Groomsmen tuxes
Pretty simple and basic. Two button tuxes with a white shirt, and teal tie and vest.
This picture is from the Men's Warehouse site which is NOT where we got our tuxes, so its a little different... but honestly, each tux looks exactly the same :P

Bridesmaid Dresses!
Our colors are teal and silver... and I really didn't want a whole wedding party dressed in silver, so I had my girls get teal dresses.... This is easier said than done! After spending almost a year finding a dress, deciding it didn't work, finding another one, etc... I found the perfect dress for my girls! Its a Mori Lee Style 261 in Teal Taffeta...
The best thing about it? IT HAS POCKETS! haha Ignore the color in the picture, its exactly the same color as my shoes at the bottom of the page.
The girls can wear whatever silver shoes they want to wear with it... Honestly though, its a full length dress, so if I were them, I'd wear something comfy.... I made them each flip flops with their initials in teal for the reception!

THE dress!
I had a very different experience than most brides. I've only tried on two dresses. The first dress I tried on was an Oleg Cassini dress from David's Bridal. It was one of those dresses that I just entered the store, and my eyes were drawn to it. It was the only dress I wanted to try on... Unfortunately, it was also extremely out of my budget (it was $1150... my budget was about $300. I just didn't want to spend big money on a dress).
My photographer happens to have a friend that designs/makes dresses. I showed him the pictures of the dress that I fell in love with, and pictures of me in the dress, and he said he'd see what he could do. A few months later, I picked this up from my photographer's office. It's even BETTER than the original dress! The dress fits like a glove and makes me feel like a bride. And the best part of it--it was free! My photographer decided to give it to me as a wedding gift!

Shoes!
I've been searching EVERYWHERE for teal shoes... but it's a little hard to find because I want a dark teal (the color of the bridesmaid dresses), but I've only been finding a really light, bright teal... Not my style! My cousin finally suggested that I check Zappos because of the free shipping... And lo and behold, I find the perfect shoes, and they've only got one size.... MY SIZE! Its a match made in heaven!
Nine West's Janika. So comfy and gorgeous!
Accessories
My garter is my "something blue". It is a Golden State Warriors garter (which is Gary and my favorite basketball team)... I bought it off of etsy vendor GartersbyKristi.
I bought my hairpiece from IMpeccable IMages... I don't really know how I'm going to use it... but hopefully my hair stylist can figure something out!

FI's tux
Again, boringggggg. Hahaha he's getting a Mandarin collar (he LOVES the flat collar) instead of the regular tux... and he'll be getting an ivory vest and tie instead of the guys' teal. Yupyup.
Again, took this from the Men's Warehouse site. I hate Men's Warehouse so we are not getting our tuxes there. And I need to go back there and get my deposit back. They're total douchebags.
