I always thought it made me look more dressy. And I second Wendy -- I made mine with a friend with directions of the internet -- with the crystal comb, crystals scattered about and waist length, I spent about $30. It was SO easy. Definitely borrow the crinoline. Or can you rent one in DC? I drove all the way to Rockville to buy mine and it was WAY overpriced.Heather Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066996569042347677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-47378130035819540932008-06-17T02:19:00.000-04:002008-06-17T02:19:00.000-04:00I believe you should in fact ask for the pony.It's...I believe you should in fact ask for the pony.<BR/><BR/>It's funny, with so many people I know (or bloggie friends who I feel like I know) getting engaged, it has me thinking about my own wedding and wow, I don't know, every time I think about it I realize I want to be more and more low key about it.nicole antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867096106743131289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-52718436587990392942008-06-15T21:00:00.000-04:002008-06-15T21:00:00.000-04:00Canaan - That is great advice.

When it's on you will know immediatly if you want one or not. I started off with 'no veil' mindset and put one on and didn't look back. Well, I looked back at the CATHEDRAL LENGTH veil I wore. I actually found mine at a resale shop for $25!

When I was trying on dresses, I had put on a few before the saleslady pulled out The Dress for me to consider. It didn't look like much on the hanger, but when I put it on, I looked in the mirror and promptly burst into tears. The saleslady drily remarked, "I guess we've found it."<BR/><BR/>I think it's soooo cool that your mom wore (and made) your dress. What a treat for both of you, to have you look gorgeous and to have so much history and emotion wrapped up in the garment as well.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574959237959082661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-77568099809992382502008-06-13T14:15:00.000-04:002008-06-13T14:15:00.000-04:00"The era of the crazy pointy bra is long past.

The dress is beautiful, even more so with your bright, smiling self wearing it gracefully. <BR/><BR/>I usually don't give advice but strongly suggest having a veil. Make one, buy one, whatever, but have a veil. Maybe not for all brides but with your dress, oh, so pretty. <BR/><BR/>Unlike a fragile wedding dress which is an ordeal to take out of storage, you can wear a veil again. Around the house. It's easy. I've done it a few times. It's so fun and girly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-50639187634779951742008-06-13T13:11:00.001-04:002008-06-13T13:11:00.001-04:00Appropriate, schmapropriate!
