J and K Escape Wedding 10/12/10 SBP/Epcot/Morocco DP -- Dress Ordered!

[sillykaren]

I'm sorry that I'm so far behind, Karen, but I'm up to date and subscribed now!

YOUR DRESS IS AMAZING. Seriously. I am so jealous. The other thing I am jealous about is the shoes. ADORABLE. Please tell me you're going with those!

I love the theme too. I feel like we're going with something like that but I'm a little lazy and don't have the creativity to really go places with it!

Can't wait to hear more!

No prob! You know how I am about commenting on PJs, hehe!

Thank you so much! I'm so excited about my dress! It fits my personality a lot better than long dresses!

The theme is slowly coming together! It's hard to find a ton of info about the time period and I'm having a lot of trouble picking colors. I need to really sit down with my mom and talk to her since she lived through the late 50's/early 60's!

Loving your theme idea.

Thanks!!

Choosing colours is quite hard! They are all so good!

Here is a link to some inspiration boards on my fav wedding site. Maybe it will help give you some ideas!

Ooo that website is great! I am loving inspiration boards lately! It helps to see the colors in different ways, rather than just splotches or swatches of fabric!! I'll keep you updated!

Although I'm not going to lie, your PJ from your Boardwalk Theme days have been a big inspiration!! I'm just trying to do a fall version of that!

I know i said it on facebook but let me just remind you... I LOVE MAD MEN! and i love that you're making it your inspiration! As for colors i would go with something vintage classic... like black and white with some splashes of accent colors. Like black and white with bright red... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-FNYeDYTQ...ALg/MrQVrhLw0n0/s400/OH_inspiration+board.jpg

Thanks Katie! I am so excited about the theme! I even emailed our photographer to tell her about it and she is super pumped also! I am just dying to have pink though, I don't think I can part with my idea of pink shoes! Hahaha!

In the inspiration board i posted they have those light pink flowers with the light blue dress... i like that ALOT!

My best idea to make the boardwalk seem more fall like is to brighten up or darken the pastels. It is definitely more challenging to get a fall feel there than many of the other venues, but I am sure you could make it work!! And you should def keep pink!!! But I am very biased....

Hopping on for this one! Love your ideas! Can't wait to read more!

Oooo yeah! I keep going back and forth on colors, pastel, bright, dark, light. AHHHH!!

That's what I was thinking! I am pretty sure my shoes will be BRIGHT pink! And I'm thinking of keeping the rest of myself whiteish. Although dark blue and canary yellow...hmmm!

Hopping on for this one! Love your ideas! Can't wait to read more!

Yay, welcome aboard. Hold on tight because I can be pretty indecisive.

Since I've changed the wedding to have more of a vintage, classy theme I've made a 180 turn on my hair! I had been thinking about updos for awhile, but I don't like the idea of all my hair pulled away from my face. That being said I think these two are awesome classy, vintage updos with more texture and body around my face. I have naturally wavy/curly hair so I think I can pull it off pretty easily!

Hi Karen!

Your wedding plans look great! The dress you've ordered is gorgeous, I LOVE the idea of the bride wearing a shorter length dress. And Mad Men is awesome. If you haven't seen it, Modcloth.com has a ton of vintage inspired dresses. A lot are more informal (maybe for events surrounding the wedding?) but they do have some more formal stuff that pops up every now and then.

Oh and if you're all for the 1950s and 60s, don't forget to look at cage veils and pill box hats as a replacement for the more traditional veil. I'm definitely thinking of doing one of those instead!

Thank you!! I think I want to go with a giant flower in my hair! I don't know why, but I love that look!

Off to check out Modcloth.com now...
