Bridesmaids

Picture
My bridesmaids will be wearing Watters Too style 261 floor length in chile with an Ivory sash and lace. The juniors  will have the matching style number 44262.

The picture to the right is a rough representation of what it'll look like in my color and length. I took a color swatch from another dress on the website and photoshop'ed it in.

The Guys

I kind of hate the idea of guys in pink. Since the girls are in a bright pink color, the guys will be using more orange. They'll have black vests instead of the orange ones here and orange ties. Cliff will wear white on white. He also wants to wear the black and white shoes to be a little different. I think he's jealous of my pink shoes. :)

Traditions

Something old.
Grandmother's pearls.
Something new.
My dress.
Something borrowed.

Cousins necklace
Something blue.
My garter. (tiny blue bow on it!)
Picture
My garter was purchased from Etsy seller garterlady! It's so bright and exactly what I wanted!

I wasn't going to post pictures of my dress here, but for a girl who hates surprises, why am I doing that? lol. If you care to see - here's my dress. It's Maggie Sottero Addison and it took me three trips back to "visit" the dress before I decided it was the one. I was sicker than sick this day, but I'm so happy I finally made the decision. The sample was champagne but I purchased the dress in white.

01/15/10 These are my inspiration shoes. They are from David's Bridal and are called Martina. I want them in Watermelon - as shown. The problem with this pair is that when I walk my foot slides right out. So, I think I need more of a peep toe rather than a whole row of toes out.

02/05/10 These are the shoes I decided to go with. Very similar to my inspiration shoes except the strap on the top holds my foot in so no sliding out the front! yay! They are Coloriffics - Tori and I'm still going to have them dyed to be the same color as the girls dresses.

02/05/10 first fitting!

I love love LOVE this dress! I'm so happy I finally decided it was the one and it finally "feels" like the one to me. PS. I've lost 30 lbs since we bought it but you can really only see it in my face in these pics.
