Wedding Day Style

Our wedding is in a week and a half, and I can't believe how quickly it's come!  Last year, it seemed like we had forever to get everything together.  Now, the days are moving by oh so very quickly.

Last night, my good friend and long time hair stylist Gina did my hair and makeup trial for the wedding.  The look is very vintage yet woodsy, complete with a pretty orange-red lipstick and some extensions:)  Below are some pictures that inspired the look of the day.  

Dress:

I fell in love with the white dress worn by Elizabeth Bennett during the ball scene in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice as soon as I saw it.  I knew at that moment that my dress should be similar. 

 

Hair:

The hair idea is pretty and simple: a braid on top with loose curls and an ivory flower clip.

 

Makeup:

The makeup style we chose has a very vintage feel.  I think it's just glamorous enough to pop while still feeling like a more dressed up version of myself.  The lipstick makes me a bit nervous however- it's not something I'm used to!

 

I can't wait to see it all come together next Friday, and even more, I can't wait to see Will's reaction:)
