Post Wedding Blues

Both of us have felt it a little. It was basically the biggest party of our lives, everyone we loved was there, and we felt like stars.

I'll admit it to you guys - I wore the reception dress again today and the birdcage veil so I could get some pictures because I got a double french twist today (I'm an occasional hair model). Mr. Chic 'n Cheap and the parents laughed while my brother just took some pictures.

I'm also a little blue because we spent several thousand more than I anticipated. My mom, who paid for my bridesmaid dresses as a gift, told me the bridesmaids dresses were much costlier than I thought (I'm more annoyed that they were expensive and we had to go for multiple fittings for items that didn't fit right). But this is balanced with the fact that we got some very generous last minute help from family and friends that covered our costs.

It all works out in the end.

Ok will blog about flowers tomorrow. Good night!

The recovery period from a wedding

..takes at least 7 days. One week later I found myself asleep at 11 pm and waking at 11 am (antihistamine at 1 am also contributed).Give yourself a full week to recover especially if you have out of town guests. Our last guest, who stayed with us, left on Thursday.

So much to blog about.

Upcoming:

• Budget percentage breakdowns
• Fascinator DIY
• Hair
• Accessories
• A new idea where I'd like to ask for all of YOUR help

For now, xoxo,
Chic 'n Cheap
