Attire

The dress

Martina Liana style 339. It has silk organza lace flowers stitched on the outside, some 3D. And there is another layer underneath with beautiful floral stitching. I loved it because the flowers aren't everywhere and the dimensions made it special to me. I will not be wearing the purple sash. Instead, I tried on a beautiful pearl and rhinestone belt when I tried the dress on and so I bought it and will wearing it. I love me some bling! I will also wear the fingertip length veil with an edge outline seen in the pictures.

Bridesmaid dresses

I let my 6 bridesmaids choose between these 2 dresses from Bill Levkoff- styles 675 and 537. Both in the navy color.

Bridesmaid's jewelry

You cannot tell in this picture, but one of the 3 necklaces is light pink. It looks beige here. Anyways, Angel's mom is also bringing over a bunch of jewelry from the Philippines. She brought me these 3 necklaces last time she was here. They are real pearls (very cheap there, crazy!) and she is going to bring 3 sets of earrings when she comes in October before the wedding. I am going to give them to my bridesmaids (probably the necklaces to the 3 girls with the strapless dress and the earrings to the 3 girls with the one-shoulder dress) and they can wear them for the wedding or not, I don't care, but I might as well offer them!

Junior bridesmaids/Flower girl

I never planned on having junior bridesmaids. I actually didn't even know the term until my fiance's Aunt brought it up. I wanted to include all 3 of his young cousins- ages 6, 9, and 10. She suggested the 2 older girls be called junior bridesmaid's and the youngest could be a flower girl. I agreed that that made sense considering their ages. 9 and 10-year olds are a little young to be bridesmaids, but too old to be flower girls.

Angel's mom is having all 3 of their dresses made in the Philippines. She still lives there and has lots of connections so she could have them made for cheap. I gave her pictures of the colors I was thinking and told her the material and overall look I would prefer. Ultimately, I'm glad someone else is taking care of this for me. I don't really have that big of an opinion on the matter.

Hairstyle and makeup

These are my inspirations for hair. My hair has grown out to about the length in the first picture uncurled, but it has layers and so doing a half-up do looks a little strange because it pulls so much of my hair back leaving the very long layer still down- not flattering. So, I really like this pinned-back look with both sides pinned back to give a similar look. I am leaning more towards the picture on the left.

I also have a small, rhinestone, s-shaped hair comb for my hair on one side.

I also like the makeup in this second picture. I have very fair skin and I like the balance. I want my eyes to pop, but not look like too much. And her lip color looks nice. My hair will also be close to this color for the wedding.
