Online Shopping Makes For Fun and Affordable Wedding Planning

Online shopping is truly a beautiful thing. I didn’t really realize this until I began to plan my wedding last summer. The first day I started planning the big event, I turned to the nearest search engine and looked up photos of flower girl dresses, cakes and everything in between. I really just wanted to get ideas for my own wedding, but what I found was that almost everything I needed was literally right at my fingertips. I never expected to make such major wedding purchases online, but that is exactly what I’ve done. Here are some wedding items that you can easily purchase online too. The best part is, I didn’t spend a fortune on any of it!

Flower Girl Dresses
What better place to find an affordable flower girl dress than SophiasStyle.com girls clothing store? My little cousin is going to be my flower girl, and my aunt wanted to find a flower girl dress that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. SophiasStyle.com offers hundreds of cheap flower girl dresses that are truly unique and elegant. We chose this adorable pink flower girl dress for my cousin to wear. I’m using pink roses in my bouquets so this dress matches perfectly! Even the most upscale bridal salons don’t carry dresses this beautiful!

Invitations
I never thought I’d order my wedding invitations online, but I was so pleased with the looks and prices I found on a website called theamericanwedding.com . They'll send you free samples of any style you like and their invitations are very affordable  – mine cost less than $1 each!

Programs/Stationary
I was blown away by the selection of beautiful blank paper on the online store paperandmore.com . I found the perfect metallic silver paper to make our wedding programs with, for about half of what you’d pay at a craft store.  

I can’t wait until my big day when everything comes together. I think it will beautiful – all with the help of the internet!

Little Girl's Shoes Moms Will Want Too!

Do you ever see little girls clothing or girls shoes and wish they made it in your size? This happens to me nearly every time I shop and I can’t help but wish that I was five years old again, and that I could fit into all the trendy girls shoes and clothes that are out there nowadays.

Of course, it helps that I have a little girl of my own to sort of dress vicariously through, and a great place to find all the latest girls fashions. I work for SophiasStyle.com girls clothing store, so every day I see great things that I wish I could wear but instead happily dress my little girl in.

Yesterday it was this pair of adorable gold dress shoes. As soon as I saw them I began to mentally search my closet, pairing the shoes with all sorts of outfits and imagining where I would wear such a stylish pair of flats. Then, (like it does every day) it dawned on me that these were little girls shoes and not meant for Mommy. I got over it quickly though. After all, it’s just as much fun to picture my little girl in them.

You know what I’m talking about right? Ever seen anything on SophiasStyle.com that you wish you could wear too?

A Great Girls Coat For Her First Snow

I know you don’t want to hear this right now, but winter will be here before we know it. Personally, I’m pretty excited for the seasons to change. My daughter is always so excited for the first snow of the year. Seeing the joy and excitement on her face when it snows makes me think I could tolerate freezing temperatures all year round.

Part of the fun is seeing her all bundled up in a cute girls coat. She looks like a crème puff with two eyes and a cute little nose. I’m so glad I work for SophiasStyle.com girls clothing store because we have the most adorable girls outerwear that really accentuates her cuteness! I only wish I’d found SophiasStyle.com sooner, because we have a great selection of baby coats too. Who knows, maybe soon my daughter will have a baby sister to play in the snow with!

Do you remember your daughter’s first snow? We’d love to hear your stories too!

The Perfect Christmas Dress for Your Little Girl

I know they can be cheesy and cliché, but I’ll be the first to admit that I love getting Christmas cards each holiday season with my friends’ and families’ kids on them, smiling at me in a cute sweater or sweet little Christmas dresses. I am even more excited this year because for the first year I have a little girl of my own who’ll wear an adorable little Christmas dress, pose for Mommy and adorn the card I’m sending out to every friend, relative and co-worker I’ve ever met. (I’m quite the proud mother!).

Step one was finding the perfect Christmas dress that everyone would ooh and ahh over. Luckily I work for a great company called SophiasStyle.com girls clothing store that has dozens of holiday dresses to choose from. The dresses are really beautiful and reasonably priced too. I’m glad I saved on the dress because I’ll need the extra money for postage. It’s expensive to send a Christmas card to every person I’ve ever met (I’m kidding of course!)

I have to admit my daughter looks pretty darn cute posed in front of the fireplace in her black and red Christmas dress with a red bow. I think only a puppy would make the scene any cuter. I hope no one thinks it’s too cliché…

What’s the best Christmas card you ever received? Did it involve a cute dress?

I am Sophia’s grandma. Yes, that Sophia, the young lady who was the inspiration for Sophiasstyle.com. Sophia is the oldest of my four granddaughters and, having grown up in a family of brothers and then a son, there is nothing more delightful than granddaughters. Not that I don’t enjoy my brothers and my son. They are great, but girls, little girls – granddaughters – they are delightful.
I don’t live near my granddaughters. I live in Arizona while they live in places farther north but I see them as much as possible and I do enjoy shopping for them. It will still be hot in Arizona when the girls visit us toward the end of the summer. I like to have something for them when they arrive so I did a quick check with the Mom’s and then ordered four pairs of flip-flops in various sizes, a couple of the blue Zutano dresses for the toddlers, a very sporty outfit from Coco Bon Bon for the four-year old and one of Sophia’s Style Trendy Fashion Dresses for the six year old. All are part of the Summer Clearance Sale. When it’s time to dress the girls and head off to the children’s museum I will be ready and they will be – delightful!

First Birthday Party - Baby's Birthday Party Invitation Idea

Birthday Dress by SophiasStyle.com

We have started a family tradition to throw a big party for our children's first birthday. When my youngest daughter turned 1, I had a sneaky suspicion that the abundance of attention given to the 'first birthday girl' could create some sibling envy for my oldest daughter, who was 5 years old.

In order to avoid the anticipated sibling rivalry to rear its ugly head, I elected to thrust the 'big sister' into the role of throwing the best birthday party for her little sister. Her main responsibility was to design the birthday invitations. Together, we decided that the theme of the invitations would be 'Why I Love my Baby Sister.' Big sister had a blast brainstorming all of the reasons why she truly loved her little sister (some were touching, some funny and a few that were amusing). She then colored a picture to be used for the invitation.

I used our printer to make copies of her picture and the poem, so the invitations cost only pennies each to make. Here is the list:

I love my sister because:
she loves me
I get to feel her in my heart
I get to see her all the time
sometimes I get to have stuff without her
I have a real good time with her
she’s a real good little sister
she always wants me to play with her & I want to too
she laughs real funny and real loud and it’s so cute
she takes naps alot
we love each other


Sophias Style girl's clothing store offers a huges selection of birthday dresses, birthday shirts, party hats and more, all perfect for those cherished moments to be remembered forever!
