Happy Tuesday I wanted to share with you a real wedding today. Not only is the bride and her party gorgeous, but the photography was superb! All images shot by Matthew Morgan Photographers and edited by me.  One thing to notice here is the bridesmaids. Each wore a different black dress and different black shoes, but they all wore a dark red sash, which really tied the look together, no pun intended  Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 later today!

I have told my maids that they can wear whatever shoes they would like on the big day. But I am thinking maybe I should narrow it down to a few color choices? Just to be kind of consistent?  My maids will be wearing this dress:

I like the silver look… The guys will all be in black tuxes, but would black heels look too dark? Am I just way over-thinking this? (Bryan, don’t answer that!)  What do you think would look best? 

Speaking of shoes and colors, I love this look, found on Ritzy Bee.

Oh aaand, I received my refund from Zappos today (mean emails really do work! ) which means I am stopping by the mall to look at a few pairs of shoes! Hopefully I can find some so that I will have them for my fitting on friday! I am heading straight to BCBG to try these beauties on:

adorable grey dress. would have been nice to find a few months ago when i was searching for bm dresses, but adorable nonetheless.

We bought the flower girl dresses I can’t wait to see them on my lovely cousins!

Simple, classic, red and white roses.

Besides the bride and groom there were 3 attendants. The grooms brother, the brother’s fiance, and a friend of the bride. The 2 girls got red rose corsages.

Pretty awesome. Shot by Matthew. Check out the rest of the wedding here.

After scouring etsy for BM gift ideas, I now have way too many pictures in my etsy folder. I will slowly but surely post them all!  Here is one necklace I thought was pretty. Buy it here.

Heck yes! 3 out of 7 girls have received their dresses! This is my sister Samantha (also my awesome MOH) in hers Isn’t the color (and her) gorgeous?!  The straps have little things to hold your bra strap in so it doesn’t slide out, and I have a feeling the pockets are going to be a favorite! The only issue is with the zipper pulling up at the bottom, but I have a feeling my mom can fix that. I am so excited to see them on the other girls! Thanks J. Crew!

If I wore these shoes on my wedding day

I would get the girls hair things like this

And the boys would wear something like this

Caroline from yesterday’s peacock inspired wedding has been nice enough to share a few more details from her big day.  Bridesmaid gifts are turning out to be a difficult thing for me. I had planned on getting them these, but the price went up and lets not forget that I have 7 bridesmaids…  My mom wants me to go the jewelry route, and with the help of Caroline, I am newly inspired to start picking out the perfect pieces for each girl. Caroline gave each one of her sisters a peacock inspired necklace from etsy to wear with their green dresses. How gorgeous are they?!
