But my fiancee did find a really gorgeous set of coordinating purple ties for himself and his groomsmen, and thus our "color" was established. Plus, it was an excuse for me to find some really rockin' purple shoes which I ended up scoring at DSW in NYC for 18 bucks! They were on super clearance so I don't know if this exact style is still available, but check out the Nina shoes page on Zappos for something similar. All of their shoes are amazing and come in more colors than a pack of Skittles.
I found some lovely purple satin at Pacific Fabrics and made a super long slinky sash which matches the shoes and tie.
The final touch is "something borrowed," a crinoline square-dancing petticoat that a good friend of mine wore under her wedding dress. Since I've tried everything on all together, I can't imagine the dress without it.
For now my dress is hanging out on my dress form, concealed under a giant black contractor trash bag, providing a source of wonder (and hiding place) for the cats. Perhaps this will make its debut even more dramatic.
