Scenario 1
The David's Bridal website has this nifty little tool that allows one to visualize the wedding party. It's so fun! Here's one scenario featuring Melea and me in matching pick-up skirts. While I would prefer her dressed in pink, this dress is so cute! Click to view it full size.

Hairstyles
So...apparently, I'm attracted to low, loose buns with flowers stuck in them.
1. I love the simplicity.
2. I don't know if I have enough hair to pull this one off, but it's sure pretty.
3. I like this one, but I would move the flowers to the side.
4. Maybe a few less flowers.
5. I think this one is my favorite. I'm sure a veil could be tucked in there somewhere.

Plummer House In Bloom
We went back this week to see the place a little greener. Still have yet to see inside but we're planning to do that in August.
The house from afar.
View from the terrace. The fountain (much cleaner!) with the lower lawn in the background. We've decided to have the ceremony here instead of the much larger upper lawn. It's prettier, flowerier (if that's a word), quieter, cozier, and there are fountains on either end.
The fountain with the terrace wall and house in the background. (Hidden behind the trees.)
A wider angle.
Beautiful blooming gardens. I also love the rock face.
Stairs to get to the lower lawn. This will be fun in heels! We're thinking of either providing several pairs of "courtesy flip-flops" for guests to traverse the uneven terrain, or else have the ushers escort anyone who needs help. The steps aren't steep, they're just rather bumpy. I just now realized I didn't take a shot from below! Woopsie.

David's Bridal
I was surprisingly disappointed with my whole David's Bridal experience, but a few of the dresses they brought me (that I didn't pick out) were somewhat pretty.
1. The pink of this sash is close to what I have in mind. There is the cutest flower girl style that matches this one!
2. This foofy thing is so me! I think it weighed at least 70 pounds. Perfect for a humid August afternoon.
3. Kind of reminds me of some Grecian columns. I'm actually liking this one more and more, except there's no good place for a sash.
4. I like the sparkles. I also like that surprisingly pretentious David's Bridal couldn't swing for a few clips so the consultant didn't have to stand behind me holding the dress together after they brought me a too-big size.
5. I like the flowers/veil combination, but perhaps arranged a little better.

Jenni's Bridal
This is my second attempt at this post...it looked all screwy when I brought it up on my computer, so I'm redoing it. Plus, I edited the pictures and zoomed in on some. If they're in a different order, I apologize!
1. This one grew on me more and more the longer I had it on. Though flip-flop tan lines and shin bruises might be better concealed under a fuller skirt.
2. I totally filled out this halter top.
3. I don't know about the sweetheat neckline. Also, I probably won't be wearing a giant red clip on my back, though it looks delightful!
4. I think this is my favorite one from Jenni's. If only the lace wasn't zig-zaggy! It drapes so nicely.
5. This one was pretty but the sash is attached...also, it has a little too much train.
6. This one had the prettiest lace and minimal beading.
7. This one actually looks nicer than I remember, although I don't care for the laceup back, and it wouldn't work with a sash.
