Reader and friend, Tanya Wetzel, sent me this collage that she made using our save-the-date and color palette! How cool is that?!?

images: dresses via Jovani, necklaces via Real Weddings, sea foam flower via Gracieluv, coral flower via Jamie Clouser, and earrings via adornyou
The pom-pom necklaces are delightful - and how about those vintage earrings? The girly-girl in me is emerging and by the time the wedding planning is finished, I will have bookmarked, screen-shot, and browsed thousands of shoes, accessories, make-up techniques, and hair styles. I'm not sorry either.
The impetus for Tanya's collage was this image of a beaded dress worn by Ashley Olson:

I never considered beading for my dress but Ashley's dress along with the two pictured in Tanya's collage have my attention. If I hadn't already found my dress, I'd want to give one of those a try. Wait, did that just slip? I'm horrible about keeping these kinds of things to myself!
I did indeed find the dress! In fact, it was the first dress I tried on and we bought it right then and there. More on the dress next week.
Thanks again, Tanya!
