You got the wicked style.

I finally bought my dress from here. Correction, my wonderful MOM bought my dress. Thanks, mom.

I'm over the colored shoes. Besides, the yellow Charles by Charles David's that I bought, I already wore for our engagement pictures. They are really more of a casual summer sandal anyway. I am going with my original plan and wearing the fluke-Nordstrom-sale Stuart Weitzman's, which are STILL regular price in store by the way:

I bought this necklace from Etsy seller treeandkimball. It is something a little bit bold to go with my no frills dress.

Now what to wear in my hair...I got some help from the ever fabulous and always stylish East Side Bride. Thank you, ESB. I'm so moving on from the big flower and in search of feathers. I can't afford the lovely Sara Gabriel shown here and here, but yay for Etsy.

#1: Love these feathers, is the beaded star too much for a wedding? Maybe a vintage button would be better.

#2: No beaded star but too poufy?

#3: Love the button, but too flat?

#4: Cute, but not enough of...something?

Lovina by YJdesign

#5: Cute, but too small?

Justina by YJdesign

#6: Too big and too much going on?

Madamme Bride by Dreamcatcherstudio

and #7: Just for fun, but too costume-y?

Isn't she lovely made from love?

I heart the Renegade Craft Fair. The view from the California Market Center 13th floor penthouse is amazing. We could see the backside of our venue from here. These are my favorite vendors:

oh, hello friend.
She designs the delightful jewelry that I wrote about here.

Check out her etsy shop here and her blog here.

It was so nice to meet you, Danni. You are super sweet just like your shop.

All my purchases from oh, hello friend. You might recognize three of these from here. This means I loved her stuff just as much as I did online. I wanted to buy EVERYTHING (but had to restrain). mr. c helped out and bought me the lemon sherbert one.

This is one of her new designs and my now favorite necklace.

I know, it sounds really geeky, but I've been a few times and I always walk out with something new to add to my craft supplies. It's not just rubber stamps! They do tons of demos and there are other vendors that sell paper, paper punches, trinkets, and embossing stencils. My favorite things are the box patterns from Darcie's Country Folk.
