My Dress!
I ordered a dress! It is a La Sposa dress, and I got it at Patsy's Bridal Boutique in Dallas. Update: The dress is in!
My Accessories
I got these vintage glasses just for the reception - I will wear contacts (for the first time since middle school!) for the ceremony
Veil from YJ Design on Etsy, just for the ceremony.
Necklace from J Crew - I also bought a really thin orange chain from J Crew that I plan to weave into this necklace.
Bolero from Etsy, from seller MaryAndAngelika. I am planning to just wear it for the ceremony, and then get a cardigan for the reception.
My Shoes
I got my shoes - they are Betsey Johnson! I used to have a pair just like it (which tragically broke some time ago), and they are super comfortable, which is a huge bonus.
Hair Inspiration
I am getting extensions for the wedding, and my hair will be bright red. I want a curly side ponytail - something classy but subtly 80s-ish.
The Rings
The fiance and I got our wedding rings! They are sterling silver, with a woodgrain pattern. We got them on Etsy from the seller Ball and Chain.
Bridesmaids
My bridesmaids are going to be wearing black dresses - any black dress they want that isn't floor length. I will then give each of them a belt and accessories and flowers in their color (they will each have a different color - fluorescent blue, pink, yellow, and orange).

Bridesmaid Shoes
I got shoes for all of my bridesmaids in their respective colors! They are all different/from different places, but they are all ballet flats, so I think it will really work with the 'coordinated but unique' look I'm going for w/ the BM's.
Bouquets
We are using Gary's Flowers as our florist. We aren't doing much in the way of flowers, just bouquets for me and the bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the groom and his attendants, and an arrangement for the altar. Each bridesmaid/groomsman will have 'their color' of flowers - the yellow, orange, and pink will all be daisies, and the blue will be delphinium; mine and the altar will be a mix of those things!
