My Wedding Dress Has Arrived!

After 47 emails between the Chinese dress company and me, my dress is finally here! It is better than I expected it to be. I am sure glad I asked for pictures of the finished dress. I had all the problems fixed before it left the factory. They extended the train by 2 times what they originally made. It was very well made and the fabric...although not as heavy as the high end ones at the bridal store ...it was not a major difference and they looked the same. I do need the top fitted just a little more other than that it is perfect.  Heck $200 shipped and I received an extra petticoat..  I am one happy bride :)



The dress before they altered picture taken with out a petticoat. It still looks good to me. 

Guest book table and the crystal tree

I have have been collecting rocks all summer for my guest book. I thought it would be super cool if I had a crystal tree surrounded with rocks and moss. OMG! Who knew a branch plastered in a pot with some garland would be so expensive.  I am purchasing some 50lb plaster for another wedding project and I have plenty of tree branches available.  I also have a big flower pot... Crystal. I can go two ways on this one the super cheap way with acrylic... or the more expensive way.  I found acrylic garland 30 feet for $22 or 30 feet of glass for $75.
