Wedding Colours

Teal & Fuschia

 

My Wedding Gown

I had a replica of a Jim Hjelm made by Landy Bridal (Zero Love) for a great price of $235 including freight.

I will be adding a fuschia satin sash to incorporate my wedding colours into my dress.

 

My Ceremony Shoes

 

Trash the Dress - Dress

 

Groom's Attire

We had a custom linen suit made by Studiosuits.com, Custom Suits | Designer Suits for $99.00 + freight

It was made perfectly. Can highly recommend them.

Daryl will be wearing a traditional hawaiian maile lei.

Bridesmaid Dresses

I scored an awesome deal at forever new for my bridesmaid dresses. They were originally $130 each and I got 3 for $65.

They were heavily discounted as there may have been zipper problems or a slight tear (easily fixed)

 

Groomsmen Attire

 

My Wedding Band

My FI will be going for a plain titanium wedding band.

 

Bouquets

I decided on real touch bouquets as I thought why spend just as much on flowers that I wont even be able to keep.

Bouquets made by Adrianna from Life like wedding flowers

My Garter

My FI is a Lakers Fan, when I saw these I knew I just had to get it for him.

 

Hair & Makeup Trial
