Now, because our venue (Mr. Poodle’s grandparents’ ranch) is really dusty, I decided to go with a simple plain puffy tulle bottom, so that way the fabric wont catch as much dust.
But the top is not going to be like the picture you’re about to see. Don’t worry, I’ll have the “girls” well covered! 
This is one of the signature dresses by my favorite designer, Monique Lhuillier: Swan Lake.

This dress gives you another idea of the look.
As for the hair inspirations, I’d like big waves and a flower on the side. This sounds so much like my dream hairstyle! 
I’m not really a “pearls” kind of girl. Actually, I don’t have anything with pearls on them, but I feel so tempted to go with pearls when I see these kinds of pictures!!

I also wanted colored shoes, and I can’t help but jump on the “colored shoe bandwagon”. I wasn’t sure about which color; I’ll either go with green or purple. (My feet want to wear purple - but I feel bad I’m leaving Mr. Poodle’s color behind! )

Once you chose your dress, was it easy or hard for you to choose the accessories to go with it? Did your dress call for a specific type of accessories, or were the options seemingly limitless?
Haha, too funny that our pearl-mentioning posts went up back-to-back!
I JUST saw the Monique Lhuillier dress on preowned wedding dresses dot com!!! I am LOVING it! I’m sure you’ll be gorgeous! And…ahem…PURPLE shoes!! maybe a green garter??
When I read about you wanting pearls, I laughed because of Miss Bru’s earlier post!
I love love love those green shoes! I’ve been searching for some that exact color - can you tell me where they’re from? Thanks!
My dress had small crystals on the top so it went well with my jewelry set….swarovski crystals. The hairstyles are lovely!
Hey - if your feet want purple, give them purple! 
Make your sash or garter green so as not to leave his favorite behind. (Or maybe purple with a green toebuckle?)
Those dresses are absolutely beautiful!
You are going to be one STUNNING bride! I can already tell you’re going to be one of my “Bee Idols”. I love everything about your wedding so far! 
*swooooon* I love the tulle in that dress! I cannot wait to see your creation
Just because I’m totally curious, did you draft you pattern yourself, and are you giving us a rough how to? Pretty please! I’m currently in the process of making myself a petticoat for mine seeing as my navy shoes seem to be too hard to find.
@Miss Bruschetta: lol
@lalalandTN: I drool every time I see it!
@mdarrah: I like you
@Miss Labrador: your so sweet!!!
@365 : I was thinking about posting the “how to” for the dress. or at least post about how I cut and put together all the pieces
definitely purple shoes…maybe some green crystal shoe clips??
@Miss Mouse: You shouldn’t have said that - I might end up doing it! lol
EEEE. I am so excited to see this dress of yours!! I’d definitely go for the pop of bright shoes!
I did feel like the possibilities for accessories were limitless, so in order to not feel overwhelmed, I sketched out the neckline of my dress and played around with different types of necklaces - once I “designed” it in my head, I used alchemy on Etsy & found the perfect designer to make it!
I am partial to green, but I would say that if you find the shoe that you love, just go with it, regardless of if it is purple or green!
Oooh also just had another epiphany - have you seen the design your own shoe from Nina? http://ninashoes.com/dyo.aspx You can pick from 3 different shoe styles and from varying heel heights, and then you are able to pick what color the shoes are…the main body of the shoe, the heel, and the bow/toe/etc can all have different colors selected! Perhaps you could do purple AND green!!!!
Ooh I’m loving those pearls and the green shoes. I’m not much of a pearl girl either, but every time I see them I want them!
@Mrs. Quiche: your idea is so cool I could totally do that, thank you!
@KatieBug3017: I loved that web page! I couldn’t find purple tho 
they had green and a cool hot pink, ohh I would have love to do “purple & green”
Ohhh bollocks…I was afraid of that…otherwise it would have been just perfect! I was toying with the idea of doing green and ivory combo myself…but then I found my fabulous yellow snakeskin lovelies and I was hooked!

Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.
