Makeup Inspiration

My dress is way to "stand out" to not do full-on make-up. I bought MAC stay on lipstick that actually lasted through my test (having a nap and kissing James) so I'm pretty excited about the makeup for the day.

I've really been going wild with the Mad Tea Party Theme lately. I want a very "fantasy/faerie" feel to it -- in addition to the vampire stuff -- so these are my inspirations as of late.

Fashion

This was my original Inspiration Board. I love each and every item on it. The dress, tiara, and ring are all the actual items we will be using.

I will be wearing this necklace instead of the "Heart of the Ocean" inspired heart. It is a pink sapphire which James bought for me for Christmas.

I have not yet been able to acquire my dream shoes (Betsey Johnson "Merri") but I am still holding out hope. If I can't have those then these are the next best thing. James hates calf-height boots so granny boots were out of the question. When I saw these I knew they were perfect -- they had the right amount of "vintage-y witchy-ness" for me but the ankle height that James likes. The ribbon in the picture is just for show. I'm procrastinating purchasing the $12 a roll double-sided 1 inch thick red satin ribbon I will be using.

Wedding Hair

I haven't decided yet whether my hair will be up & messy or down & wavy but these are some of my inspiration pix:

I am most excited about my tiara which matches my dress beautifully:

I will be wearing a veil as well, similar to this style but in a deep red organza:

This was my first attempt at "wedding hair":
