Anyways, I made some more button flowers and here's what I've got so far. I'm really liking it

And I also found some mesh. I've now been to 5 pasamanerias (sewing/craft shops) and only one had any mesh/lace that I would use for a veil. All the other stuff is elasticy-underwear lace. So the stuff I ended up with is only about 4 inches wide.

Here's my attempt to see what they would look like. Please excuse how busted I look in these pictures, I feel just as gross as I look.

AAaaand finally-- I started playing around with makeup ideas. I'm a big fan of makeup and have been going around youtube to get inspiration. I don't have very many colors, mostly pinks, golds and browns, so I'm trying to see if I can work with those. If not, I would be okay buying some new colors. So yesterday while feeling like shit I did some ideas. I did one that was goldeny-pink and one that was electric blue and this shiny purple I have. I'll probably buy sparkles and put them over whatever I decide to do. I love eye sparkles

Here's another, a little less ugly.
Anyways, thoughts about the makeup and veil? And if you all have any tips or hints or ideas for either of them I'd be happy to hear

The buttons look so cool!! It's really coming together.
I think adding some purple in to the veil would be pretty. Maybe your mom can bring purple feathers and purple mesh and you guys can play around with it to see what looks best.
For the bouquet, perhaps you can get a ball of that green foam stuff florists use, cover it with the fabric and then poke each flower through?
On the fashion front, I really don't know, I'm not great with that stuff, but I think it might be too... much.. if the veil mesh was purple.
I second Miri's suggestion about the foam thing, it's very handy! Just make sure not to squeeze it too much cause it'll break easily - although if it's wrapped in something then I doubt there's any real danger there.
Love the blue buttons! Hell, I love anything blue
(but still, the pink eyes rock)
