my FAVORITE accessory...

...no, it's not my fabulous shoes (i'm not biased, am i?), or even my most sparkly jewelry...

it arrived in this box the other day all the way from new york...

the box itself is beautiful, i think!

...ta da! my custom fabric flower! oh how gorgeous it is in person...! it is made of silk taffeta and there is a light organza material they weaved throughout.

again, this will be pinned to the upper right or left "corner" of my dress. i can't wait to see how it looks at my next fitting! yay!

ahem...an attire post!

ok. so, i have been withholding a lot of pretty details in fear that our guests will find my blog and know everything about the wedding. but, with 41 days to go, i don't care! (plus, i know my blogging friends will love some of these things!)...

i haven't shared the details of my dress, because, well...that is TOO dangerous. g knows about this site and i would just croak if i found out he had seen something not fit for his eyes just yet ;) BUT, i will share with you the embellishment that is in the works for my dress. feast your eyes on THIS beauty:
this is a custom fabric flower made by the sweet and ultra-talented girls of handle & spout. i can't quite remember how i was redirected to their website, but boy am i GLAD i found them. they are based out of new york, and have been SO easy to work with. i sent them the detached strap to my dress for them to match fabric and color and they whipped this up pretty quickly!

don't you just love it?! i do. and i know it's big. but...when else do you wear a gorgeous white (ahem...ivory) dress and an ivory veil?! that's what i thought.

what do you think?
