The Bride Wardrobe My Dress All I knew before dress shopping was that I wanted a dress with a sweetheart neckline and something flowy and beachy. I never had a “That’s the one†moment while shopping, but after visiting a couple of shops, I found one that both my mom and I loved. It is by Casablanca. My Shoes I found my shoes at JC Penney. They were cheap, looked dressy enough, had a heal, yet were easy to walk in . . score! My Jewelry I decided on a pair of simple dangle earrings from David’s Bridal and a bracelet I found at JC Penney. My veil I was in shock at how expensive veils were at all of the bridal shops, and being frugal, I refused to pay $100-200 on a veil I would only keep on for an hour at tops. So I looked on ebay and found this gem for under $30. (I don't have a picture of the veil alone) My Hair Flower Again, an area I refused to spend a lot of money on. I found my flower at Hobby Lobby for $2.99 and then sewed a pretty rhinestone button I found at Wal-Mart to the middle of it to dress it up some and ta da! TTD We decided to do a TTD shoot with my friend and sister, who are both photographers, two days after the wedding. After a lot of searching, I was lucky enough to bid and snag a beautiful unused wedding dress in my size on ebay for $99 and free shipping. It was such a steal! Overall, I am so happy we did this shoot. It was a blast and I was so happy with the pictures. These are just a few of my faves! My Getting Ready Outfit I found a pink romper for myself and a grey one for my MOH a few days before we left. I super glued a rhinestone “I DO†peel and stick sticker to the leg of mine. I also wore a white “Bride†robe that I had received as a present and my sister wore a pink one that I bought her with hers! The Groom Wardrobe The Suit We purchased my groom’s suit online on sale from Express (bad fit-and we had a ton of alteration. I would not recommend), his white shirt from Hugo Boss, and I found a personalized initial handkerchief on Ebay. He wore a brown belt and some brown closed toe shoes he already had. TTD Outift Oops- I totally forgot to get my groom his outfit until last minute. So for our TTD session, my groom wore a plain white collared shirt and khaki pants we picked up at Wal Mart the day before we left. The sleeves were a little short, but we rolled them up and it worked out fine! Wedding Party Attire Best Man/ FOG and MOH/SOB He wore a white collared shirt with sleeves rolled up and matching express khaki pants. She wore a short yellow strapless dress from that she found at a boutique in Cali, a yellow flower in her hair, and a pair of silver sandals she already had. Our ring bearer also wore a plain white collared shirt with khaki pants. We bought his shell from Hobby Lobby, and I painted some subtle glitter on it to add some shine and filled it up with sand.
