Bride's Attire

I don't want to put my dress up here because I want it to be a surprise for my FI. 

Hair

I will be wearing my hair up with using these headbands - I got the inspiration from Alyssa Milano when she was married and People magazine featured her wedding.  I bought the ribbon headband from http://www.weddingfactorydirect.com/hp-8204-white.html for less than $20.

I love how the back of her hair looks.  I hope I can pull off the headband look with this hair do.  If not, I have a starfish hairpiece.

Shoes...

I am searching high and low for some aqua shoes, but haven't came across any.  And since I am in a cast, I will wait til closer to the wedding.  I really do not want to get dyables but I think i might have to.  I do however want a picture for my FI with my grey Uggs on he bought me when we first started dating. 

Update:  I found some aqua shoes from Debs Shops, they are out of the aqua but this is the style.

I put rhinestones on my shoes. 

Bridal Jewelry

I had wanted to make a haute wedding bracelet but when shopping for supplies to make these, my FI found a starfish brooch, which is perfect for our wedding.  I love how it turned out.  I want to find some chadelier earrings, and my Grandma sent me her pearl necklace to wear. 

Bridesmaids


Bridesmaid's dresses
We ordered these from Alfred Angelo, they are pool with espresso underlay and an espresso sash.  My bm Kim and I searched for dresses and everyone liked this one and it looks great on them all.  Plus because my bm were spread all across Nebraska, Indiana, and San Diego, Alfred Angelo was a vendor that is located all over the US.  I am letting the ladies decide shoes they want to wear, if it is flip flops, heels, or barefoot - I do not care.  I have been in so many weddings where I had to buy certain shoes and then I wore them 1 time only.  I am also letting my bm's chose their own jewelry for the same reason.  I do have a "Man of Honor" - he will wear what the groomsmen are wearing.

So after I purchased a few brooches and found my starfish one, I decided to make my 3 BMs each a different bracelet.  I tailored them to each of their style.  If they do not wear it, I am fine with it.

Flower Girls and Ring Bearer

My niece and my FI's youngest daughter will be our flower girls, and my FI's oldest daughter will be our ring bearer.  I searched high and low for dresses, everything looked like the girls would be little brides or princesses.  I did not want that, I wanted something that was not too fancy.  Finally, I found dresses that fit all of them @ Kohl's, better yet, they were on sale for $23 each!  I plan on getting them flip flops or sandals to match. 
For jewelry my FI found starfish and sand dollar silver necklaces to go with our starfish theme.  I also made them simple pearl bracelets for them.
