Here comes the bride....
I am adding a sash under the bust with a brooch and have an underbustle. So far I have had one fitting, so hopefully next time, I can post pictures with these alterations!
Second Dress Fitting with Hair Trial
please excuse all the pins!
wedding party
My accessories
These are for outdoor photos
My fur Cape
It's a full length fur cape (interior is fur, exterior is white satin) edged in white fur, with a hood. It has since been steamed, so without wrinkles it's perfect!

An outdoor photo!
My actual shoes
These are Nina Clova's. LOVE! One of their features is a velcro fasten under the bow, so I should be able to change shoes easily with my giant gown on.

My Gloves / Bracelet
These are for the ceremony and outdoor photos. Clarissa's in Southside made them for me! There were a few glitches, so they re worked them, and I ended up finishing them. They are opera length and hit about mid bicep on me.
why are sparkly things so hard to photograph?? Looks much better in real life

My veil/ Earrings
I'm wearing my Mom's veil. This is a photo from my hair trial in October. The veil is full length (past my butt) 2 tiers that are edged in pearls, and there is a removable blusher. See dress pics!

The bridesmaids - Bill Levkoff 415
All of my bridesmaids are wearing the same dress, with elbow length silver gloves, and silver shoes of their choosing. I got them all matching silver round bead necklaces, earrings, and bracelets to accessorize. As well as matching black tote bags to carry their shoes in that day. Each bag has a different patterned Vera Bradley Luggage tag on it with their initials so they can tell their bags apart. I also got them a chinese silk pouch to keep the jewelry in.

The girls on wedding day!
Here comes the groom!
This tux isn't the right size for DF, but it's the same style. Full tails, traditional tuxedo shirt with french cuffs, and black and white shoes (not shown). He has a white vest and white bow tie that matches the pattern on everyone else's vest.
the groom's snazzy shoes
His jacket was full tails :-D
Groomsmen
This is a close up of their tie and vest. They are wearing a traditional 2 button black tuxedo jacket and matching pants with square toe matte leather shoes. This tie is a dead on ringer for the silver on the bridemaid dresses and the folds on it match the "sashes" on the bridesmaid dresses really well.

The Fathers
Both Dads are wearing a darker silver vest than the groomsmen and a traditional black tie. Their tuxedo jacket is also cut the same, but with a shinier lapel. This is my Dad in a very small coat. lol.

Mother of the Bride
Mom has ordered her dress and picked it up, but I don't have any photos of her in it. It's the same as this dress, but the dark brown is black, and the light brown is burgundy. She is adding beading all along the top, the sash, and adding a large brooch where she is holding one up. Since she is vertically challenged, our seamstress is making the extra length into a train for Mom. She's going to wear black shoes with this.
This is the actual dress colors - she is adding beading along the black parts as well as the brooch she is holding
