Wedding Harleigh''s Dress is IN THE HOUSE!!!

[Harleigh]

Hi Everyone!

Thanks so much for getting me through the wait for my dress to arrive! That thread is HERE. I attempted to take some pictures for you, but I must say, they are pretty bad. As soon as I can get one of my friends over to take some better ones I will post them, but these will have to suffice for now.

I will include some of the jewelry options, as well...please let me know what you think!

I also tried to spruce up my makeup a bit in a way I *might* wear it for the wedding...

Please give me your opinions!

Here is the dress on the hanger without any flash...

Dress on hanger w/flash.

That is one of the BM dresses hanging to the right and my ebay veil that I''m not too sure about.

 

[Harleigh]

This is at least a clear picture, but I just couldn''t get my head in there, too!

 

[Harleigh]

Another poor attempt!

Side view...

 

[Harleigh]

Another side view...this picture taking is hard work!

 

[Harleigh]

I hope I''m not repeating any...sorry if I am! Another frontal shot...

 

[Harleigh]

This is dark, but shows some of the detailing on the dress...

 

[neatfreak]

Yay!!!! It looks gorgeous! And I don''t know if you saw my note in princess''s thread about my pink shoes...

 

[Haven]

Harleigh, I LOVE IT! It''s gorgeous, and so are you!

Your figure is to die for, honey.

 

[Harleigh]

This shows the shape a little bit...

 

[Harleigh]

I tried to use the self-timer, but they all came out blurry, but you can see the subtle sparkles...

 

[Harleigh]

I really think I look better all blurred out!

 

[VRBeauty]

Harleigh, it''s very classy and absolutely gorgeous! You''ll be a beautiful bride!

 

[Harleigh]

Here you can see a little bit of the back...running away from the camera is not conducive to good rear shots, so I will leave those out for now!

 

[miraclesrule]

Girrrrrlllll, you need to learn how to use the auto shoot feature!!

I think you look fantabulous!!

I still can''t get the visual of some Harley babe (my sister look-alike) out of my head when I see your nic, but now everything has changed!!

I agree, you look lovely!!!

 

[Harleigh]

Full front makeup...btw, do you like the sunburn and strap lines??? It hurt like heck to put my dress on, let me tell ya!

 

[Harleigh]

Eyelids

 

[Harleigh]

Wow...this is why I don''t like up-close pictures! My laugh lines are really starting to make me look OLD!!!

 

[Siamese Kitty]

You look wonderful Harleigh-you''re going to be stunning on your big day!

 

[Harleigh]

Now, onto the jewelry...

My green amethyst bling. I don''t like the bracelet at all...the stones are very mismatched and only 2 of them are even close to the color I was looking for. There are 2 rings at the bottom that I will post next.

The necklace I adore, but the earrings on the right are a little darker than the necklace, and though the earrings on the left match, they are not as fancy or antiquey as I would like.

 

[Harleigh]

These are both a bit big, but they are the right color I''m looking for...

 

[Harleigh]

Really blurry pic, but here''s what''s on it:

Rhinestone stretch bracelet, 2 rhinestone bobby pins, (also had a rhinestone barrette in my hair tonight, but didn''t get it in any of the pictures!); *vintage* pave necklace; white gold bracelet; raspberry pink *vintage* earrings. Not all vintage pieces, of course, but I like the look of antique jewelry!

I''ll post close-ups of this jewelry next...

OMG that dress looks AMAZING on you - you have the most incredible figure and the dress just shows it off to perfection!! FANTASTIC - really, you couldn''t have made a better choice

I''m liking the jewelry too, although I see what you mean about the earrings - I really like the ones on the right in the picture.

Re: the makeup, I love the eyes, but I would do a teensy bit more color on the cheeks (you are a "blushing bride" after all

) and maybe fill in your eyebrows a bit more. This is really just for photography purposes - us fairer girls need a lot more color to look "normal" on camera

Hmmm...just looked again and the only other thing I''d add would be to maybe shade the eyeshadow up into the crease (towards the inside of the eye) a bit more and blend it in a bit more with the others - I think it will be more subtle in the pictures and will make your eyes really pop

Bracelet & earrings

My bridal party''s jewelry, of which I also have a set for myself in case none of the other jewelry works out!

 

[Harleigh]

Please help me choose which pair of earrings you like best to go with their sets...

Here is choice number 1...
