GM ties, how hard is it to find a shade of red???

Well I armed myself on the trip to our capital city with MOHs dress for the wedding, FHs shirt (same color as the grooms) and BOY WHAT A MISSION!!!!! to find a tie!!! well three ties.. but still..

After the 4hr drive I headed straight into the capitals busy CBD. I walked through 10 stores with FHs shirt and MOH dress... (people must have thought I was weird, comparing every tie to a shirt and dress) ..11th store...2hrs later...

SUCCESS!!!!

Exact shade of red... but a little on the pricey side(I was hoping for 20.00AUD each but purchased these babies for 40.00AUD each.) But i figured for the exact same shade of red, I wasn't going to risk spending hours to find something cheaper!

Here they are;

FHs tie is being made out of the same fabric as my dress so no tie hunting for FH! (and can I say what a big sigh of relief that is, I couldnt do that shopping experience all over again)

The girls accessories!

I havent posted in nearly a week and so much has happened!!!

So I have finally completed the girls outfit- well minus a necklace.

I bought the girls a hairpin awhile back 9.95 each. They only require one each and their so pretty!

Earrings, the girls requested non expensive earrings but they wanted bling ones. So purchased those. 10.00each.

and picked up the girls black clutches last week. So I think the overall look is coming together.
If you can imagine Red silk dresses, and black satin peep toes a black pashmina shawl for when it gets a little cool due to the wind and these accessories, I think the BMs are taken care of.

Super happy with the purchases. Overall look for the girls are
$140 dollars each without the shoes. Girls are purchasing their own. So another thing ticked off the list!

Button ball aisle decor. COMPLETED!!

I finally finished my button balls.

I only wanted six to line the aisle of were the girls and I are walking down. So if you can picture red carpet, the button balls themselves on white little pail buckets and raised from the ground and positioned like this

and imagine an archway at the end. White chairs to the left and right.. and arch way hanging in our initials.

If you pictured that ok, I think I might have just done my wedding planning right! Thank goodness these button balls are done! Here's a close up!

My accessories..

I bought my bracelet about 3 weeks ago. I originally bought a majorly blingy bracelet (about a page post ago) which I adore, but I found this one and I think the pearl look goes a little better with my dress, rather than the bling. It was cheap but I'm not set about heading out and buying real pearls.

Also bought the earrings which I love. Figured they were a long enough so if I had my hair down you could see them glimmer or if up they would be pretty. I don't think I will wear a necklace. Still undecided on that issue!

Another thing out the way! yay!

How hard was it to find your jewelry?
