Here's "the dress"...
Here's the final decision. It's a white taffeta, lace-up gown with heavy beading on the bodice with an inverted V and a sweetheart neckline. I'm absolutely in love with the ruffles and the bodice. I've always dreamed of having that lace-up dress and now I finally have it. I'm going to change the ribbon in the lace to be red and I'll add some red rhinestone accents to the skirt. Below are: [left}: necklace, earrings, bracelet, and comb for the veil that will be in the making soon and [middle]: my black and red garter that match the theme of the wedding. [right]: my bridal set. None of the pictures I took of it actually on impress me, but this really shows how pretty it is.
Bridal Party dresses...
Here's the dress that the girls decided on themselves. I wanted to make sure they were comfortable, but that it was still nice. It's in apple red and we still haven't decided on shoes yet.
The Bridal Party:
My "Girls"
Malori (Matron of Honor): Have known her since 6th grade and spent many long nights working on geography projects together and just this past summer, I had the chance to be maid of honor in her wedding and couldn't be happier that she is a part of mine!
Ashlee (Maid of Honor): I have known Ashlee since 9th grade, but we got to know each other very well in our years on dance team together. She is definitely my best friend and I can count on her for anything! She will also be doing my hair and makeup for the wedding [and assisting with my bridesmaids] She's a wonderful person.
Karrin (Bridesmaid): So, maybe I did just meet her this past year, but I can definitely say that this girl can bring a smile to anyone's face. If you're having a bad or stressful day, I guarantee you'll be laughing by the end of it with her. I can only hope that I get the chance to be part of her wedding, that will probably be next!
Lizzy (Bridesmaid): I have known this amazing person since my freshman year, when I had absolutely no friends at a new school. We were the goofballs together that liked to dance to 80's music around the house and sing out loud to Michael Buble. She is wonderful person to be around and her care for others is admirable.
Just to be honest, I really don't like the tradition of having "titles" for the girls, but Malori is married and Ashlee has definitely had a big impact on my life and is continuously eager to assist. If I could have 4 maids of honor, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm lucky enough that every one of my friends is so pleasant to be around and are very easy-going and cooperative with everything. I was blessed with my friends.
The Groomsmen:
Future Husband's "Guys"
Phillip (his cousin)
Garret (roommate//best friend//Karrin's sweetheart)
Luke (best friend//loyal guy)
Preston (good friend//musically talented)
