Attire
For the girls...
My dress was so easy to find that I knew it would take FOREVER to find the bridesmaids dresses, and it has! It took about 10 stores, 3 months, and over 50 dresses to find the one we chose. The hardest thing has been to find the right color purple I want! We finally went with Mori Lee style 345!
I loved this Da Vinci dress but they don't make in the right color, therefore, I'm having to go with my 2nd choice. I like on my Matron of Honor, too bad its the wrong color purple! Below are a few other dresses I liked, but not the winners...
For the guys...
All the men will be sporting the Men's Wearhouse 2-button pin-stripped tux with black shoes. This is the overall look.
My FI will be wearing a white vest with a purple tie that will match the GMs' vests.
The GM will be wearing a purple vest with a purple tie
The fathers will be in silver vests and a silver tie.
The ushers will be in black vests and black ties.
The Bling!
Daniel's wedding band will be frosted white gold.
My engagement ring. The wedding band will have the same diamonds that are on either side of the stone, but they will be all the way around the band.
My bridesmaids luncheon/rehearsal dinner dress
I got the dress from David's bridal. It also comes in pink and black flowers.
And now my dress!!

At my first fitting!!! The dress is from David's Bridal and I LOVE it!!!!
Makeup trial
These are pics from my first makeup trial. They were airbrushed and although I like the way the coverage stayed on, I wasn't very thrilled about how shiny my face looked. The makeup in pictures looked ok, but looked very heavy in person. I am going to try another makeup artist in a month or two and we'll see if I like her any better.
Second Makeup trial, also with hair trial
l liked this one soooooo much better! Both my hair and makeup were done by Shannon at "Formal Faces." You can find a link to them from the knot's vendor website under GA-Atlanta. Make sure you ask for Shannon, I am Definitely using her!
My veil
Also from David's Bridal.
My shoes
I wanted my shoes purple to match the girls' dresses. Oh! I just love them!!
Reception shoes
I got these ballet flats from dessy.com but in royal purple. The color is perfect!
