Hey guys wanna see the details of what we wore to our wedding? I love looking at other brides pictures and finding out how they put the whole thing together so I thought you might like to, too?
The hairclip- Mom assembled it in my hair literally as I was getting ready. She picked up the flower at a shop on Queen West in Toronto along with the feathers and an antique broch. She's a creative powerhouse I tell ya.
The shoes- were comfy green suede sling backs from
CosmoParis.
The jewels- My earrings are diamond and pearl spirals from
Birks that my parents gifted me for my 30th birthday and the bracelet
I won on a wedding giveaway. My Aunt Jane re-worked it, taking off the ribbon and adding clasps to make it into a bracelet instead. My family is full of creative ladies!
The viel- from
Pronovias and is the most luxurious and beautiful thing I have ever owned. It's made of french silk tulle with intricate lace around the edges. I'm trying to think of a way to use it in the future. Maybe a canopy over a baby bassinet?
It was catherdral length and totally not what I imagined I'd pick. Maybe not the best choice for an outdoor wedding but what can you do? The heart wants what the heart wants and man did mine ever want that veil! Thank you so much Mom and Dad.
Vince's suit- a three piece very well made suit from
De Fursac.
Vince's tie- a silk pink/grey/taupe checkered tie from
Paul Smith.
His accessory- a hankerchief from
Etsy I had embroidered
His shoes- beautiful brown leather shoes from
Hardridge that he's owned for years!
The dress- is Medina from
Pronovias Spring Summer 2010. We bought it at
Balletts in London Ontario the very same place my Aunt Jane bought her dress ten years earlier.
I fell in love with it right away and cliché as it may be I cried when I tried it on. I loved the material and especially the skirt with the pick up in the front. I felt sexy and beautiful and skinny! I also felt like my boobs were somewhat under control. I had started to succomb to the idea of having to pull up my top all night while wearing a strapless dress. I thought all the ones with straps would be matronly. Not so!
Vince's shirt- lucked out and found a great deal at
Izac.
We escaped at the end of the night and forgot my veil, Vince's jacket and vest. Thankfully the best man had us covered and brought them back with the bus load of happy boozey guests a little later.
Vince shirt was soaked through. He brought another one with him in case this happened and would have to change. He never did, I didn't ask him too. We were just having too much FUN dammit!
I would lovelovelove to know what dress or suit you wore or a want to wear? Did you accessorize with already owned pieces or go all out and buy new ones? What was/will be your favourite part of your look? Come on girls and boys, spill the beans!
Love and Hugs
The Final Cut
I feel like a manga girl! Hiiiii YA!
Yikes and when I don't straighten it I feel a little like Helena Bonham Carter in Fight club!
I absolutely LOVE Helena Bonham Carter but that doesn't mean I want her hair.
The Before stragglies
We've been married for 30days! whooooohoooyippeeeeeehhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Vince is my husband!!! We are newlyweds! I'm in LOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!!!!!!
These young ladies were engaged for 36 years!!!!! And finally on July 24th, 2011 they were allowed to legally marry in New York city!!! There is a wonderfully emotional 'look book' over at New York magazine that features 15 of the newlywed couples from the first day of marriage equality in New York. The story is by Rachel Baker and along with their portrait she asked the giddy couples a few sweet questions. Head over to read it if you are in the mood for love.
Good morning everybody! Me and Sunny are sitting here on the couch patiently waiting for the official wedding portraits to arrive in the mail from Malta and I was just thinking.......how do I change my name?
Now that the wedding is so close I have totally blown off my diet in favour of pleasure/comfort food and these gooey deep dish cookies are just the ticket! Don't ya think?
That's what my Aunts have been telling me these last few days as my stress level rockets and dips and rockets again. It's true! I will never be here again so I'd had better enjoy it! Just like this funny bride above. Found on Snipet and Ink from Lauren Ross via Alison Events.
We are on a roller coaster of emotions over here holy macaroni! Those bitches at AC are still pissing me off but other than that I am back to my happy Bride self. Take that Stresszilla!
I have skipped the Bridezilla step and gone completely deeply into the stressed out Bride part. All thanks to the damn eff'ing Air Canada ticket agents. They get me everytime. Doesn't matter if I haven't worked for Jazz for 3 years now and never travel standby they are still fucking over my life. Thanks girls!
Hahahahaha! With the wedding in less than 30 days and Sunny's convalescence I am a little more than stressed and anixous! I definitely feel like the superhero Aniexty Girl! I wonder if they have a blonde one?
1 month till this!
and this...
and this moment...
this one too!
and finally this!!!
