Pig in full wedding preparation mode…it's pretty surreal to think I'm going to be a married woman, but amazing..and I can't wait to take on Bear's last name!
Before I set on looking for anything for the wedding, I spent hours researching styles and comparing it to what I'm comfortable wearing and paying. I think that putting some information up might be useful for someone looking for an elegant, yet low-key, classic look. Below is my board of inspiration:
Finding the wedding dress wasn't hard at all, thanks to my maid of honor, we made it happen baby! I wasn't keen on a traditional white wedding gown, and we found an amazing Tadashi Shoji off-the-shoulder lace gown in antique beige. It has a beautiful neckline with scalloped trim, the color is so beautiful and I really like lace...
So this past week I found the shoes I wanted - Tahari Colette nude pumps. Beautiful. I've been secretly wanting nude pumps, and I know I'll be wearing those shoes a lot, not just for the wedding. DSW is the place.
I got some ivory satin ribbon at the fabric store, $8, it'll serve me as a sash, with a bow right above my tush, because I find it so darn cute.
I work at a fine jewelry company and I chose a 3 strand pearl bracelet as well as pearl-and-diamond cluster earrings that I'm going to borrow for the occasion..score!
Last thing is hair and makeup - looking for a 60's inspired makeup, cat eye, big lashes, subtle lips. Hair - teased and tousled updo, not a stiff bridal look. I want to feel sexy and alluring, not virginal. To each their own ;-P
