Spring Fever

I am obsessed with yellow right now. Specifically yellow flowers. Etsy has become a very dangerous place...

a flower for my hair

i got my hair clip from brasspaperclip in the mail yesterday & it's fabulous! it's really even better than its picture.



also, if you are considering purchasing something from her, do it! she is so great to work with and got the clip to me incredibly fast. i purchase it friday & received it monday. i can't wait to wear it!

thanks ginger!

the veil decision is a big accessory decision for a bride. birdcage? long? fingertip? none? plain? lacey? so many choices!

my sister wore a fingertip veil at her wedding. i struggled with what i wanted to do in the veil area. did i even want to wear one? should i wear hers? although it's good luck to wear the veil of a happily married woman, i decided that i wanted to wear a different veil than my sister's. i had fallen in love with the cathedral length veils...

(pootiekin's knot bio)

so, after i decided on the kind of veil, i started searching online. you can spend a LOT on a viel, and i didn't want to...and i'm pretty sure i succeeded. i found a cathedral length, cut-edge veil on ebay from ginger4wedding for a whole $18.44, including shipping. i don't have a picture of me in the veil, but here it is in the seller's picture.



i can't wait to see everything together :D

a-tisket, a-tasket, a sunny yellow basket

i bought a flower girl basket for charlie this morning. i found it on the blog of a same-sex couple who's planning their wedding called twobrides. she posted some cute things she had recently found on etsy. i hope she didn't actually want the basket b/c i snatched it up pretty quickly.

it's handmade by brasspaperclip from a sunny yellow vintage doily. the handle is made of creamy ivory pearls and the whole thing is accented with crisp vintage silk ribbons on either side of the handle. i think it's so pretty and unique. now, we just need a dress to match.

hairstyles i like

i know that i want my hair up. i like how curly and kind of loose these styles are. i really like the first one, complete with the hairpin. i actually found some hairpins very similar to that one on etsy without realizing it. i like that it's simple & not overpowering or distracting but natural and beautiful at the same time. i'm definitely not a tiara girl.

sparkle sparkle

after our time spent in jewelry stores, i became obsessed with wedding jewelry. what's makes this funnier is that i haven't even seen a dress on me. but oh well, it's still fun to look. i don't know what my jewelry ensemble will entail...big earrings, no necklace? small earrings, big necklace? big earrings, small neckalce? bracelet? diamonds (or things that look like diamonds)? pearls (or things that look like pearls? neither? oh, the choices!







(i'm sorry i can't remember where these pictures came from...i will try to figure it out & update)
