Picturing the Rhyme

September 30th, 2009 @ 4:42 pm by Mrs. Stiletto

We are of course waiting for our fabulous photographer to give us our full disc of wedding photos, but we were lucky enough to see a big blog post from her this week! Since I’m sure the bees who have gone before me would encourage me to wait until I have all of the pictures to then decide how to do my recaps, I shall force myself to wait!

But…

That doesn’t mean I can’t share with y’all my “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”. I didn’t have nice pictures of everything before the wedding to share!

Without further ado…

Something Old

My earrings and necklace were made from vintage chandelier pieces. Aren’t they gorgeous?! Swoon. I can’t rave enough about the fabulosity of Precious Meshes. I also had lace from my mother’s wedding dress as a something old, but I want to wait to share pictures of my bouquet, so you’ll just have to wait for further recaps!

Something New

What wasn’t new during the wedding planning process? But, my official “something new” would have to be my fabulous Nine West shoes. At $40 they were a steal, and I definitely felt like I rocked these puppies!

Something Borrowed

I was at a loss about this one until the lovely Mrs. Avocado offered to loan me her birdcage veil. I loved it! I absolutely do not regret not having a long, traditional veil. The birdcage was fun, vintage, and fabulous. I wore it the entire night - during pictures we ended up wrapping it to make somewhat of an avante garde netted poof on the top of my head, and it was equally fabulous. Thank you again, Mrs. Avocado!

Something Blue

Even though I didn’t do a garter toss, I still had my cute blue garter. I’m glad we ended up not doing either toss… taking out some of those rituals meant we had more time for dancing and fun!

Please note: All photos are credited to Laurie Peacock Photography.

I hope this satiates my hunger for recaps a little bit more and that you enjoy these tasty little tidbits from our day!

Did you manage to find fun little items to complete the “something old” rhyme, or did you decide to buck tradition all together?

Looks like the bows on your shoes were a something blue, too! Right?

We’re bucking the tradition along with the garter/bouquet toss, and parent/child dances. We’re rebels! LOL LOVE your choices though!

@Mrs. Bruschetta: & @pmerr: they’re actually black, no blue, but the light is making them look a wee bit navy!

@RecessionistaBride: Emily is a doll to work with!

@tea: ha, I’m sure the shoes will show up again…

I am my something blue! My dress is a gorgeous deep sapphire blue, and given that it’s a January wedding I may also be blue (!)

Love the shoes

Beautiful photos! And I couldn’t resist; I clicked through to the slideshow on Laurie Peacock’s site. Looking forward to your recaps, especially of the reception because we had the same venue and I can’t wait to see how you decorated the space! Hope you were happy with the 19th Century Club and Cucina Paradiso. We were thrilled with the space, the service and the food.
