BM Dress
MOH Dress
Both dresses are chocolate (truffle) from David's Bridal.
BM/MOH Shoes (Update 9/30)
I told the BM's and MOH's to order whatever style they like just to dye it the dark orange swatch color I sent them. I wanted to go with this idea in the first place but a BM shot me down and convinced me to pick a shoe. As of 9/29 no one had gotten their shoe yet so I sent them all a message and I told them to pick whatever style they like. I'm so happy with this decision because I know what it's like to be a BM and I still have the shoes (never worn after the wedding) in a box in my closet to prove it.
One of the most famous wedding dresses of all time! Who could this possibly be?

Priscilla of Boston Vineyard Collection Style: Emily
I absolutely love my dress! When I tried it on I didn't want to take it off. Once I brought it home I loved it even more. I can't wait to walk down the aisle in this dress!
The details on the back really won me over. (Sorry the picture quality isn't the best.)
Me in my altered dress
I made some changes to my dress. The first is the small cap sleeve I had added. I added this to cover my small tattoo I have on the front of my shoulder. Obviously, I didn't think of one day wearing a strapless dress to my wedding, lol. I also had the belt changed. For some reason I really didn't like the small belt that came with the dress and I had a wider one made that matches the sleeve and the bodice of the dress. I also purchased a faux fur jacket as you can see in the second pic. The pics are a bit blurry because we had to take them with my cell since I forgot my camera.
I finally found my shoes!
So I decided to go with traditional ivory after all. I had to order my shoes from the shoe store because they didn't have my size. I'm going to dye them the color of my dress as soon as they come in. Below are the shoes that the shoes store loaned to me for my dress fitting. They're a half size down and tight as heck which is why I had to order my shoes. I actually didn't think I would find them but after trying on a few shoes and actually thinking I wasn't going to find anything I just happened to turn around and found my shoe on display behind me.
I looooove the detailing on the front.
Shoe Inspiration
I'm leaning toward wearing shoes with some color instead of the traditional white or ivory. I love these! They're gold Christian Louboutin's I saw for a good price. I haven't purchased these but I'm really digging them.
Wedding Day Jewelry
I ordered everything from www.whiteaisle.com. They have really good prices and I love the fact that they work closely with a lot of charitable organizations.
Groom
My honey will be wearing an ivory vest and tie from Men's Wearhouse.
Groomsmen
The Groomsmen will be wearing the vest and tie in Truffle.
