BRIDE'S ATTIRE
...aka Big Bird
The hunt is still on for Big Bird. This is an Angelina Facenda collection Mori Lee Style 1221. It's a beautiful organza gown with a dropped waist, beaded waist embellishment, tulle ruffles, and you guessed it---FEATHERS!! lol Thus the reason my mom dubbed it Big Bird. Unfortunately, my consultant put me in this lovely dress that was over my budget and I haphazardly fell in love. Sheesh!! Now I'm looking for Big Bird or maybe his cousin, skinny bird, little bird,...etc..
*Edit---I removed the pic of Big Bird the dress and put this funny one up.. Don't want any buyer's remorse to come over me

Update!!!!--The Hunt is OVER!!!--
On Saturday 8/6/11 I said Yes to the dress! And no it wasn't Big Bird. It is very pretty and I think it really fits me and my personality. I call it my Barbie Dress. :) And of course I had to order it in a Petite. I thought about posting it here..but Jessie already knows too much about it...Don't want to him to figure it out. Text me and I'll send you a pic or you can come with me when it arrives in the store on Halloween! :) (October 31st). I have a feeling it will be here much sooner though. Here's a pic of Mari and me after saying Yes to the dress!. Can you tell we were excited? LOL!!! So much we couldn't get the camera straight...hahahaha!
*Also below is the Fiance-Proof version of my dress....*side-eye to Jessie*.... ;) love you sweetie.

Shoes--UPDATE!! NO MORE LOOKING FOR THESE TODDLER SHOES!! click for details
So...*sigh*...when I went to pick up my dress I was horrified to find out that I could see my ankles when I pulled up the dress. After a bit of straightening and some pulling here and there..finally the dress was at its correct length...UNTIL..I put on my shoes. Granted the heels I brought with me were 4.5 inches tall. I was a little bummed to find out that the tallest heel I could have was 2" if measuring from the back of the shoe or 1" if measuring from in front of the heel. I'm so short, and I am used to wearing heels-HIGH heels at that. So I've been looking everywhere for some affordable low heels that won't make my dress an ankle spanker. I have hope! :) Also, I look at this to be a good thing because I stand at work usually 8-10 hrs straight and my legs and knees have been killing me lately. Here are a couple of shoes I've found. * I've also decided that if I find a reasonable pair that's "too plain" I'll turn that into another DIY project! ;) oh yeah!
Hair
Here is my Hair Inspiration. I put together several pictures I liked on Project Wedding and made an Inspiration Board.
Definitely loving Tyra's do! :D It's also my mom's favorite. It's just a classy do. I love it!!! Kinda reminds me of Barbie ;)
*I added another pic of the Tyra do. :) I even love the makeup! So simple and chic!

GROOM'S ATTIRE
To be determined...:)
We may go look together at some things when I visit in October! I'm excited to see what he will choose as Jessie is a snazzy fellow. Gotta love that Pretty Chocolate Man...
We've been talking about a dark grey/charcoal suit, but honestly I really have no clue what look he's really going for. Whatever he decides I know it will be awesome!
