And I thought the color situation was all sorted! Can't wait to see the inspiration pics, though!

The earring your Mom picked out are much nicer IMO. The etsy ones look cheap and poorly made. Your Mom brought you earrings, stick with them.

wow a guy who has agreed to pink ....he's a keeper! hehe only joking!

its great how our guys want to have input with the colours! who'd have thunk they cared so much about colour schemes!! hehe

At least you have your colours sorted ... i have a LONG way to go with deciding colours with DF... tehehe!

I think it's totally awesome that Eric is so involved with the planning! And kudos to him, for admitting he wants and likes pink even though I'm not a fan. I say stick with the earrings your mom bought. But perhaps you can wear those to the party. I mean $15! That's a bargain. :

Lol at least you have the time!! There are just so many color choices out there!!

He is excited and I am still shocked about the pink!!!

I bought the earrings from Etsy...I really do love them but until I actually try them with the dress I won't know. I haven't tried the others with the dress yet either.

Here's a pic of the veil I just bought(in ivory):

I wanted a relatively small one...not too low on my face.

Oh and different grandma (mom's mom). She actually lives with my parents so has been kinda involved in the wedding. I still haven't spoken to or heard from my other grandmother.

Cute. Very vintage-y, like your dress. What decade inspired your dress and veil? I can't tell. I'm terrible at stuff like that. Lol.

Lol what a cute idea!!!



I think he will ultimately like it...but I agree, I need to be me I just think it's not a "look" that he would every think of. He did request cleavage from my dress though, lol (Church cleavage ) So I think he will be happy!

It's a good thing my husband didn't request cleavage with my dress because that just wouldn't be possible. Lol.

Ok so I know I posted earrings a bit ago that my mom bought me, but I'm not sold on them yet. I found these on Etsy and can't get them out of my head. What do you think??

Honestly, I think the ones your mom picked out are prettier and more elegant.

I love that he wants to be involved AND wants to add the pink back in. I like the last two flowers, the second to last incorporates the blue and pink in the bouquet, but the last, you could use the pink flowers with a blue ribbon.

PrincessShea did pink and purple petals of two different flowers that I thought looked beautiful.

I have to agree, I have had the hardest time finding earrings and a necklace as well.

Oh I did like hers too! I am just being careful so that the pink and blue doesn't look too baby showerish.

It's so hard to find stuff because you never know. I seem to have more luck online but then I have to try it with the dress. It's like the veil. I loved the cathedral length but once I put everything together I didn't like it.

I like the idea of the last bouquet with a blue ribbon! Thanks!

I was worried about the baby shower look too, my original colors were pool blue with accents of fuchsia and mango, but as planning has gone along it has developed into pool blue and fuchsia as the two main colors with miniscule touches of mango (pretty much just my bouquet and the bouts). The Blue and Pink will look just fine and I don't think of a baby shower when I look at it, plus you'll have the green to break up everything.

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

I really love how the tan suit/pink tie and accents look! Very nice! And love the bout too!

I agree.

Mandy, honestly you should think hard before buying anything else. You keep changing your plans and while it's your prerogative, you are wasting money. Yes, it may just be $15, but if you keep buying little things, they add up. Plus, don't you think your mom might be annoyed that she bought something and you are going to use something else? Unless you can take them back, you are now wasting her money.

It's funny you should say that Eric wants to be more involved, because every time you post something, you state that Eric "fell in love" with it. It seems like he has already been more than involved. That said, I'm glad you are letting him have the pink he wanted from the start. Well, that was he choice after the original yellow and green he wanted.

I do agree that the reception can be different from the wedding, so you don't have to worry about matching.

Thanks for sharing that with me. BTW, I seriously love how mango and pink look together! I just got off the phone with my mom and she agreed that if we do it in the right way it won't be too baby showerish. She liked some of the bouquets but is going to help me look through more pictures before we leave for the PS. I am not sold on anything yet, although I am bit partial to the pics I posted

I love the suit too! We are having a hard time finding one to buy but I'm sure we will. I like how the pink tie and blue bout go together. His BM has a green tie and I think maybe we will put a pink bout with it.

I likey that idea!

I totally saved the bout picture by the way. I love it! Do you know what those blue flowers are in it?

I actually don't!!! If I don't figure it out I will let you know after my PS.

I was thinking how everything kind of matches up. Moh in green and pink...BM with green tie and pink bout. Eric in pink tie with blue bout, me in white (obviously) lol, and my bouquet in blue and pink (Probably with a bit of green too!).

Well see! There ya go! Him wanting pink was destiny!

That's why your MIL thinks its ok for things to evolve- you're always changing things!

Earrings aren't as cute as the ones your mom bought.

Pink and blue do look baby showerish. I'd scrap the blue shoes, since that's the only blue you're committed to at this point other than the invites which really don't matter to the look and feel of the day. Plus blue shoes would be kind of distracting, they're not a "pop" of color when they're the only color, kwim? They'll really stick out in pictures. Maybe silver or something neutral if you don't want white. The other option would be to keep the green and use a very bright pink instead of a softer pink. Three colors together are ok if they really compliment each other, but that green and that blue and that pink don't, IMHO.

The blue flowers in the bout are delphinium. I had them in my wedding bouquet.

I'll be interested to see how your veil looks with the dress. I don't think they match all that well just looking at the pics. They're both vintage but they look like they're from different eras. I saw an epi of Say Yes to the Dress where a bride wore a birdcage veil, but her dress was very tailored so it looked more pillbox hat-y, if that makes sense. Hopefully your ability to envision is better than mine

For what its worth, I think the blue, green and pink will look great together and you still have time to play with the shades if you start to feel like its going in the baby shower direction.

I think the dress and the veil are a good match. I'm not a historian so I haven't a clue if they appear to be from the same era - but as long as none of your guests are major history buffs, who will ever know anyway?! I think what matters is they are both very "you" and they both have the glamorous, dramatic look that I think you're going for. You love them and you'll feel great in them and be happy when you look back at your wedding photos later. I'd call that a win.

As far as the earrings I'd say go with whichever ones look best with the dress. (I could be wrong but) from what I remember of your mom buying you the earrings, it wasn't like she went out and carefully chose a pair and gave them to you as a surprise, but more like you two were at DB together, you saw them and liked them, and basically on a whim she paid for them for you at the register. Which is very sweet! But I TOTALLY don't think, if that's the case, that she will mind if you end up not wearing them. Also, she's your mom, she knows you, she knows you've made some changes and I'm sure she assumes there are more to come. Kudos to the person who can plan a wedding WITHOUT making changes! (I've been avoiding updating my own PJ for ages because of all the changes we've already made!)
