What I wore for my Wedding reception.....

Me and my hubby Wedding Day photo!

AND

    

We came back to Canada in March after getting married in india in feb 2012. And about 2 weekends ago, we had our reception party for Canadian friends and family. This is what we wore for our reception! I wore a yellow saree - with a "discoball" blouse bec it had studs all over it!

I chose to do my hair in a bun with a flower pinned. I liked the look of it, it looked good in a hairdo. I don't have any closeups yet (sorry).


Since I cant dance in saree, I changed into one of my punjabi suits pink-green with sequins.

 Us with Ryan side of the family

Last but not least, our wedding cake was so us. 7 years ago, when Ryan asked me out, he asked me out with a blue rose (since blue is my fav color) and so had to choose blue roses on the cake. we chose to do initials instead of cake toppers and peacock feathers bec the reception was decorated peacock themed.



Our night was very special and the wedding was a much celebratory event. I am greatful to have Ryan as my hubby and his parents as my in-laws.

Hope you enjoyed the photos! :) And these aren't the professional photos.

Family Christmas Dinner Outfit 2011

Dress: Suzy Sheir, Necklace: Ardene's, Cardi: Old Navy

This is what I wore to Christmas family get together at my Fiance parents place yesterday. I love the cut of this dress, the neckline design and it can totally be used as a cocktail dress on some other occassions, I am sure. I kept it simple with a black cardi and necklace. 

It was alot of family fun, it was good to sit with grandparents and listening to their stories, played cards with the cusions whom I get to see once a year, had holiday tea with the moms, and filled my tummy with some awesome turkey and stuffing yummies :)

I am so greatful for everyone being healthy and happy in my circle of family and friends. 2012 is a huge year for R and I and we can not wait for all the wedding festivities to begin...

I hope you had a best christmas this year and hope people are happy and healthy on your end too.

How Was Your Christmas?

•All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt! - Lucy Van Pelt

Thrift Outfit - $16

We had Chocolate Fondue with fruit (yumm!!). Dianne is busy melting chocolate above

Easter themed muffins, Donuts, Homemade cinnamon buns, Angel food cake

Floral Printed shirt and George Nude wedges

Yes, that is right, I will be having lots of chocolate this weeekend!! :) Happy EaStEr!

In case you missed last episode of Tippy tuesdays (you can find it here). I talked about budgeting tool to keep track of our everyday finances. For those of you who read it, did you like the idea? i need feedback!

We had Easter themed party at work and OMG! I skipped lunch bec I got myself filled with such wonderful goodies instead.

I am loving the long weekend - FRI-SAT-sUN-moN OFF!!!!!!!! yeehaw! =)

I might be going thrift shopping soon..I am on a hunt for a maxi dress, maxi skirt and maybe a pleated skirt.

Ryan (my fiancee and I) are also thinking of going ring shopping this weekend or maybe next weekend. For those who dont know, we are getting married in Feb 2012 in India. After much thought, I have decided to go not with a diamond ring but with Sapphire (as it is my birth stone and Sept has been lucky for me as Ryan and I started dating in Sept) Does that make me weird that I don't want Diamond. I want my wedding ring to have some personal value to it (whether it would be diamond or sapphire) and plus Sapphire is Gorgeous.

So this is my first thirfty outfit, Let me explain. The floral shirt is 3.99$ and pants $7.00 and grey shirt is $5.00 so total outfit cost is $16. Not bad eh? Oh but nude wedges are by George from Wal-mart - $20 (I love them!) and they are comfy too.

What did you think of my first thrift outfit?

Hope you will have a relaxing fun-filled weekend with family or friends - however you choose to spend it! xoxo
