My Dress :)
This is my Maggie Sottero dress, but without the jacket! It's not as poofy as it shows in the picture because they have crinoline under it.
FYI--posting the website so just in case FI finds my planning bio, it's an extra step to actually see it!

TTD...I would love to do this, but we'll see money wise when it gets closer!
And yes, I will be wearing my wedding dress again at my AHR!
I found my second/"reception" dress for the rest of my wedding day! I decided that I wanted to match my BM's and get the same dress but in white! After the ceremony, we're doing a casual "reception" with nothing reception like because we have the AHR. I'll wear it for that and the public luau that night. I'll probably still rock my veil for the rest of the day to enjoy being a bride more :) I'm also thinking about wearing this the day after our AHR at our brunch/dinner for gift opening with our families.

After the AHR, I will be cutting my wedding dress (gasp) and getting it altered into a cocktail dress for our one year ann! I'm really excited to be able to wear the dress again! I've also decided to keep all the fabric cut off and make it into things like a blanket or christening gown for my future children :)
Fiance's Outfit
Originally, he wanted to do the all white linen outfit with his sleeves rolled up. Now we've decided that we want to be more dressed up, it's a big day and that wouldn't match my dress that well :) He'll be barefoot and then wear sandals at the receptions. He'll probably take off the jacket for the brunch reception and then also after some pictures at the AHR. Here's the suit he ordered. We're not sure all the details yet...just have the suit, but that's a huge step! He doesn't know if he wants to wear the vest or not and if he wants a blue or white shirt with it.

Bridesmaid's Dresses
The girls are wearing this dress without the strap on it. The dress is Mori Lee 831 in Peacock, but online, it looks darker. It's actually more of an Ocean Blue in person like pictures. We're getting them hemmed up above the knee on the girls to make them look better. My sister (MOH) is going to switch me sashes and then the other BM's will have their blue sashes. For the ceremony, they will be barefoot. For the AHR, we're thinking just black or silver heels and then maybe some flip flops for when the dancing gets too crazy :) I'm thinking about DIY their flip flops like I'm doing for mine and giving them it as a present too.
Groomsmen
We have two options right now. The first is they will be wearing kaki pants and a dress white button down shirt untucked possibly. The second is if we can find button down shirts the same color as the BM dresses, then we may go that route with possibly white pants like the picture below. This is the look that both of us would love, so we're really hoping we can find it! They will be barefoot for ceremony and then wear sandals for the receptions.
UPDATE: We decided on the kaki pants and a dress white button down because it's way easier to get and the GM's can wear it again. We will be having them buy new kaki's though so they're all the same kaki color.

Flower girls and Ring bearers
I found a dress at Macy's on sale and then extra percentage off for a another sale! Ended up being $24 with shipping! It's this dress, but in Harbor Blue. They won't actually be at the wedding, so I wanted them to have a dress that they could definitely wear afterwards. It matches the BM dresses style which I love, but I'm pretty sure the color is a little off which isn't a big deal to me.

The ring bearers will either wear a white button down shirts with kaki pants, or a blue shirt and kaki pants.
MOB and FOB
My mom is getting a dress made for her. It will be light and flowy custom made to her body shape! Dad will be in kaki slacks and a long sleeve dress shirt, but color is TBD, some type of blue though because he looks great in it!
Bridal Shower Dress
Here's my dress from Express! There's the sash I'm going to use around the waist (it's made long enough for either a headband or a sash/belt. It's from etsy seller daniel12.
