Groom / Groomsmen
FI and all of the guys will be wearing this Ralph Lauren tux which has light grey pinstripes. FI didn't want a traditional tux b/c he is a professional musician (as are two of the GM) and they often wear black tuxes for gigs. He didn't want to feel like he was working at our wedding LOL!
All of the guys will be wearing ivory shirts. FI and the RB will wear a champagne vest/tie, and the GMs will wear a burgundy vest/tie. We picked a Calvin Klein vest/tie combo (pictured below).

MOH
Here is my MOH in her gown! I wanted her to have a slightly more formal style. I'm thinking of getting a pretty brooch to add a bit of bling.
MY GOWN!
I found my gown at Russell's Bridal in Linden, NJ. The designer is Private Label by G (which makes me smile b/c James and I call our kitty Guinness "G" for short!)
I absolutely love this gown. It makes me look at least 10 lbs lighter instantly. The beading on the bodice and on the skirt and train has a gorgeous vintage feel to it. Very romantic, very elegant, very ME!
I went dress shopping with my mom, aunt and MOH. When I put this gown on, my MOH started crying, which made me start crying. We knew it was the ONE!
Below are a couple more pictures of this beautiful gown.
Bridal shoes
I found these completely by accident one night while surfing the web for shoes in general. I hadn't even found my dress yet! But I knew as soon as I saw these Badgley Mischka's (Elia Champagne) that they were my wedding shoes. Even better, I found them on Ebay in my size for under $100! Woo hoo!
I will probably get something a little more comfortable for the reception (and will have my dress altered so that when bustled it isn't too long for shoes with a shorter heel.) But these are perfect for ceremony and pictures because they give me a bit of height next to James (I am 5'4" to his 6'4"!)
Reception shoes!
I decided I wanted a second pair of shoes to change into at the reception. I ordered these from Zappo's and am excited to try them! I also want to try the burgundy pair below, but right now they are out of stock in my size. There's still time though. Stay tuned.
Shoes are definitely my obsession. :-)
UPDATE: I loved the gold shoes but ultimately decided to return them. I was able to purchase the burgundy Isola Dolce shoes from Macys and they are gorgeous and comfortable so I will be changing into them for our reception!
I also got the Rocket Dog flats pictured below for the after party. I'll get a lot of wear out of them after the wedding too!
