For those of you who missed the saga Casablanca Fluting earlier in the week, but at 950, it seemed more than I should spend for an elopement dress. I went back on Thursday evening, tried it again and without even trying to negotiate the price, the owner told me not to worry about the alterations and told me she would sell it to me for $700 because she needed the room and just started an inventory sale in the newspaper. OK!! I knew I could get it for around 650 on-line, plus expedite charges, plus alteration charges, plus worry time for me!!! So, all in all, a lot more than I wanted to spend, but it is a gorgeous dress and we are going to make some substantial changes to the top.
I love this Mon Cheri dress: Mon Cheri dress
We are definitely adding sleeves to my dress, which will be the fluting type fabric, facing downward, with a shorter lace overlay, and we may copy the top of the Mon Cheri dress, but I have not entirely thought it through yet.
Sooooooooooooo, what about the mantilla, can I still wear one? Or, is it too much lace? Do I have to wear a sheer veil with no lace? Seriously, I have even started thinking of a birdcage veil, in the past few days? I am the least decisive girl ever!!!!! You are all so lucky to have me!!!
On a totally separate note, I''ve noticed a few people have posted individual bride''s blogs from the knot, but I cannot find that section of the knot myself? Must start scouring for hair and flowers. Can anyone direct me, please.
Thanks for all of your help everyone!! I don''t know what I would have done without all of your help and support!!
