Putting the wedding look together
5 Feb
How do you know you’ve picked the right dress? Well, one way to tell is if you squeal like a twelve-year-old when you get the email telling you that your dress has shipped. And oh, did I squeal. It’ll be here on Thursday, and I’ve already arranged to head to a bridesmaid’s house to try it on that night. I also got what I’m planning to wear as my wedding necklace this week, meaning that I can take my first look at myself in the actual things I’ll wear on my wedding day.
Here’s the necklace and earrings I plan to wear:
(Worn with the dress I’ll be wearing to someone else’s wedding in a month or so. Imagine I’m wearing something white and strapless instead!)
Here’s a closer shot of the necklace:
They’re available on Etsy for a really reasonable price, and the seller can change the length of the necklace and the color of the pearls to suit your taste.
And these are my beloved rainbow shoes:
I saw these on a style blog and immediately knew I had to have them– something I don’t say often, but I mean it here. Aside from the obvious pride reference, they’re deeply meaningful to me because my middle name is– literally–Rainbow, and wearing rainbow colors makes me feel carefree and happy like I’m a kid again– definitely a feeling I’d like to inspire my wedding day. My dress is long and fairly full, so these shoes will be a hidden flash of color (a modern trend I really like). Plus, they cover my “something blue”!
