About Mrs. Socks

Right after our first look, we made our way two blocks from the hotel to Rittenhouse Square for our formal portraits. I was a little nervous about having our pictures taken at Rittenhouse since it’s a fairly bustling area, full of people, dogs, and sometimes unpredictable homeless people. We pressed on anyway, and though we did see a few pretty funny sites around the park (a cat being walked on a leash, a homeless guy dressed like a clown), our pictures turned out really well!

Here we are with Dad Socks, Momma Socks, Sister Socks and BIL Socks!

Since Dad Socks has worked in the watch industry all my life, we’re all pretty big watch fanatics, so we wanted to show it off:

Overall, I think that the bouts that I made for the guys turned out really well. They’re a bright pop of color, and didn’t wilt! And, for any of you who are toying with the idea of mismatched suits and dresses…well, I might be biased, but I think our bridal party was looking pretty gooood.

See? Everyone looks pretty darn dapper despite not being matchy-matchy! I love that each member of our bridal party looks like an individual!

Next up, we took a ride to Old City in Philadelphia for all of our bridal party photos!

Did you end up with a mismatched bridal party? How did it turn out for you?

I love the mismatch look. Also..as a plus-sized cutie with a big ‘ole booty, I LOVE the fact that the dress your BM is wearing is flattering to her figure. What flower did you use to make the guys bouts?

Can I ask where you got your bridesmaid dresses? I apologize in advance if you already posted where they were from somewhere else!

The not matchy-matchy looks great! It’s rare to see the men in non-matching suits and it totally works with this! Also the watch pic is cute :)

You guys look great! Also, my FI was concerned about non-matching suits for the men, so I showed him your pictures. His fears are gone. Thank you!
