I'm in that crazy planning stage right now and I would love to get ideas from you experienced folk out there! I promise to post my pics after the wedding in exchange for yours!

Informal view of the wedding party and Church - you can see the style of the bridesmaids' dresses -- I wanted sleeves for them, and that was very hard to find!

Getting ready -- I was wearing a very fancy Miraculous Medal, and all my bridesmaids wore a miraculous medal, which was their bridesmaids gift from the day before. I think I got them from HMH Regina.

You can kinda see how they did my hair in this pic -- I wanted a chignon

The cake were just some white cakes decorated with flowers and put on different height tiers.

The bouquets were done by a friend of mine

My bouquet, again

Yes, indeed - we also wanted sleeves - I think we had the same bridesmaids' dresses!! Except, ours were blue, and they wore a black mantilla for Mass. Find your dresses online, by chance? :)

Yes we did! I'm sure it was the same place!

Looking back I would have liked to have had mantillas for my bridesmaids. The idea was so foreign to most of them, though, that I didn't. Oh well! :(

Your pictures are LOVELY, by the way! I love your dress and your veil!! So vintage looking, I love it! :)

Thanks - my mom made the veil (hand-knitting the trim) because I wanted something from like 1910; I also found my dress online. That is too funny with our bridesmaids - I liked those dresses because they actually looked like bridesmaid dresses instead of MIL dresses, which is what you might end up with if you want sleeves these days. So crazy! Not all of my bridesmaids were even Catholic, but they were fine with the mantillas - they were like, it's your wedding! It doesn't matter now, though, since it's all over. ;)

Your dress is gorgeous, by the way! Where on earth did you find a dress like that with sleeves?! Way, way cool.

Yeah, I wish I would have just done the mantillas anyway. :( But oh well, it was lovely anyway!

My dress was a gift from Divine Providence. After looking EVERYWHERE for a dress with sleeves (some stores turned me down outright, saying they didn't carry any!) my friends and I went to this odd little store where they had a ton of dresses. Jokingly, one of my bridesmaids pulled a dress that had wispy sleeves going all the way down to the bottom (like a Fairy Queen dress or something lol) and after laughing at the sleeves we looked at the rest of the dress and were like, "Wait, the rest of it is REALLY pretty!" So I had the sleeves altered to 1/2 length, and it was perfect. The dress was SO me, everything about it. I was so grateful -- PLUS it was on sale which is something I really needed!!! God is good! :)

I love all the pictures!

I was kind of bummed tonight because I found out my wedding dress (already purchased) went on sale recently. I didn't pay the going rate of a wedding dress, but still... it would have sure been nice to save that hundred dollars!
