The Groom

It doesn't seem like people blog enough about the groom. It's just as much his special day as the bride's. Since our wedding was in October, we decided to go with yellow and brown for our wedding colors. 

Man, it is difficult to find brown suits! We just assumed since it was a neutral color, it'd be easy to find. In the end Tyler had to rent a vest from Tip Top Tux, but we managed to find nice brown pants and shoes.

Since we were having our wedding outside at a farm, we decided we didn't want it to be super formal. We went with a vest and no suit jacket. We found the yellow tie at Kohls.

Wedding Day Accessories

I searched high and low for the perfect wedding day accessories and it was well worth it when everything came together on the day of.

I'm pretty clumsy so heels weren't the best option for my wedding shoes. I decided wedges would be perfect and I wanted them to have a pop of color. I went to practically every shoe store in the city looking for yellow wedges and finally found the perfect pair at Payless for about $20!

For my "something borrowed," I borrowed a necklace from my grandmother. My grandfather had picked it up for her in China Town in San Francisco years ago.

I really wanted to wear something special that I could potentially pass down to a future daughter or daughter-in-law someday. I have always wanted pearl earrings, so it seemed like the perfect fit. I found this beautiful pair at a jewelry shop in The Old Market Passageway.

I purchased both a toss garter and a keepsake garter from jbconaway on Etsy. The one I really wanted sold before I had a chance to purchase it, but after contacting the seller, she fulfilled a custom order and made the one I wanted! 

I also purchased a flower and veil for my hair from David's Bridal. Originally I wasn't planning on going with a veil, but I felt much more like a bride when I tried it on in the store. I went with a simple, shorter, veil in the back of my hair, that I took off at the reception.

My hair was done by Dani Cooper (Boss Studios). Dani and her assistant came to Bellevue Berry Farm to do both mine and the bridesmaid's hair. It was a huge stress reliever to not have to worry about going to a hair salon. I did go to her for a trial run, which I would highly recommend to any bride. Dani was absolutely fantastic!
