    Today I went in for my first fitting and got a chance to see the beautiful ruffles bustled and  my new twigs and honey hair flower and mantilla veil with the dress.  What do you think?  Only 1 month away.  Sealed

    @VirginiaMarie--It is by 2be.  I posted pics a few months ago when I first tried it on so you may remember that.  If there is another bride around here wearing this dress I would LOVE to see pics.  2be is such a small designer I can't find pics anywhere.

    @iceprincess--I honestly knew nothing about bustles so I was thankful the seamstress knew what she was doing.  It turned out beautiful.

    How exciting! You look amazing, and I LOVE that hair flower. (if it comes up missing, I have no idea where it went.)

    @zalonia--I think technically the veil is supposed to be worn higher up around the face but I was playing around with it and am considering wearing it lower like in the picture.  I am back and forth if the veil will make the final cut or not.  The flower is totally in for atleast the reception.  What do you think?  Not both together as I think thats too much.

    A mantilla can be worn in several ways. Traditionally its up framing the face. But when I tried mine on like that it was looking like a I was a jumbo jet with wings about to take off. It also depends how you wear your hair if you had it up or down would be a consideration.

    Miss.skinner you could wear it like ?

    My bustle-so-I-can-hustle :  wedding 343523 maybe?

    love the veil.  love the flower....just not together!  i personally think part of the beauty of the mantilla veil is that it frames the face and having it hang so far in the back seems a little off. i think it would look best closer to the hairline...jmo.  good luck!

    Does the lace on the veil match the lace on the dress? If not,I'd get something a little more simple and sheer. I don't think mantilla veils are right for every dress,but I actually like it better positioned where you have it.

    Your seamstress did a great job on the bustle! Looks like you'll be comfy all night (but make sure you have people who know exactly how to do it for you too!)

    @smyley--The lace on the veil matches the dress perfectly.  I actually had never considered a veil but I just walked past this beautiful ivory one on sale and tried it on for fun.  I have a feeling it may end up being a day of wedding decision.  Probobly veil for ceremony and flower for reception.  To be determined.  haha
