Hair
Not sure if I want to wear my hair half-up or all the way up; I have a rounder face and I never really liked updos on me. I'll likely wear a feather or rhinestone fascinator/headband in my hair as well, since a veil looks odd with my dress (maybe I just haven't found the right one yet). Some hair inspiration below:
Makeup
I dig the heavy-black-eyeliner-with-nude-lip look, a la Brigitte Bardot (no, I'm not one for "light, subtle, pretty" bridal makeup-- very few things about me are, uh, understated). Some recent ladies who are sporting the same look:
Supplemental Bling
My dress is on the simpler side so I need some serious bling to pick up the rhinestone brooch on it. Some ideas:
Bridesmaid Attire
I asked my girls if they'd prefer short or long dresses, and one BM said "short, to show off my hot legs." HA- short it is, then! Since my girls are all over the board both in terms of geography (two in NY, one in Boston, one in Dallas) and body shape, I'll likely just let them vote on one of three dresses (in my aqua color, though), majority wins. This is a cheer-ocracy.
Groomsmen Attire
I wanted my FI to wear an oatmeal-colored suit; he laughed at me. Alright then, black tux it is...with aqua vest/tie to match the BMs.
My dress
So, this dress looks nothing like it does in the picture-- the model is making an odd pose which makes her look like she has scoliosis. That said, the shot of it from the back does accurately capture what the back view looks like. Not posting pics of me in the dress as I'm slightly worried that my FI might happen upon this site, and that would be giving too much away. ;)
