AW: DIY bracelet, RD centerpieces, veil and hair trial - PIP heavy...sorry!

So I had a productive Saturday, and thought I'd share.

First, I finished my DIY bracelet.  $16 for the whole thing.  Score!





Next up, centerpieces for the rehearsal dinner that my mom and I put together.  It's really low-key, and at a marina, so we went with a beachy theme.



Last, but definitely not least - hair trial with DIY veil.  I made a sketch and provided some photos to my mom and her friend of what I wanted (her friend had offered to make my veil), and they finished it last week.  It's a drop veil with lace that mom's friend found in NYC on her last trip, and then my mom hand-sewed pearls onto the lace at every crest of the scallops.  It's gorgeous and I love it.  I'm partial to the hair as well, and for those that are curious, the barrette is from Etsy seller SeDuCe.  :-)

Oh, and yes I like to make funny faces in pictures.  :-P











Next up on Thursday, final dress fitting.  I've been to all my dress fittings alone because my mom doesn't live in this town, and I'm not about to take FI.  But she's coming up on Thursday for the last one, so I'll finally have some to take pictures so I can AW just for Hetshup.  :-)

    Thanks girls!

    It's hard to see in the bracelet, but in between each pearl is either a lime or navy colored "seed bead" to incorporate our wedding colors.  <3

    Your Centerpieces remind me of a candle thing my FI made when he moved into his house.

    Everything looks fantastic, I love your hair and I bet the colored seed beads look great between the pearls, just that touch of color is really nice!

    Never apologize for including tons of pictures - the more pictures, the better I say. 
    Great job on the bracelet (everything else looks great, too).  I love when you can DIY and save tons of money and it'll mean so much more because you did it yourself and didn't break the bank.

    Ooh, I love the bracelet! I was gonna ask about the beads between the pearls, but it seems you've already explained that!  The hair looks great too!

    Fabulous!  You look gorgeous.  

    I think you should trade out your wedding dress for the gray smock.  Stylin'.  Wink

    P.S. My comment to Kat in the other thread pertains to you as well.  Hmpf, you people getting married and depriving me of my DIY-oggling.
