Engagement Photo Dress
This dress is from my favorite store: White House Black Market. It fits perfectly with the B&W colors of the wedding.
Getting Ready
I couldn't pass up on something fabulous and damask! I will wear this while having my hair & makeup done on the day of the wedding.

Church Wedding & Rehearsal Dress
I fell in love with a Priscilla of Boston dress for the church part of the wedding, but I couldn't spend that much on a dress for the church and the rehearsal. I found an Alfred Sung Bridesmaid dress that I am having altered to look the same as the Priscilla dress.
Update: I do have the Alfred Sung dress, but I don't have the time to have it changed into the PoB dress like I had wanted. Instead, I bought the WHBM dress below.

Church Wedding Veil
I love the retro look of a birdcage veil. I found one for very little money from Events and Occasions. The flower will be a b&w feather fascinator from a local bridal shop.

Wedding Gown
I don't want to chance Matt ever looking over my shoulder, here is a link to see my dress on the model.
Custom Label
This is my "something blue". I am having my name and wedding date embroidered onto a satin label and sewing that into my dress.
Wedding Veil
I made my own veil. It is similar to this photo. I do not have photos of the actual veil, yet.
The length is slightly shorter than my train. The ribbon edge is 3/8" (thinner than the photo). The sides are straight down instead.

Inspiration Photos
Headband:
I really like the sleek lines of a ballerina bun. My hair is very straight and will not hold a curl at all. My hair is also really long right now, but since I want a bigger bun, I bought some real-hair extensions that match perfectly.
The tiara look was a little too much for me. I am getting a headband instead and wrapping around the front of the bun. The brooch will be placed on the back, like the photo to the left.
Makeup
I am going to MAC at the mall before the wedding. Knotties have recommended an artist there and I will get my trial on the day of the Bridal Shower.
These photos are from a friend's wedding. I love the smokey eye and the false lashes. I don't know if the makeup will be that dramatic for the wedding, though.
