Bride
I'm so incredibly excited about my dress!! I went to 5 different boutiques and tried on 25-30+ dresses before I found "the one". It's very me - classy up top, and fun on the bottom!

I really wanted to incorporate my favorite color and one of our main wedding colors - yellow - into my dress. I originally wanted to do that with a sash, but that would just cover up the beautiful ruching and beading. So I found this PERFECT veil on etsy that I'm going to dye white-to-yellow ombre and turn into a detachable train! I'll update the final result in DIY when I finish it.

_My jewelry!! These earrings are being custom-made by a
sweet, wonderful seller on etsy. Since my dress has rhinestones
scattered with the rest of the beading, I was looking for something just
like this, but with rhinestones as well (plus, I now have a diamond
tennis bracelet that I'll be wearing, and want to tie that in with the
rest of my jewelry). The seller is going to take out a few pearls and
replace them with rhinestone spheres for a little extra sparkle!

My reception jewelry! I bought this as a set when I was still going for a vintage look for the wedding (I have no patience - when I find something I like, I buy it!) I don't want to take my bracelet and custom jewelry on our honeymoon, so since these were pretty inexpensive, I won't feel so bad if something happens to them. :) I'll be wearing these with a cocktail dress after about halfway through the reception, once it's down to just dancing the rest of the night away.
_My headpiece!!!! For the longest time, I couldn't quite decide what I
wanted to wear, until I stumbled upon this beauty. :) The crystal
brooch will be different than the one pictured, but I think it will be
perfect and make my bridal look complete!

These are my shoes!!!!! Super-excited about them. Instructions are posted in DIY. This was about a 10 hour project and took over 3000 rhinestones...but I'd say it was well worth it!

Bridesmaids
My two bridesmaids will be wearing this beautiful Dessy creation in platinum or frost with buttercup sashes to go with the predominant yellow-silver color scheme. They will wear silver shoes and jewelry of their choosing.

The Guys
Mr. Big, his groomsmen, and my Man of Honor will be wearing simple black suits with various tie/pocket square color combinations. The officiants will just have suits with black ties. Modern, sophisticated, and handsome!

Flower Girl
Our flower girl (my cousin of sorts...one of those "second cousin once removed" kind of things that I don't understand) will wear this, or something very similar! I love the poof of this dress - fun, but not princessy. The lower layers of tulle would be yellow, and the outer layers would be white. I've made a yellow flower clip for her to wear in her hair.
