Toni & Bobby's Shabby Chic wedding PJ & TR (SBP/Attic/UK) 2/2/09 *COMPLETE*

The updates keep coming!! ​

So I have more updates. I found a closer picture of the top of my dress I just thought I would share with you all.

So I was chatting with my mom today and she didn't think the jewelry that I had (for my prior dress) was going to work with this one. The jewelry I had was very busy and there is so much going on with the top of this gown she though I needed something more simple so I went on a jewelry search and ended up with this set:

I think this will work. I am debating wearing a bracelet. I normally don't wear bracelets but I am still thinking about it.

So I FINALLY have a hairstyle!!!! It took me 8 months and about 100 pictures to finally decide but I think this will be the style that suits me the best.

I love this hairstyle. I am sure Ana can pull this off. I want it as much as the picture as I can get it. I have a lot of hair so I am expecting it to be that big and messy...LOL. I am sure she will do great work.

I WAS going to do the whole tiara thing but after this hairstyle and my dress I don't think it will go as well. Mostly with the dress. I am sure the tiara can go with the hair. So anyway, I really liked the little beaded pins the model had in her hair so I bought some. They came in a set of 12 so I thought I would let my MOH wear some too.

I bought some shoes that are shorter because my DF and I are the same height pretty much and I don't want to tower over him in pictures so I got these shoes with a 1 inch heel.

Then I realized that I didn't have a money/card bag so I bought one of those too!

I had some shirts made for the honeymoon also but I don't have pictures of them yet since they are not in yet but as soon as I get pictures I will post them. That is all the updates I have for now!

See that is just messed up that they are like that. I mean they are dealing with women that are really excited and happy, doing something that they have dreamed of for so long and they have to be all mean and nasty. I am sorry you had to deal with that.

Wow, love the updates! Can't wait to see everything come together!

Thanks!!!! Its coming soon for both of us!

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you! I am actually not having a hair trial which is a little scary but I know that Ana will take very good care of me.

LOVE the updates Toni!!! You are going to be sooo gorgeous! The hairstyle and jewelry are going to look perfect with the dress!!

Awww thanks!!! I can't wait to see what the hair will look like.

Beautiful dress and love the hair! I was actually looking at that dress for myself online... how much is it if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you!!!! I got it for 1200.00 but I think I have seen it cheaper online, which I would have done but I ran out of time and I was worried if I ordered it, it wouldn't have come in on time.

Sorry about the dress disaster, Toni! Weren't you getting two dresses from DB, one for the wedding and one for the at-home reception? Will you still have the same reception dress?

Oh and that's the same hairstyle sample I showed Ana, so she can definitely do it.

I did get that dress thank goodness. I didn't have to order that one.

I loved your hair so that makes me happy!!!

It was all from a basket?​

Yes! It did. I will explain the title.

So, as you all know, I am doing this whole Shabby Chic theme. I am having fun with it! So anyway, I was on Ebay and I typed in Shabby Chic and I ran across a basket. It was a Laura Ashley/Shabby Chic basket and I thought it was really cute. The best part was that it was cheap! So I said..hmm if I just added some ribbon to it or maybe even nothing its a cute basket. Maybe I can use THAT for my programs. So I bought it.

Here is the basket:

Ok so this basket is perfect for a Shabby Chic wedding (the chic part of the wedding is the carriage and my dress..LOL).

Anywho, I was looking at the basket's liner and noticed the green leaves next to the roses which is typical but I think the reason I noticed it is because I thought it looked perfect next to the pink roses. I originally had silver to go along with the pink to break it up because I couldn't think of another color to really go but then I saw the green and I did this...
HAHA!

Ok so I said (I really did say this out loud) hey what if I took everything that was supposed to be silver and did it in a sagey greenish color. Sagey Greenish; that is a technical term.

I went on to say, then the Best Man and my dad can wear the sagey greenish vests and ties and all the table clothes and bows and such that were supposed to be silver can now be sagey greenish! Fantastic!

So I emailed Rose, who is probably totally sick of hearing from me, and told her about my idea. So these are the colors I want to go with now. The REAL TECHNICAL color of the green is PERIDOT per David's Bridal/MW Tux.

Here are the colors:

Azalea, Rose pink, Peridot, Blush Pink

I think the green really sets off the Shabby Chicness I am longing for.

I told Rose that I think the chair covers should be like this now instead of the silver bows we had before.

Yes. Yes. Me Likes!

I am still going to have touches of the silver like my silver confetti which will be mixed among the rose petals on tables and this little item I just purchased from Lenox.

This will be for our head table.

So that is about all. To think that this all started from a silly little basket.

 

[sandysplayhouse]

PERFECT color combos!...

I believe it is safe to say that your wedding is just CHIC
as I can't see any shabby!

By the way... Great Basket!

 

[tiggerrifficheidi]

Oh, Toni! Those ideas will go PERFECTLY in the Attic! That is so awesome! I can't wait to see pictures!

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

Heidi is so right about those colors being perfect in the Attic! the Attic is kinda shabby chic anyway Green is simply one of my favorite colors

 

[29apr00]

the green really does look nice! Great job Toni!!

 

[irisbud]

That is gorgeous! I love it!

 

[bridetobe789]

The colors are going to look amazing! VERY cute basket as well!

You'll have to let me know come february how you felt w/ out having a hair trial... I'm debating on whether or not to do it.. I'm using Ana as well and df thinks I should have one just to make sure it is all what I want but I just don't know!

 

[keenercam]

Gorgeous, Toni! Any professional designer would say that when you find one fabulous piece that you absolutely love, it will inspire your whole "look" (a friend who consulted with a professional wedding designer, in addition to her planner, told me this). YAY! for finding the basket!

Groom/Groomsmen tuxes​

So today we went to Mens Warehouse for tuxes. I had them put in the computer that we will be picking them up at the Winter Garden Mens Warehouse so its nice to know we don't have to lug them down to Florida.

Here are the tuxes. They are for my DF, the BM and my dad.

Bobby, my DF, will be wearing a white vest

and the BM and my dad will be wearing sage vests

The BM and my dad will be wearing these cufflinks

I matched up all the greens to my cousins dress color azalea and sage green looked the best.

Oh and that Mr. and Mrs. Lenox sign that I previously posted, well I got it in the mail Friday. It said Mr. and Mr. The "S" was broken. Not cool. So I have to send it back. It really was not packaged too well. I was surprised but it came pretty fast so I will just get a new one. Hopefully it will not arrive broken.

 

[Rebclay]

I didn't know that men's wearhouse let you pick up the tuxes where ever you need them. Good to know. I've been lurking on here for a while and just wanted to say congrats on everything. I love the colors and the theme you have. Its so original. Best wishes!!
