Picked up the dress. Its mine!
Got it over thanksgiving break! Still love it!
THE dress. Yup...I found it!
I'm a Maggie bride! Its Maggie Sottero Rio. LOVE IT! This pic is a size too small, but it was WONDERFUL! Its got a lace up back and beautiful illusion halter. Got it in diamond white. :-) I love it!
Shoes. I love shoes.
Stuart Weitzman Gigi Ritz. My dress was under our budget...so I could afford to splurge on my shoes. They are comfy and amazing. I'm in love!
Bridesmaid Dresses
David's Bridal F13408 My ladies love it. We will do watermelon pink with maroon sashes. Aren't they pretty?
MOB Dress.
Audrina Papell from Macy's. It arrived with a weird stain on it...so we will get another one...but my mom loves this dress and it looks great on! Yay for dresses!
ERing and Band
Set from Zales. He did so good. :-) I love them.
Hair
Found this style on theknot.com Love it! Just what I want. Pulled back, but not overly fussy looking.
Hair piece
No veil for me. Don't want one, won't wear one, don't buy it for me. But I found this lovely pearl hair pin that matches my dress. Yay for that! Its all vintage looking. I likie.
A maybe dress?
Well we went to David's to try on bridesmaid dresses and I put on a few. This one was my fave. I mean, mom didn't even cry...and I'm not sure I feel AWESOME in it. Its pretty. It fits well. I could stand it. But shouldn't I LOVE it? We are going to look again at some other places in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll find something I love.
Bridesmaid Dresses
from davidsbridal.com
Well, we haven't really gone to look, but in my internet browsing, I found this one. I like it. It's from David's Bridal. But really, I just want them all in the pink.
Wedding Dress
OK, so I haven't gone dress shopping yet (waiting until the end of summer...so I can lose a little weight first). But I am really varied in what I like in dresses. One thing I do like is a halter style. No strapless. I will not be tugging all day at a strapless or look naked in photos. But I like the poofy pintuck ballgowns and the slinky, sleek looks. I like both of these examples.
Makeup
Saw this look in the Mary Kay book. I love the eyes and natural looking lips. No red-lipped bride here.
