The Look for less: All White Winter Wonderland Wedding Accessories

   So to conclude my All White Winter Wedding Series, don't want to exhaust all avenues or I won't have anything to write for years to come:), I put together this post for your Wedding Accessories


Your All White Winter Wonderland Wedding Shoes
When deciding what shoes you are going to wear, keep in mind COMFORT.  I know we ladies always say beauty hurts.  Of course, no matter how painful those cute stilleto pumps are, we still wear them. But on your wedding day this rule can't apply on your shoes...sorry.  Unless you are changing into flats or you're husband to be is carrying you while you are dancing the night away, I would not recommend that you wear stilletos. Look pretty and enjoy your day! Below I have chosen Your Look for Less.  I have included stilletos for those who can't do without them ( just remember to buy some flats) and some medium low heel shoes.
Shop: Women's White Flat Shoes



The Look: Floral White Shoes  $215.00
the less: White Floral Dress Shoes $54.00 - $55.58

Modern Birdcage Veil

Have to admit when I would see these bird veils, I would ask myself, What are these brides thinking?  But I must also admit that the more I look at these the more I like them, especially with the flower and feathers and not the mention the bling.  I know I could not pull this off myself but good for those who can. 




Not your Traditional Pearl Necklace
Want to be classy with a touch of modern?  In search for your Winter Wedding Accessories, I decided to look for Pearl necklaces that were unique yet affordable.  So below are a couple of my favorite picks for your Winter Wonderland Themed Wedding, all of which are under $50.00. 


For the DIY bride
Came across this lovely DIY flower necklace and thought of you DIY brides.  It's so easy a cave man can do it :)  Love the simplicity yet the elegance this necklace provides.  I think the best part of this necklace is that your guests will be amazed when you tell them you made it yourself ;)

All White Winter Wonderland: All White Wedding Cakes and Cupcakes

Must confess something...I am obsessed with Sweets. Not only did I already post some All White Wedding cakes but I had to continue an additional post because I'm just obsessed.  I mean look at these, I just couldn't end my last post without posting these good looking, elegant, classy, bling shining, edible diamonds, oh so tempting All White wedding cakes:) Don't you agree?

Anyway, in keeping the Budget Conscious Brides in mind and the DIY Brides, I put together some wedding cakes and cupcakes that seemed simple to do by just adding some embellishments.  All white does not mean it has to be plan and boring...add some bling!  Here are some easy and affordable embellishments that will jazz up your Wedding cake or Cupcake look:

1. Cupcake Wrappers  - They have some really nice cupcake wrappers that can really dress up your   plan looking cupcakes.

2. Rhinestone Cake Ribbon- Forget making a wedding ribbon out of fondant.  This is more simple and looks better.

3. Edible Diamonds and Pearls - Don't just wear your diamond, be surrounded by it.

4. Wedding Cake or Cupcake Stand - Whether it be a Cupcake station or just a Wedding cake table, show off your cake.  (Below are some Affordable cake stands)
