.:Bridal Attire:.

$399 (now $499, ah inflation!) Dress - Julius Bridal "Coco"

$8 shoes + $10 DIY shoe clip, I had some gold leaf sitting around and got bored one night and decided to gilt my Target shoes so if you bought gold leaf and sealent it would be another $10-$15

$5 spare shoes, bottoms DIY with enamel paint ($3) and stickers ($3)

$10 clearence Hollywould for Target Clutch - something red, I'm removing the strap and using it for cosmetics but I will not really be carrying it around.

Crinoline Underslips Mermaid $60

$30 Gardenia from Rush Creations - I really wanted a silk one so I wouldn't have to worry about wilting but good quality silk ones were hard to come by, a lot had stray fibers/threads unravelling etc which most people wouldn't notice but I'm really annoyed by things like that! I have a veil but I haven't decided if I want to go without it. I'm also carrying a sixpence, another oldie, that a good friend brought with him on his last visit, he's based in London and had been holding onto any change he got for me! Again, the Oriental Trading hankie, check the "Favors & Gifts" for more info. Oh and Target shoes, probably not wearing them now because the lace doesn't match my lace on the dress but they were only $5!

I think I want to do crinoline to give it more shape on the bottom like this Vera dress and the gorgeous wedding of wittliz and her beautiful dress! I ordered a 2 flounce mermaid crinoline from underslips.com at the suggestion of SFAug07. I thought about 3 flounce but I don't know if I'm tough enough for it!

Will also wear earrings and tennis bracelet, earrings modeled after grandmother's and bracelet from mother

I have two veils, a fingertip and a chapel length but I'm not sure if I want to wear one, I'm totally in love with this photo though
