marylab · January 2015

@Ourladyofpotato Your crucifix is beautiful!Fi got me a very thin gold chain with a
''blue eye'' and a small cross,I don't take it off me.
And I love these flats too,oh LACE!I'll propably will wear high heels,I've been
eyeing some pairs but will def have a back up plan of bride lace flip flops.

@marylab

I am lace OBSESSED. I need lace everywhere, it's outrageous. I've been looking at mantillas like this:

...and dresses like this...

...I have a problem. We have a ways to go (we're waiting for financial stability) but I just can't stop myself from looking at lace everything! I like the idea of heels and then backup shoes. I might be able to do heels for the ceremony but there's no way I could wear them for more than a couple of hours. But it's also an extra expense. Meh. If I had my way I'd just wear pretty socks and be done.

@Ourladyofpotato Girl if you like it you can wear socks or even be
barefoot,everything pleases you!
And it's ok from time to time to go BSC and look at things.
And I wish you to have your weddings when you both want

If I had the brains years back to wait to be financial stable and not just hope for it happen,I would have saved me some breakdowns.Anyway,I love the veil,and the dress.I was BSC at least ten times :P and tried on gowns,I upvote the mantilla veil,
the store that I'll end up getting the dress had some veils with lace on the bottom and I loved it.I'm a tulle person,but love some lace as detail,especially at the bottom of the dress.I love heels and totally want to wear a pair that I will wear again in the future,
but with the amount of dancing involved second option is needed or I'll end up with
dirty toes.I'm buying a nude,thin sole,thin flipflop and adding a sash or some sort.

Ooh! I want to play!

@bethsmiles‌ OMG so excited for you!
@GoldenPenguin‌ I LOVE that band.

I had two pairs of wedding shoes. My Zamberlan Vioz hiking boots that go on every hike with me, and some flats from The North Face. I had no sparkly pretty shoes but I had a pretty good response when everyone saw these pictures. Our photographer loved them.

Also ring pictures because...rings! This ring was my dream ring. Rather it was 4 or 5 different rings that I love individual things about so H designed this one for me.

lilacck28 · January 2015

@dignity100 Yeah, I looked around for white gold with palladium, as well as plain palladium. But it was hard to find a brick and mortar store with those options.... And since we were saving so much on the center stone I figured... eh. Just go for it. I'm happy with the platinum, even though it's expensive. FI is going to get a palladium wedding band though.

And guys.... I think we're going to buy our bands today. The more I think about it, the more crazed I get. I don't think I will ever know which band I want.... engraved, or diamonds, or plain, or migrain. I seem to be leaning most towards the engraved bands and the milgrain. FI has said he thinks it would be nice to match, and that in a few years maybe I'll get an anniversary band. I won't count on that but... I want to be done! I like the idea of matching, and the engraved bands are more expensive, and maybe I won't like them after a few years? But mostly they're more expensive.

UGH. It was so much easier picking a fiance! and an engagement ring! (though FI says I have a short memory when it comes to that)

bethsmiles · January 2015

@lilacck28 - Have fun looking for wedding bands today! That is so exciting! Don't put too much pressure on it

lilacck28 · January 2015

bethsmiles · January 2015

Yay! I can't see your ring though

The link just says they can't find the product.

lilacck28 · January 2015

link should be fixed! Hopefully my anxiety level starts to decrease now that they've been purchased.

bethsmiles · January 2015

Oh, I love it! It will look great with your engagement ring!

speakeasy14 · January 2015

@KeptInStitches‌ I don't think you use your hand if you wear that vine ring. Like those people who have ridiculously long nails.

@lilacck28‌ I love the rings you guys chose!

*sorry on mobile

KeptInStitches · January 2015

@lilacck28, I love your rings!

lilacck28 · January 2015

thanks guys!

Blackbird230 · January 2015

@lilacck28‌ I love your rings! They go together so nicely too.

kipper88 · January 2015

Here's my ring, and my dress.

KeptInStitches · January 2015

Picked out my bridal jewelry yesterday:

8.0 - 8.5 Cultured Freshwater Pearl Imperial Lace Pendant in Sterling Silver - Zales

8.0 - 8.5mm Cultured Freshwater Pearl Imperial Lace Twist Earrings in Sterling Silver - Zales

Blackbird230 · January 2015

@kipper88 I know someone with a very similar dress! Looks great!

eilis1228 · January 2015

@lilacck28 LOVE the rings!

@KeptInStitches I love that jewelry! It's all so elegant!

@twodimes - I'm totally late to the party but I LOVE your ring!! I think the tapered 'matching' wedding band will look stunning with it!

bride2b71614 · January 2015

I am not sure about how popular this is, but I plan on wearing my wedding band on my left hand and switching my e-ring to my right. E-ring is awkwardly shaped, making a wedding band difficult to put underneath.

My e-ring + wedding band:

(not my hand)

His wedding band:

lilacck28 · January 2015

@bride2b71614 FI's mom does that! And I think many women did that in the past! I considered it as well, in case I couldn't find a band to fit with my marquise ring (though it ended up being high enough to sit flush with many bands.) I probably would have kept wearing my engagement ring on my left hand, and worn my wedding band on my right though... since I'm right handed and a band is less obtrusive. That's definitely against tradition, but oh well!

loves2shop4shoes · January 2015

Here are my rings!

GoldenPenguin · January 2015

So my wedding band has officially been determined

It's going to be this, but in rose gold (they unfortunately don't have a picture of rose gold on the website). Eternity haters be damned

Blackbird230 · January 2015

@GoldenPenguin love!! It'll be so pretty with your ring.

lilacck28 · January 2015

@goldenpenguin

It will be SO gorgeous! Are you wearing it as a set with your engagement ring, or on different hands? and, for the record, I'm not really an eternity hater, more... a paranoid beater-upper of rings!

GoldenPenguin · January 2015

@lilacck28 - set with my e-ring. The band is low profile, so it will fit perfectly under my ring. This is a side shot of my ring, so you can see that there's enough height for the band to fit between the bottom of the setting and my finger.

Blackbird230 · January 2015

@GoldenPenguin, I just noticed your countdown. It's getting so close!

GoldenPenguin · January 2015

@blackbird230 - SO CLOSE. I'm starting to panic, haha. I just had such a "we have PLENTY of time" attitude, and then we bought the house, and then all of a sudden it's January, and it's under four months and HOLY SHIT THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO!! Exactly 110 days - we're almost in double digits!!

eilis1228 · January 2015

@GoldenPenguin I love it! I'm not necessarily an eternity hater either... my fingers fluctuate a lot, so I'm all for being able to have a ring resized. I think it's a beautiful ring, and when paired with your e-ring, well, people are gonna need sunglasses to look at your ring finger. I can't wait to see pics of your e-ring with your band!
