maid of honor who understands and shares your excitement is invaluable. I'm beyond grateful to have her standing by my side as we embark on this wedding journey together.
A Change of Plans: From Rompers to Robes 👗
Initially, I had planned to gift my bridesmaids matching rompers for us to wear on the wedding day while getting ready. However, after pre-ordering $180 worth of rompers from a well-known romper company, we encountered a sizing issue. My maid of honor tried on her medium-sized romper and discovered that it fit more like a small. I valued everyone's comfort on my special day, so I made the decision to change our attire. I ordered robes from Shein in a beautiful mauve color that aligns perfectly with my wedding theme. I asked everyone to wear black underneath to ensure a cohesive look in our photos. Although it meant accepting a sunk cost, the happiness and comfort of my bridesmaids outweighed any financial loss.
The Color Scheme and Bridesmaids' Attire 💐
For my wedding, I chose a mauve color scheme, and I wanted my bridesmaids' attire to complement it. They will be wearing matching dresses from Azazie, an online bridal boutique. To maintain consistency in our overall look, I decided for them to wear subtle pink robes with black lining. This combination will ensure that everyone looks cohesive and stunning in our wedding photos. Additionally, I'll be donning a white robe with lace detailing, adding a touch of elegance to my bridal ensemble.
Wrapping Up a Memorable Day 🎀
As the day came to an end, I had to bid farewell to the festivities and head back to the city. It was a whirlwind of emotions and preparations, but I'm grateful for every moment. The joy of asking my grandpa, cousins, and maid of honor to be a part of my wedding journey is something I'll cherish forever.
Preparing for the Wedding Invites 💌
In anticipation of the wedding invitations, we decided to opt for email invites instead of traditional paper invitations. Not only does this save costs, but it also allows for greater flexibility in guest numbers. Wedding invitations can be expensive, ranging up to a thousand dollars. By going digital, we can allocate those savings to other aspects of the wedding. We're currently in the process of designing and finalizing our virtual invites, ensuring they reflect the elegance and style of our upcoming celebration.
Conclusion
Wedding preparations are in full swing, and every step brings us closer to the big day. From partnering with Dossier Perfumes to the heartwarming moments with my grandpa, cousins, and maid of honor, it's been a special journey so far. The change from rompers to robes was unexpected but ultimately resulted in a more comfortable and cohesive look for my bridesmaids. And with the wedding invitations on the horizon, the excitement continues to build. Stay tuned for more updates in my wedding series!
