Mrs. Sand Dollar, Houston Age and Occupation: 24, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Electrical Technician Engagement Date: January 8, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: MacLean Park About Me: I'm a domestic diva down to the core. I heart cooking, sewing, baking, decorating and making sure we have a hand-crafted home. The best part about the wedding is I get to incorporate it all! I make sure I put my art degree to good use by screen printing, craft knife cutting, and a whole lotta graphic design. We're having a big-time party on a small-time budget, and I promise to show you a boot-scootin', barbecue-eatin', finger-lickin' good time! Mr. Sand Dollar and I spend most of our time on DIY projects or traipsing around the outdoors with our two pooches Rory and Juno. I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with all of you!

The SD bridesmaids have an easy lot in life. As our wedding is pretty darn casual, we decided to make things as simple as possible for the guys and gals standing up with us. I wanted my ladies to love me without having to spend an extra dime on a dress and shoes and accessories just for one day. So, I decided: Let them wear black! Every lady has a LBD, and this will add to the country-chic vibe we’ve got going. Bridesmaid N above is modeling her choice, and I believe she already wore it in another wedding. Double duty!

Sister SD shows me her choice as well (though I may convince her to wear the black ruffle Express dress—I wore the pink one at our San Marcos Shindig). The one request I made was for them to wear cowboy boots. Every gal has a pair, and I don’t even care what color they are. I’ve seen brown boots go great with a black dress when there’s a boho leather belt involved. I know one is going red, and a couple will wear black. I really hope they play it up with loads of chunky jewelry and fun accessories. And the butterfly bouquets will really pop against the black!

Anybody else letting her bridesmaids wear their own dresses? What did they pick?
