Bridal Gown
(Andrew, if you are reading this- DO NOT LOOK BELOW!!!)
I already found my gown, a Maggie Sottero Paigely. I know its a little early, but when I found it- it was love at first site. A few months later I found out it was being discontinued- so I went back and ordered it a week later. I thought it had the perfect beach look with perfect degree of wedding formality. It should be here in late July! I can't wait!
Bridal Shoes
After multiple trial and error attempts, I finally found my shoes. It seems like all the other ones I've tried didn't fit correctly or were too dark of a fuschia, too pink, too neon- I felt like Goldilocks! Finally while visiting the July Knot Group, one of the girls mentioned a shoe store I had never even known of- DSW. It was there that I came across these beauties. They look very similar to the Nina Forbes Fuschia shoes I had originally wanted, were a great price, and when they arrived- they were the perfect color fuschia! Plus they are very comfortable! Have yet to try them on with my dress, but once I do- pictures will be on their way!
Bridal Accessories
I bought some earrings from Etsy seller "Earringsnation". The orchid charms are very Tropical while the teardrop swarovski crystal matches the swarovski crystals on my dress.
Bridal Look
For the wedding I plan to have my hair down in a unique wavy hairstyle like this. I will have a veil with crystal beading to match the dress. I will also have a white orchid hair flower to wear on the side.
For makeup I am planning on a very natural blushing bride look. Just very neutral makeup without any crazy colors. Because I expect to be tan and my skin is naturally medium toned, Vanessa Minnillo's bridal look is a good example of what I'm thinking

A Parasol for Pictures
I will be using a fuschia parasol and white parasol for pictures with my bridal party and fiance.
Bridesmaid Ensemble
Here are the girls in their whole ensemble, including dress, shoes, and parasol! The dresses turned out lovely!
Bridesmaid Dresses
During our last bridal shop visit (when I ordered mine) I had my bridesmaids and best friends look at bridesmaids dresses. They found the cutest one- an Impressions Bridal number 20010. We were thinking of getting the dress in fuschia, and the floral sash in tangerine.
Bridesmaid Accessories
I also bought my bridesmaids each an orange parasol for walking down the aisle and photo opportunities. The orange parasol will match their sashes.
Flower Girl Look
Our adorable flower girl will be wearing a gorgeous organza three layer white dress with a fuschia sash. She will be carrying a fresh green palm woven basket to carry her flower petals.
Groomsmen
The groom and his groomsmen have already determined that they will be wearing more casual attire such as a white button up shirt with beige pants. Very traditional. They will also be wearing ti leaf leis. Here are some examples of what this may look like:
Groom Accessories
Most of these will be surprises for him, but he never checks the bio anyways so I'm sure they will stay a surprise! :) What I have so far are :
I ordered map cufflinks for my handsome from Etsy seller, TomatoMade. They will have a map of the location of our wedding venue in Olowalu. I still have to think of more gifts but I will be posting more soon! :)
