OK I'm a few days behind...working seems to get in the way
Dress envy-Yup. I get it all the time...but my mom had tears in her eyes when I tried my gown on-just like her mom did. So, that dress is mine..Now tiara or no tiara...that's another story
I love the hanger...just one suggestion...I wouldn't take it on the plane with you...it's wire...it's twisted...it would probably throw up a red flag and require a search...just a thought.

I'm having a similar problem. I am pretty sure I have decided on a birdcage veil since I try it on every time we go to DB and I love it.
Thanks for the tip about the airplane!

What does the carpet look like at the WP? Photo please?

I thought they were going to change the carpet? I thought I saw another bride post that?

At one time I thought the birdcage veil was pretty, but I think a fingertip or elbow veil would actually be better with your dress. You can remove it and wear the feather for the reception, but somehow, I get the feeling Eric (with all his traditional ideas) is looking forward to lifting the blusher.

Oh I don't if they are changing the carpet! I wonder what they would change it too.

I have tried on several veils and while I liked the cathedral length, once I put it together it just wasn't me. I definitely liked the birdcage the best and I am sure Eric will be fine with it.

There have been several comments about how I am going to dissapoint Eric...I guess I don't get it. While I don't think my dress is what he imagined, I don't think he will be dissapointed...by that or my choice of accessories. Did other people have grooms that were dissapointed in their choices?

Honestly, the way I see it, it is your day (as much as it is his). Show who you are, and wear what you want. I don't even care what DF thinks about what I am wearing...because I know he won't even think about judging what I am wearing....he will just be happy we are in disney getting married. I am sure your DF will be the same as well!

Sorry, a bit of a rampage....but I just think in general, you should always dress for yourself, not other people (especially on your wedding day). Some brides may feel differently, and that is fine, it is their choice....but don't let it influence yours I think a big thing I have learned over the past couple years is that I can listen to other peoples opinions, but I can't let them run my life!

I think you will look beautiful, no matter what you choose!

Thank you! I feel the same way. Do I want Df to like what I wear...have I mentioned before that I'm not sure how he'll feel about my dress...SURE!! BUT, I love my dress. Everytime I try it on I receive compliments. My grandma actually gasped when she saw it. So in the end I know he will love it (and whatever else I pick out too). One of the main reasons I haven't switched my dress is because it's sooo me! I do love all the other dress I see, but in the end when I try them on I'm not as happy as I am with my dress!

Thank you again!!!!

I don't think you are going to disappoint him...I said that DH wouldn't have cared what I wore..only that I was there. I just was thinking with all his very traditional ideas of weddings (big poofy dress, not having a reveal, not being together the day of the wedding) he would enjoy a blusher. Really, I don't think grooms notice the little things we sweat over..DH said he thought I looked amazing walking down the aisle, but it was the overall thing..not that I was wearing my grandmothers crystals, or my veil piece had the same pearl design as my dress..know what I mean? Just the whole package..so I don't think he would be disappointed unless you walked down the aisle in street clothes or some weird, Fredrick's of Hollywood corset thing.

A cathedral veil is VERY heavy I think..I originally was going to wear the short veil I had from our original wedding but changed to the fingertip and glad I did..it made for some great shots with the deck breeze.

First off, I love birdcage veils. They are so stylish and sleek, and very fitting with your dress, which I feel has a more modern (the pleating in the front) yet vintage (the beaded band along the waist) style. Because of this, it is a perfact dress for the Hollywood glam accessories. I love it!

And I don't think Betsy was suggesting you would disappoint your finacee, rather he seems to enjoy some of those more traditional elements during a wedding, which is perfectly fine. This is, after all, the only wedding he will be having from here on out!

If you think he would enjoy the blusher type veil, incorporate in a different part of the day. For example, considering all of the lingerie talk we have been having lately rotfl, find a cute/sexy/whatever your style little negligee for yourself (and for pictures with that hanger, of course!) and buy a cheap little blusher veil to wear with it on your wedding night. I see this a lot in boudoir pictures that women often make for their husbands as their wedding gifts, and they always turn out fabulous! This way, your wedding night will be just as memorable as the wedding day for him!

Agreed, boys are so bad at that!

