Texas Twosome: I Become a Bride!

December 20th, 2010 @ 10:39 am by Mrs. Plaid

It was finally time for my beautiful bridesmaids to put on their dresses and for me to become a bride! This part of the day is definitely told better by pictures, so here we go! (This is a super heavy picture post.)

I grabbed my dress,

gathered all my girls’ gorgeous blue dresses,

and collected all my accessories.

My vintage-inspired blue topaz necklace and earrings to match my engagement ring,

my gorgeous veil and my “something borrowed” garter,

my awesome shoes (notice something different?),

and my handmade bouquet (with my “something old” Grandma’s engagement ring for the 1950s attached)!

My mom helped me into my dress.

Then she fastened my necklace around my neck

and I put my earrings on.

Then I attached my veil,

slid my garter up my leg,

and sprayed some perfume.

Now came my difficult decision of the day. I had to decide which shoes I wanted to wear. If you remember, I originally bought some Steve Madden shoes, but then decided they were too tall for the dress. So then I bought some new ones and glitterized them. But on the day of the wedding I still couldn’t decide which shoes I wanted to wear so I brought them both with me to the venue. I figured I’d decide once I got my outfit on.

Hmmm…which shoe should I wear?

Steve Maddens it is!

I almost bought that dress and wore it with a royal blue sash! I ended up with something different, but it makes me so happy to see your wearing it and looking beautiful. Now I can live vicariously through you : )
