Yesterday I tried on as much of my wedding outfit as I’ve got. The skirt is still being worked on (it’ll be a two layered cream satin/lime green organza thing), and I still haven’t settled on the shoes … but from the waist up, here’s what I’ve got.
Naturally, I’m having a few second thoughts, but I suppose that’s to be expected. I’m such an atypical bride (er, am I really even a “bride”?) in most regards, but second-guessing my clothes is something I do in everyday life as well, so no suprises there I suppose.
Oh and yes: the headpieces ARE made from simple strips of fabric, so they’re meant to look a little raggy. Note, however, that I just ordered some lime organza ribbon to add in to the mix.

lime green must be very popular this season for weddings. this is the third wedding i’ve heard where it was to play a major part. in the wedding i went to on saturday, the bridesmaids wore really fabulous lime green strapless dresses. this wedding was also on a lawn, and flip-flops are highly recommended. at least for after the ceremony.
you look gorgeous!
