Bling

Here's my wedding set, without the center diamond obviously. I still can't take a good picture of my own ring, so I thought this would be best. Picture from Shaneco.com.

And here's Bryan's ring, white gold hammered finish. Picture from Zales.com.

Unimportant bling :)

These are similar to the earrings I will be wearing, from Kohls. I can't find the actual ones online anymore--they may have stopped selling them--but these are really close. They match an aquamarine antique ring that was my great grandmothers and that my mom is lending to me. I'm also borrowing my grandmothers pearls and wearing them as a bracelet, to match the ivory pearls on my dress. I don't have pictures of the two heirlooms, though.

Bryan and the guys will all be wearing their own black suits, along with ties we picked out. Bryan's tie is red and white striped, and the groomsmen and ushers' ties are aqua, navy, and white striped. Sorry, no pictures yet!

I have 3 bridesmaids, and they all chose whatever dress they liked as long as it was aqua satin and knee length. All have their dresses now, and they look great! despite issues trying to match aqua colors from different brands :P Here's a pic of my FSIL and her dress, by Suzy Chin for Maggie Boutique. Love the socks :) Another one is David's Bridal style: F12723 in Pool, but I can't get the picture to work. The third bridesmaid's dress I just can't find a picture of yet.

My Shoes

I love my shoes :)

They're Bandolino Fiorenza Slingbacks. Mine actually have some fake snakeskin kind of stuff where the patent leather is in this picture, but other than that these are them! I'm excited--I live for red shoes.

My dress! BRYAN--DON'T LOOK!!

Here's pictures of my dress from the website. It's Emerald Bridal style 8026. Pictures from Emeraldbridal.net.

Me in the dress!

Here's me actually in the dress!! This is before it has been altered at all, and my mom isn't exactly a photography whiz, so I apologize for the lighting issues. I love the back of the dress; it has little pearl beads all along the V back and all around the train, plus buttons all down the back (which is actually a zipper, thank goodness). The back is what sold me on the dress!

Update: Final fitting!

Here are the final fitting pictures! I hope I have better posture than this on the wedding day. Why was I slouching like that?
