A New Look, A New Journey!!

Hello friends!! Today I found out that I have 6 faithful followers - to each of you - a deep, hearty THANK YOU for sticking it out with my boring blog over the last year or so...! But as you can see... Black Tie White Dress just received a darling makeover!!

Many thanks to my talented, beautiful friend Marina of Penny Lane Designs for updating our little bloggy blog - I can hardly stand it I think her design is so cute! And.... it is PERFECT for the fork in the road that this blog is taking...

If you remember back to 2008, this blog began as a way to keep our family and friends informed on the wedding plans being made for BJ and I's wonderful day - October 11... and so it only seems appropriate that now we give our family and friends a REASON to tune back in as plans are being made, changes are all around and a BABY is being formed in my belly!! C-R-A-Z-Y!!



Stay tuned for updates, pictures and our musings as we prepare to introduce our first little miracle into the world... we are ever so humbled by this blessing from our Savior... join us as we celebrate, anticipate and pray for Baby Rector until their arrival in late July!!

Psalm 127:3
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Cheerleading Tryouts

If you have ever been through any sort of team tryout, audition, or interview, you know the waiting period can be a little bit stressful.... and well, that gives you an idea of how the hunt for our reception location has been since our engagement. BJ and I wanted to find a location that we felt "suits" us... so, the search began a while ago, to say the least. Enjoy this process alongside of us: 1. Dallas Museum of Art--who wouldn't want to have their reception here? The Hamon Atrium is absolutely perfect for the bride and groom who like to work with bare bones--slate floors, concrete infrastructure, and a 5 story glass wall with colorful blown glass cascading down. Not only that, but it really taps in to BJ's "artistic" side. So, we get all worked up over the DMA to find out that well, weddings are taking back seat due to the arrival of King Tut. Yes, He and all his artefactual glory are coming to Dallas in October, and well, until about 2 weeks ago, wedding

The Sister of Honor...

Its time for our readers to get to know some of our bridal party... and there is no better place to start than with your maid of honor!   For those of you who don't know my younger sister Katie, growing up she was my sidekick, my stage-hand, my monkey that would bang the cymbals if I asked.... basically, if I was the center of attention, she was right there to introduce me, applaud me, or be my partner in crime.   So now as we have both "grown" up, and its time for me to make the biggest decision of my life, it means the world to me that there Katie will be.... right by my side, my-stage hand, making me look better and supporting me as I change my last name once and for all. Just so we are clear, there was, however, one time when I was furious that Katie shared my stage.... when I was about 6 years old I was determined I would be a childhood star.  So my parents, indulging me in this dream, let me audition for a kids movie called "The Donut Man".  Katie, 3 at th

Crowdsourced Group Gift Guide 2020

Okay, so admittedly I am not a blogger in the sense that I do not actually know what I am doing.... so friends, bear with me - humor me, maybe - as I attempt to simply put all of the amazing ideas that so many people shared with me when I asked about gifts for Tripp, my 9 year old son, this Christmas.  I'll start with this - there are the usual suspects that if they were recommended once, they were recommended a dozen times... and it would come as no surprise, I imagine, that they included all things Lego, Nerf and _______ boards.   But there we tons of other ideas that were honestly new, to me, and I would love to share them with you! I've put them in somewhat of a category... and linked them all! Let me know what you purchase or if you have other ideas to add to this awesome resource!  Hope this is a blessing to all us parents of boys, ages 8-13 , shopping this season!
