Ok- comments are few and texts are rampant... so I'm going to have to post on what I have so far (post comments so I don't have to try to remember!) The Gatsby dress is a hit but a shorter dress has been suggested for a more "punk" look. I can see the potential- bright heels would rock!
The birdcage veil is also choice. Sara and I found a DIY Bride book that shows how to make one yourself (dude they're $80 minimum on Etsy, it'd be clutch if I can make my own) but where to get Russian lace?
Drew and I are meeting with Paul from Nancy's Haute Affairs. They're a full service caterer and also do event planning. I've heard a planner is worth his/her weight in gold (especially with the back-to-back training I'm doing) so I might go with that. They also have a warehouse full of goodies to help with the theme (Paul was really excited when I told him about it.)
What else? Oh I'm trying to decide on colors. I want bright! Blue is a given because of Drew's kilt:

(Look at the US Forces Air Force Tartan #1)
And of course purple is my favorite color and the red thread in the kilt against the blue makes it look purple so I think that's fine. There's also yellow thread. So conservatively speaking, purple blue and yellow should work together marvelously.

Hello!!
ReplyDeleteOk,so I'm new to the whole blog thing so bear with me. I like the Gatsby dress. If you are concerned about it not quite fitting the theme you could always incorporate accessories that emphasize the theme. For example a cute steam punk top hat which you could do with the veil, (see link below. P.S. this particular one is off of Etsy and a little pricy, keep in mind its an example). And of course make up and and other accessories you wanted to do to show off the theme such as punk rocker boots instead of heels, or whatever you want to do. Also, if you prefer the Gatsby dress to other styles maybe you could ask if it would be possible to get it made shorter. Hope some of this helped, I'll get back to you on the whole color thing. :)
Lots of Love
