So many fun and pretty things at our wedding... I love little details, but didn't get to enjoy them quite as much as I wanted because things were just too busy! Thank goodness for cute pictures!
I am still in love with my dress. I looked at several stores, but couldn't find much. I was looking for simple, simple, simple! No embroidery, no beading, no lace - which are things that are on almost every single dress. The Lord was looking out for me, though, because I finally found "the one" at cheap, run-of-the-mill ole David's Bridal. Plain, simple, taffeta. It even had pockets! Swoon...
We got all the tuxes at Men's Wearhouse in Sioux Falls. I do not recommend Men's Wearhouse. I will leave it at that.
Bridesmaids' dresses were also from David's Bridal. My mom added black bows at the waist with a similar rhinestone brooch to match the bow on my dress. I am so glad I went with black. I did not like the idea of a overwhelming color with matching decorations and was opting for a more classic look. Achieved. It helps that I have beautiful friends.
My mom and I did flowers, like, the DAY before rehearsal. We bought white, tropical-looking flowers at Hobby Lobby, added tulle for extra texture (it also enabled us to get by with only one white flower per bridesmaid - money saver! - see group pic above), wrapped with ivory ribbon and added silver vintage buttons and a pop of lace at the base. I am also still in love with the flowers. Nice work, mama.
Dear Sister Micah,
(Not to be confused with our friend who is a boy, Micah)
When you get married, please enlist my help. I can't wait to do flowers and corsages. I will even do them for free for you. Aren't you so glad we're sisters?
Sincerely,
Your Favorite Sister
dear sister liza, please make a corsage for the judge. and maybe a pretty bow for his gavel and a little bell attached to it so when he slams it down on his little piece of wood, he'll pronounce us married with a little tinkle in the air. cute, right? :) but seriously. i'm not sure if the county will let you decorate the court room...but i think it's worth a shot.
