Bridesmaids

I had such a hard time trying to figure out my bridesmaids' dresses.  I would find dresses that I loved, but most don't come in any color that would work with my sunset colored wedding theme.  After searching, I finally found a dress at David's Bridal that works.  It is in the Watermelon color, and looks beautiful.  It's strapless and floor-length, and it's made of a satin.  The dress has adorable pockets, which all of my bridesmaids are in love with, and it's very flattering on everyone (we have a range of sizes among the girls). I am actually SO relieved that all of my bridesmaids say how much they love the dress.  I didn't want to force the girls to wear something they didn't like, and it's great that everyone's happy!

Bridesmaids' Jewelry

Picture
This set is by Etsy seller KarinAllie, and I bought each of my bridesmaids this set for the wedding.  I liked the simplicity of this jewelry and the price was SO reasonable.  They even come on cards that are personalized with the bridesmaid's name!  Plus, I think there's a chance that the girls could wear this again, which is even better.

My Wedding Dress!

I went to three shops before finding the best dresses, and it came down to two great gowns.  One was more sweet and traditional, the other was more modern, unique and different.  My mom cried when I tried on the traditional dress, but I wound up choosing the modern and unique dress (which she said she loved too).  It's a Lili Isaac ballgown made of diamond white satin.  It has a slight sweetheart neckline and is ruched through the body and bust area.  The dress has a dropped waist, and the bottom has a few pickups on it.  The dress also has some fabric flowers on the sides with pearls and crystals running through them.  The dress has chapel length train which will look great bustled.

Wedding Shoes

I've had quite a long search for my bridal shoes.  I found these, Kate Spade Miranda.  I needed to find shoes with a low heel (2" or less) for comfort's sake.  I'm not usually a bow person, but I think these are really cute.  I also ordered another pair of low heeled white satin shoes and a pair of white satin flats as backups in case these hurt my feet!

Jewelry

I found this necklace on Etsy from the seller luxedeluxe.  I love it!  It looks beautiful in person and the seller was great with communication.  I requested to have this necklace made in an 18" length versus the standard 16" length, which is perfect.  Anything shorter would have been a choker.

Hair Accessories

I purchased these silk flower hairpins from Etsy seller HARTfeltart.  They arrived in great shape and look just like the picture.  They are white with rhinestone centers.

Florida Reception Dress

Picture
This dress is also from David's Bridal.  I love it's simplicity and more casual style, while still being white and somewhat "bridal".  It will be perfect for our informal party in Tampa.  I'll probably wear it with colored shoes and some blingy jewelry.

Brooch

Picture
This is the brooch that I ordered from WhiteAisle.com.  It's 2.5" in diameter, which was about as big as I could find.  I will be wearing it on the waistline of my Florida reception dress to give it some sparkle, and it will be offset to the right. 

Groom and Groomsmen's Attire

Picture
We are going to get the tuxes from Men's Warehouse.  We pretty much had to go with them because they're the only major tux rental place with locations in Delaware, Pennsylvania and Florida.  We chose the 2-button Calvin Klein tux because the fabric was lighter than the other less-expensive option.  FI will wear a white vest and white tie, the dads will wear silver vests and silver ties, and the groomsmen and ushers will wear black vests and black ties.
