I got my jewelry off Overstock. I love it! The creamy pearls go well with my dress and the drop necklace is just right for the v-neck on my dress. Plus it brings in my purple from my wedding


I'm getting my dresses from Alfred Angelo's. I'm letting my girls decide which dress they want. I love them all for different reasons so why shouldn't they be able to show they're own style :) I just gave them some guidelines. They all have to be eggplant and since my color is so dark I wanted them to be chiffon and shorter length to lighten the feel since its gonna be August. Also to avoid any silly combinations of dresses I told them it was first come first serve and they could only pick a dress no one else had picked yet :)
This is what they picked!
The color is not quite right here. They are much prettier in person :)
The MOH got hers with Hunter green trim and sash which is our other color :)
I got my dress from Lady Margaret's in Puyallup, Wa. I expected dress shopping to be this big long ordeal involving many stores and a lot of dresses but no such luck ;) It was the first store I went to and the 4th dress I put on. I just love it so much!
I originally went in with this picture

I knew I didn't want strapless and I imagined myself in something fitted, sheath or mermaid. I had a few other pictures but this was the Only one that really cried out to me. Gorgeous! What I ended up in was this


It had some similarities. The embellishment on the hip, the fanck straps, the corset back. Its A-line so a little fuller than I planned but oh it fits my curves so well, and oh the neck line is amazing and oh how the creamy ivory compliments my skin. I can't believe I only get to wear it for one day!

and my wonderful mother in law :)

I was starting to worry I was going to have to stray from my color scheme for my candy buffet or that I would find candy and it would all be grape and green apple flavored but I think I've found what I need!
there's our green apple :)
Grape and apple rock candy.
They also come in chunks so thats alwaya an option if we have too much height.
I haven't decided on Jelly Belly's yet but these are the options
Wild
blackberry
7up
Grape crush but its a very pretty color
Mixed berry smoothie
Mojito
Watermelon
Of course m&m's come in all colors but I think I'm going to go with these
triple chocolate and mint chocolate
Gummy army men
Peachy penguins. I know it sounds weird but I'm happy I'm able to get an unexpected flavor in my purple and green candy buffet :)
Key lime taffy
huckleberry taffy
I think this is the one thing I find worth actually buying online
Blackberry cobler candy corn :)
