My Dress
There is shirring on the bust of the dress, and the silver beading really pops out against my skin! The skirt is satin underneath with an organza overlay with beading on it!
I should be ordering this dress sometime in mid-late July.
If you tilt your screen back, you can see the silver detailing better!
Dress was ordered August 7, 2009, and came in around November 15. The dress fits perfectly and does not need any alterations at all! I am so in love with this dress.
My Veil
When I ordered my dress, I looked at some veils. I want a really full veil, so they are going to attach 2 together. When my dress comes in, then I will make the final decision! Well, the dress came in, and I ordered a veil, and they told me they couldn't get the edging in for the veil until after the wedding!! So I ordered another veil, and we got the same story with the different edging! So I finally ordered 2 veils from www.veilshop.com. We ordered the same veil with different thicknesses. They are due to ship on 1/25, and should be here about 2/1.
UPDATE: Both veils came in, and I really loved the less full veil. We returned the other veil with no issues. I have a 3 layer veil with a rolled edge for $70!
My Shoes
I have finally found shoes that I love. They are simple silver sandals with about a 2" heel and beading on the straps. I will post pictures when I put them on my computer! They came from Shoe Station, and they were on sale for $30!
Bridesmaid's Dress
I have chosen Wtoo Style #626 for my girls (they helped too!). The dresses will be in chocolate with an off-white sash! I am so glad we finally chose this dress!
The girls can wear whatever style shoes they want, as long as they are chocolate brown!! I don't care what style, heel height, etc... Just make sure they match the chocolate in the dress!
Groom and Groomsmen
All of the guys will look essentially the same, except that Brian will wear a different vest (and maybe tie) from the rest of his guys. I am trying to convince him they should wear brown tuxes so it will match the color scheme, but he says they will look like UPS men. It isn't that big of a deal to me, so they can wear black if that is what they want.
UPDATE:
1/7/10 -We have picked the tuxes! All of the guys will wear the same LaStrada black 2 button tux jacket. Brian will wear an ivory paisley vest with a solid ivory tie. The groomsmen will wear a chocolate paisley vest with a solid chocolate tie, and the fathers will wear a charcoal paisley vest with a solid charcoal tie. Our guys are going to look amazing for this wedding!
