100 Days and Counting - Wedding Shoes Badgley Mischka Ever After Embellished Sandal

You may remember I posted in late January on what was supposed to be 100 days before my original wedding date that we were postponing. It was a very hard and sad decision but ultimately the right one so now the countdown is back on and we have hit the 100 day mark.  I am in a number of bride to be facebook groups and seeing the other girls who are October 30th “date twins” have started to make me much more excited.

Since I got engaged more than a year ago I have been using the checklist from the Knot as a source of truth and a guideline on when I should be doing certain things in the wedding planning process. At the hundred day mark there are quite a few things that are listed it feels good that I am either done or making progress on all of them;

  • Once you’ve found your cake baker, it’s time to officially order your wedding cake.   We have ordered it!
  • If you want your invitations professionally addressed, hire a calligrapher.  We are not doing calligraphy but the invites have been ordered and are currently being made!
  • Attend your shower! Living abroad and it still being a pandemic sadly I am not having one so we can just cross this one off.
  • Hire wedding day transport (like limousines or party buses). We have a plan for transport but have yet to book it, a good reminder to do so!

As part of the Facebook bride group one of the UK girls posted a picture of a wedding checklist poster that she bought on Etsy. I didn’t think I needed more things however I thought it was really cute and that scratching off things and seeing the bright colors would help me get excited. Especially as this Scratch Off Wedding Planning Poster was only £10 I purchased it. I had fun scratching things off when it arrived, and now it is hanging up as a gentle reminder of the things to do.

Some of them are easy, like book a date, however others are a good reminder like find my something blue. Others, are nearly done, but I don’t want to check them off until we are settled, for example we have our drinks reception after the ceremony nearly complete but we have yet to decide and finalize the drink options so just a good reminder for me to do that. So far I have scratched off 40 of the 81 and hope to take a few more off by the end of the month. One of these is to wear in my wedding shoes which I’ve started doing but need to do more of and you can see a picture of these Badgley Mischka Ever After Embellished beauties insert link in this below:

    You are so smart to break in those shoes. They are so pretty that you are going to wear them for as long as possible.

    I hope that all the guests get to see them as they are really something special. You might just have to pick your dress up at some point and wow the crowd with those beauties.

    So many little details to remember but I am sure your wedding is going to be over the moon.

    Doesn’t hurt that you are so beautiful that you will be the most stunning bride ever.

    Good luck with the final details Kelly.

    Those shoes are to die for and certainly fits the name of your blog. Lots of sparkles.

    My sister is getting really serious with her boyfriend and just sent her this post. I wouldn’t be surprised if she copies your very stylish and pretty shoe choice.

    Great call.