As long as your are happy and glowing on your wedding day, your husband-to-be will certainly reciprocate those same feelings. YOU have to feel confident about yourself on what will probably be one of the most nerve wracking days of your life. So if you love how you look, I am sure he will too!

Before our wedding, I'm sure my husband would have imagined me in a strapless dress. But I tried on strapless and they just didn't look right on me. I ended up going with halter. I found it was most flattering. So while I did keep my husband in mind while picking out dresses, I definitely went with what I thought looked best (and what I was comfortable in.)

Do you have pictures of your veil? I'm sorry but I have the worst memory.

You said your Grandma gasped at your dress. I thought you weren't on speaking terms with your grandmas? Are things better now? I hope so.

Here's a pic of the veil I just bought(in ivory):

I wanted a relatively small one...not too low on my face.

Oh and different grandma (mom's mom). She actually lives with my parents so has been kinda involved in the wedding. I still haven't spoken to or heard from my other grandmother.

Lol what a cute idea!!!

I think he will ultimately like it...but I agree, I need to be me I just think it's not a "look" that he would every think of. He did request cleavage from my dress though, lol (Church cleavage ) So I think he will be happy!

Ok so I know I posted earrings a bit ago that my mom bought me, but I'm not sold on them yet. I found these on Etsy and can't get them out of my head. What do you think??

 

[Kimmers127]

LOVE those earrings... they're very glam and I think they'll go really well with your dress.

I just read your whole (new) PJ... I AM SO FREAKING JEALOUS OF YOUR AK RECEPTION!!! Omg. It's going to be so beautiful and dramatic and very you... it's perfect. And your dress is the perfect dramatic contrast to the space. I can't wait to see the pictures! You can tell you finally have the perfect wedding plan because you're so excited and have so many great ideas for it. Love the animal cake as well. I can't wait to see the rest of your plans... you have some great ideas and it seems like you've found lots of ways to put a really personal spin on your Disney wedding.

 

[figment fan21]

wow i really like those earrings from etsy!.... hmmm idk which i like better though,the ones mom got you or those... either one would be beautiful

 

[LLLBelle]

I think the cage veil will look awesome with your dress. It's beautiful. The earrings look pretty, I'm not sure about the pearl on it though, maybe if the pearl was a bit smaller

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Those earrings are really pretty! My only concern is the clip on part. I know for me, after awhile, clip on earrings tend to hurt after awhile.

Oh I like those earrings. I don't really know how/why, but they seem to really fit the feel of your dress. I like the ones your mom got too, but there's something totally striking about those.

I didn't think they were clip on... Looks to me like the thing on the left flicks open, you put it through your ear and then flick it shut again.

By the way, going back a page. I actually like the WP carpet

Ohhh, yeah! I see it now! The little knobby things that they are hanging off of were throwing me off.

Oh thank you!!!

You know I was just telling this to someone the other day...Eric's first adult trip to Disney (his second ever) was this past June. He was excited to go but not overly excited...until he saw this special on AK and AKL. He absolutely fell in love! Once we got there it just sealed it for him. I think we went to AK 4 times on our last trip. We are really excited about this and the more we plan the more we realize it fits us. We know we have some restrictions with that site but we still love it!

wow i really like those earrings from etsy!.... hmmm idk which i like better though,the ones mom got you or those... either one would be beautiful

I can't decide...there is just something about this pair!

I think the cage veil will look awesome with your dress. It's beautiful. The earrings look pretty, I'm not sure about the pearl on it though, maybe if the pearl was a bit smaller

It's been so hard to find earrings...the dress itself has no rhinestones or pearls!! I liked this pair because it coordinates a bit with the hair piece and they are a bit vintagey looking. The pearl seems to tie in the ivory color even though there are no pearls, lol.

Oh I like those earrings. I don't really know how/why, but they seem to really fit the feel of your dress. I like the ones your mom got too, but there's something totally striking about those.

Me too!! They are only $15...I think I need to get them and decide.

The carpet is way better than it used to be. I don't mind it too much.

Ohhh, yeah! I see it now! The little knobby things that they are hanging off of were throwing me off.

Lol you had me confused! I had to go back and check them. I think I will be making an etsy purchase today!!

Oh and I will be back later...Eric and I finally sat down last night to talk about floral for the WP and he changed things up a bit
