Mary Mary Quite Contrary.

I recently realized that aside from what I have already told you, I have not shared much about what our wedding style is.

We are going for Fall/Autumn Themed colors:
Maroon/Burnt Orange/Dark Brown.
Our girls are wearing "Latte" except for our flower girl, who is O's and my toddler, and her dress is sort of a cream-sicle with bright orange accents.
However although our colors are set, I am still allowing for other areas where our bridal party can express themselves with colors not of the theme.

For example, many of the gifts that I got for the girls are catered to the color they like.
Each of their crystal necklaces are a nod to the colors they like.

I went out the other day on a wedding related excursion and scoped out some hair materials- and what I found was good! I had already ordered hair/dress flowers from an Etsy seller, but haven't received them yet, so I decided to go out and see what was out in the malls. I came across lots of goodies:

(pictured here is Little O's hair flower)

I also found a flower that I wanted to keep because of it's flare, but since
I am a fiery Ginger myself, I assumed it would clash with my locks. I still
swiped it up and plan to give it to my Maid of Honor/kid sister.


The one on the right is my hair flower for the reception, in place of
my future mother in law's veil (which I am wearing as my "something old").
I originally didn't want to wear a veil, but she offered and I felt so honored. I guess that
means that she is more than accepting of me marrying her little boy.

I had also come across some flowers for our Jr. Bridesmaid.




She is wearing a brown dress with pick-ups from David's Bridal. I am hoping she
will wear these- I am not sure how she feels about flowers in her hair.

And what is a shopping trip without perusing into the dress section of Macy's, JC Penny
and Sear's? I found a great sale on a rehearsal dinner dress, that was originally marked as
$39.99 and when I got to the register, it rang up for 11 bucks! There was no way I was
going to walk away from that kind of sale. I also found a brown bolero that
looked good with it:


I am keeping my hair in a low sleek pony tail that night before I get it all curled up and pinned like crazy the next day and really wanted to keep the flower theme going. Problem is
I found two that I really liked--- but I am unsure of which one to use. Can I get some input
on this semi-difficult decision?
