I found a great “dressy clothes accessory” on Saturday that I just had to share with the garden. Drum roll please…
JOCKEY Hi Waist Mini Shaper - No Panty Line Promise®

After multiple fruitless shoe shopping trips my sister, my cousin and myself piled into the bride mobile (aka my car) for a field trip to The World’s Largest Shoe Store… or Reyers in Sharon Pennsylvania. We were bound to find something for both of the Lilac sisters to wear when wed!
Whether or not Reyers is really the world’s largest shoe store, I don’t know. But it is fairly big and the signs say so! (Visit them online at reyers.com)
Guess what? I just ordered the shoes I will be wearing as a bridesmatron in August! The bride picked them out to go with our green tea-length dresses and asked that we all wear them. Want to see?  Coloriffics Women's Leia
I will preface this post by saying: my wedding dress does not have pockets, and I’m ok with that.
 Alfred Angelo style 2119 has pockets It seems like designers are fascinated with giving the ladies a place to put their things during a wedding. Wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses are popping up with pockets from almost every line.
I was killing some time before meeting a friend for coffee so I decided to walk the mall. It was rather close to the end of prom season (I think there were only 2 local schools that hadn’t held prom yet). I noticed tons of tiaras, decorative combs, headbands, a other hair accessories on sale at several stores.
 This headband is from Etsy seller Allofyou, but is similar to what I saw
You may remember, in our last Cherry Bud installment, that we were looking for flower girl dresses? We did finally pick one and buy it online from a company called Girls Dress Line. See if you can recognize it! Just take a look at our Petal Sprinkler… Beginning with the obligatory getting ready shots of the little Princess….

… Or Flower Girl if you prefer to call her that. You’ve met the Ring Bearers now meet the little Flower Girl. Here she is with her brother and cousin, who are considerably bigger than her then 2 year old self.  Personal Photo We’re not too worried about her making it down the aisle, since she has two very goal-oriented boys to walk with, and because I will buy her a great big lollipop and have someone hold it at the end of the very short aisle. But juuuust in case our soon to be 3 year old Flower Girl doesn’t make it all the way down the aisle, or sprinkle a single petal… Bliss Florist will have “pre-sprinkled” petals. So we’ll still have a beautifully sprinkled aisle resembling this:  Jenni Goldman Photography
I have an amazing mother. She’s the kind of mom that remembers I love rubber duckies and gets me the bride and groom ducks when she sees them. She has two daughters getting married within six months, a new granddaughter, and an awesome sense for bargains.

I have some pretty awesome bridesmaids. My 4 ladies include my good friend from way back in junior high, my sister, my sister in-law and my roommate. All 4 are very supportive and easy to work with, but are completely different from hair color to height so picking a bridesmaid dress took some time. I picked the dress this weekend, but I have to pick the color. Green?  Alfred Angelo- Style 7018 in Glass Green or blue?
I cannot believe how much I care about shoes right now! I have never had such an issue finding a pair of shoes as I have for my wedding. Traditionally, wedding shoes have matched the dress. In my case I would have white shoes. But I’m not so sure I want them.  From bestweddingdresses.net Many brides are opting to wear shoes in their wedding colors. Blue and silver are very popular.
