The Bride...zilla (hahaha, not yet at least!)
The Dress
My dress is a secret :) I've only shown a couple of people pictures, as I want it to be a surprise. I will say that it is a Rivini, off the shoulder, with very unique and intricate bead work...and absolutely beautiful!
Just a couple of small peeks...
Close up pic of beading under the bust...
...and a pic of the beading on the train.
With the antique brooch my mom and I found...extra secure bustle!
Dress Label
I told my FMIL about a dress label I saw on another Knottie's bio and she surprised me by making one! I want to attach it somewhere at the hem, so that I can pull it up to show for pics (another Knottie's idea)

Blue Shoes
I am currently on the hunt for the perfect blue or turquoise pumps! I really don't want to spend over $75, but I will do I gotta do ;)
Inspired by Carrie's SATC Manolo's!

My Shoes!
Picked these out at Nordstrom's, my mom bought them for me and I love them! More comfortable than sky high pumps and less of a change in height when/if I switch to flats for the reception (don't want to ruin my dress!) - looking for clips to add some glitz!
Found shoe clips at a Anoka antique shop - just what I was looking for!

Jewelry
(not the best pic) My sister knew I wanted these and she surprised me by getting them for me for Christmas - love them!
My bracelet, 'Knockout' from Premiere
Hair Flower
Purchased from Mary Kay Bridal - love it!
I went to their St. Louis Park location and the ladies there were so nice and helpful. I will probably go back there to look at flower girl dresses and MOB dresses.

My cute little purse I picked out at Herberger's - perfect for my phone, camera and makeup!
Bouquet Brooch
An Etsy maker/seller is working on a hair flower for me to attach my late grandmother's brooch (pictured)
I am also wearing a fingertip length veil, although I don't have a good picture of it. It's simple and I purchased at Macy's when I picked out my dress.
*Few months later - I will have the brootch attached to my bouquet and look for a hair piece locally.
