enJOY it

Wedwed
Attire2 I'm lucky there is a lot of orange in the stores these days.

  1. bridesmaid's dresses. All gray with the same fabric – girls each pick their favorite.
  2. my wedding hair. I'm going to bring this picture in to my hair guy and see what he can do with my sixteen strands. (found here)
  3. rehearsal dress. All other plans went out the window when I saw this gray and orange floral dress.
  4. clutch. As already mentioned a million times. Can't wait until the wedding is over and I can use this everyday.
  5. my dress.
  6. wedding earrings.
  7. essie nail polish. light pink/coral is the only way to go.
  8. ceremony/fancy dancing shoes (sold out in orange). I am still on the lookout for flat shoes to change into towards the end of the night.
  9. rehearsal earrings.

I should make a board for the boys but it's pretty simple. Black suits (ideally two-button but we're not that picky) & these ties in orange. Paul is going to wear a different orange striped tie with a bit of blue in it.

Girls are carrying orange flower bouquets that they are going to make themselves. (Should be fun!) And boys are going to wear orange boutonnieres that they are not going to make themselves. (Yes, I do know when to seek professional help.)

The name of the game is simple. The middle name of the game is ORANGE. 45 days!

    You are going to be the most beautiful bride. JCrew should sponsor your wedding, or at least feature it in their next catalog!

    man, i’ve enjoyed watching this grey/orange progression. last march when i got married i had a green/black/grey combo in my head the entire time, but didn’t know how to play it out well at all. watching as you share everything from clothing to flowers to invites – and seeing how seamlessly you’re tying in your whimsy and love and color and paper? it makes me want to throw another wedding just so i can do it all again!

    Elise,
    I can’t believe it’s only 45 days away. Josh and I just got engaged and everytime I even think about our wedding plans I’m heading to your blog. I love all the things you’ve done and how much YOU have made this day so special for you and Paul. I hope I can only do the same! Thank you for sharing your wedding/engagement plans with us! -Leslie

    I LOVE #3- my favorite color combo is yellow & gray, & JCrew used to have one similar to yours in the yellow & gray, but they don’t have it anymore! The orange is SUCH a nice touch, & you’re not over using it, so it’s lovely!!
