Tiffany And Co. Bridal Shower

I have always dreamed of a themed party and thanks to my one of my best friends and my Sister, the Maid of Honor, it came true. What can possibly be more glamorous than a Tiffany & Co. themed bridal shower?

I'm Married!!!

I'm officially Mrs. Villa! I have never been this happy in my entire life. It feels like just yesterday my bridesmaids and I were getting ready in our cute pink robes sipping on mimosas. Our wedding was everything I ever dreamed of and more. As many of you know we are high-school sweethearts and have been dating for over ten years. Our whole family was looking forward to this day as much as we were. The ceremony was very emotional for all of us. Along with unlimited food and drinks we had the best night celebrating the night away dancing.

I'll have plenty of more pictures to come when we receive all of the footage from our photographer. The littlest of things make me happy. Here are some decoration around our home I couldn't wait to put up ha ha.

Ashley has a post on her blog www.AshleyAnnStyle.blogspot.com with more picture from the wedding. Make sure to check it out. 

Happy Independence day! I'll excited to kiss my hunny during the fireworks tonight, but first we have to pack because we leave tomorrow morning to Miami!

Muchos Besos,

Bridal Shower "Thank You" Cards!

Oh my gosh it's about to be a month since my last post! Yikes! I finally got around to sending out our "Thank you" cards from the Bridal Shower. I put a lot of effort into them. I couldn't help myself. You only get married once right? Hee hee. I don't want to regret not doing something simply because it was too much work. I designed my own cards with a picture from a previous photo shoot of me holding up a "letter" where I can write the message. 

Then I printed each guest a picture from the Bridal Shower photo booth, that they took and a picture of Ricardo and I. I also designed the little logo at the corner of each picture. The pictures came out great thanks to our photographer Lissy Marie Serrano Photography. 

I look a little weird in this picture but oh well ha ha. Ashley thought it was a neat idea and she approved of the picture. I hope this gives you a little inspiration on how you can personalize your next "Thank You" cards. I'll have more on the Bridal shower soon I promise!

muchos besos,

Save The Date Photo Shoot

Some of the beautiful images taken by Eivan's wonderful photography team for our "Save The Date" photo shoot. Our photographer was everything we looked for. He captured all of the butterflies I get every time Ricardo looks at me. This four hour shoot was a memory of it's own. He took over 150 images and these were a few of my favorite. We had so much fun posing and making each other laugh. If you live in the Chicago/Northwest Indiana area make sure to check out Eivan's Photography. They have great wedding packages. 

You can see more pictures on my Pinterest. 

A big thanks to Eivan's Photography who will be shooting our wedding pictures as well. 

I Said "Yes" To The Dress!!!

What every girl dreams of…. finding the perfect dress to the most important day in her life. The day she becomes one with the love of her life. I have found my prince charming, honest, sweet, caring, along with all of his un-perfectly perfections, and I'm ready to have his name. 

I never realized how much pressure it is to find the outfit that will change your life forever, your wedding dress. There are thousands of designers, fabrics, and styles to choose from. 

My bridesmaid, Ashley, booked an appointment for me at House Of Brides that currently opened early September in Orland Park. The boutique is incredibly gorgeous and the whole team is very caring and sweet. They have amazing customer service. I came in with an open mind, all I was asking for was a sweet-heart neck line to compliment my figure. Kelly, at House of Brides (request her when booking your appointment,)  made this day extra special. Thank you!

We all choose about fifteen dresses of different styles. I can't believe the dress I was destined to wear was there. When I tried it on for the first time, everyone including me started shedding tears of joy. That's when you know it's the one meant to be. 

I felt beautiful in my dress. It exactly what I was looking for. It's classy, stands out, and it's very unique. It took a few pretty pennies, but it's exclusive, off line or magazines, and is currently in the process of being made especially for me.  

Our engagement/save the date pictures just came back from the photographer! I can't wait to share them with you! Soon to be posted wink wink.

Much Love,

Beautiful Wedding Vows

 This past weekend my Fiance, Ricardo and I made a three and half hour drive to Bloomington to attend our friend's wedding. Ricardo looked so handsome in his groomsman tuxedo. Congratulations to the newlyweds Samantha and Danny Ader. 

They had some of the most beautiful vows, and watching the Groom cry always brings tears to my eyes. We had one of the most amazing weekends. It was full of unforgettable moments, laugher, inside jokes, partying, and dancing.  It made me more excited to plan our wedding.

Much Love,

Belinda Selene
