Well, maybe not completely packed, but I do have all of my wedding day accessories finalized! The shoes took a while to find, and I searched and searched for earrings and a clutch, but I’m finally ready!
I found a wonderful website called Evening Elegance that has a HUGE selection of evening bags. I was looking for something that didn’t cost a fortune but didn’t look inexpensive. There are a ton of color selections, and my bag arrived just two days after I ordered it.
I purchased my earrings from Emitations.com and actually tried out a few pairs and just returned the ones I didn’t want. That way I was able to see them with my dress and get Champ’s opinion.
Champ sent me flowers for my birthday this summer, and they came with a tiny bottle of Vera Wang’s “Sheer Veil”. The first time I smelled it, I knew this would be my wedding day scent, so I’ve been rationing this little bad boy for MONTHS!
Remember the horns on my veil?
Well, I brought my veil to my seamstress, and it went from this:
To this:
Notice the progression of my unibrow? Nice, huh. That appointment is tomorrow, thank God. It’s been tough not to pick up the tweezers.
I forgot to take a picture of my hair flower before I sent it to Vail, but I purchased a gorgeous silk flower from Etsy seller Mikiye:
And every girl has a pair of dancin’ shoes. I’ll do the more traditional champagne colored shoes for the ceremony and then a quick switcheroo for the reception. Mine are almost like ballroom shoes, and super comfortable.
How long did it take you to collect everything you’ll wear on your wedding day?

Your accessories are perfectly pretty! Nice redo on the veil–you look like Victoria Beckham a little in that pic!
Thanks for the heads’ up Miss Champ for the jewelry and accessories pics and links! Some great resources as yours are beautiful (esp the bracelet). Your veil is gorgeous and they all really “come together” well. Love the red dancin’ shoes.
yay for the veil fix!! I love the accessories and the info, I have been looking around for a purse. And I like the smart shoes switch, I’ve been thinking of doing the same I hate it when the night is ruined from foot pain. I’m excited for your wedding!
Ahh, so exciting! All of your accessories are beautiful! love the earrings and bag especially.. and the flower…actually I love it all. You are going to be SUCH A PRETTY BRIDE! I can’t wait to see your pics!! (Oh and PS- I hate our engagement pics b/c they suck, we are not showing anyone unless it’s to get a laugh, they are embarassingly awful! We switched photographers after that disaster!!)
Where did you get your champagne shoes? I love them!
I ditto Kristin - where did you find the heels with the bow?
ooooh I got a flower hair clip from Mikiye too! She’s awesome.
Love the bracelet!! It’s a great alternative to gloves!
Love seeing all the little deets! Your clutch is amazingly gorgeous!
I only have my shoes. I have been thinking about putting a flower in my hair. I love yours. Thanks for the link.
It all looks great!! I love the flower! And where’d you find the red shoes (I’m on an obsessive shoe hunt lately)? :o)
Where did you get your shoes??? I’m looking for some sassy shoes that I can dance in too!
i’m so excited to see how your wedding comes together soon….i love all your winter wedding details.
OMG! how much did you pay for that flower??? they’re only $10 @ Michaels!
I had to laugh when I read your post…I am dreading not being able to pluck my eyebrows in order to wax them for the wedding! I’m already trying to time it so I won’t have hairy eyebrows for my shower and bachelorette party!
Everything looks great and I can’t wait to see it all together!
@Kirsten: @Emily: @melissaofMandMWedding: I got the champagne shoes at DSW and they are mootsie tootsies. Here’s the link: http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/catalog/product.jsp?index=21&category=&prodId=183776&brand=300243
@amyrose: @piggs2002: The red shoes are from zappos.com. They’re super comfortable and I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to dance the night away! Here’s the link for them: http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7415977/c/589.html
The bracelet was my something borrowed- it’s Mrs. Tiramisu and I believe she got it at Nordstrom. Could be wrong, so I’ll check on that.
I love your accessories Miss Champ! I stumbled upon that website (the one where you got your clutch) for my wedding and it really is awesome! We bought a few items from there.
Love all of your accessories!!! I can’t wait to see it all together for your big day! 
It all looks so lovely! I’m still trying to pull my whole wedding day look together, but I still have time. Now all I have to do is wait to see all your beauties with your dress

About Me: I'm a small town mountain girl with a city heart. Found my way to the east coast, and Mr. Champagne kept me here so we're planning a wedding from afar in my hometown Vail, Colorado. I'm secretly obsessed with reality TV, Wii games where I can shoot a gun, country music, and Caesar: Dog Whisperer. I also spend time pretending to golf, backseat driving, having one way conversations with our MinPin Maxwell, loving champagne, and wedding perfecting… I mean, planning. I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…
