I don't post much but I love seeing all your checks and getting ideas so here are mine for this weekend!

Shoes - I got the LAST pair in all of Nordstrom-land in my size!

Jewelry-
Bracelet

Earrings

Headpiece


Veil (no pic but it's super simple - zero embellishments - and hits right at my butt)

Bridesmaid hangers:
Total cost = <$3 each!!


I'm making one last hanger for me - just trying to decide what to put on it.  FI and my first name's are too long, as is Mrs.___.  Maybe Mr (heart) Mrs or something.

    Oh I will warn you though.. I bought those shoes to wear for my wedding (my colors are eggplant and lime green and white) and I am use to wearing tall heels but these were REALLY tall and hard to walk in... so just as a suggestion I would practice walking in them a lot or maybe get a gel insole or something to make it easier? Good luck! :)

    Thanks Elle!!  I had them in one size and wore them for an hour when getting jewelry, etc and my feet were screaming so I got the next bigger size.  I'm getting some gel insoles and hope to break my feet in (I NEVER wear heels).  My heart isn't set on them but if I wear these shoes I won't have to get the dress hemmed!!

    Sarack - I used 16 gauge wire from the hardware store.  They have a lot more options, etc at Michaels but it's a little more expensive. 

    The hangers were 6 for $5.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond - if you use black wire there are gorgeous cherry wood hangers with a black metal hook, unfortunately I'd already gotten the silver.

    I found this bio super helpful - http://danielleandjoe.weebly.com/diy.html (drdifabio on the Oct 2010 or DIY board)

    Oh yeah - find something round to make Os, As, Ds, etc with - took me lots of mess ups to figure that one out.
