Looking for and interviewing vendors is exciting  because it means that this whole wedding thing is actually happening. It's great to watch things begin to come together!

At the same time, it can occasionally be a little stressful or frustrating, especially if you're working on a budget. When I start feeling overwhelmed, a little comic relief tends to bring me back down to earth.  These videos I found on youtube cracked me up, and got me ready for the next round of talks with cupcake bakers and photobooth owners.

While looking for a pair of dress shoes two weeks ago, for a night out with hubby, I stepped into a Deb store at our local mall and just love almost all their shoes.

I've added some below for you to feast your eyes on and keep in mind that they are all under $40!

These beautiful shoes are perfect for a bride who's searching for a pair of "something blue" shoes for her wedding day. I love the color, it's royal blue, and the satin sheen of the design gives these stilettos such a rich look that your guests would think you spent at least five times the $22.80 price tag. For me, it's the florette on the side of the heel that makes these shoes really special and you can find them right here at Forever21.com available in sizes 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10!
