    Hey ladies - Just wanted some opinions/feedback/thoughts on my BM outfits! The dresses were custom made by a local seamstress, and I DIYed the jewellery, hair peice and shoes. I'm going to add a couple little feathers to the hair peice to match the shoes. What do you think? (Honest!!)

    LOVES:

    • Color
    • Knee-length
    • Halter strap
    • Hair piece

    Questions

    • Are their chiffon flowers/ruffles under the bust area? It makes the chest look elongated
    • The flip flops are informal - are you having a wedding on the beach?

    I have the same question on the flip flops will the be a beach/lake wedding? if so then they work well! but if not the dress and accessories seem very formal but the flops throw it off.

    You did a great job with the DIY!!!

    Thanks for the feedback ladies. The wedding is at a family home - kind of a garden theme, so I didn't want to do heels in the grass, and the flip flops were only $5! But I am nervous about them :S. Do you think they are okay for a garden wedding? Or should I start searching for alternatives?

    i'm just afraid of too much white, but maybe if i incorporate white into the bouquets, it will look ok?

    you're right. too much white, I think. How about in a light brown/nude color? something like these:

    I have those Old Navy flats (above) and they're pretty comfortable! I have black, but there was also white, silver and gold. The silver or gold ones would be really pretty for the girls!
