    I just got a comment notification for my dress shopping post, which made me notice the train on my wedding gown.. which I hadn't noticed in my professional pictures from the day. Alas, when I looked at my ceremony pictures, my dress was bustled. Fail.

    So if you're taking photos before the ceremony and bustle your gown, tell everyone around you to unbustle it before the ceremony :( It seems really obvious (it is!), but it's a detail that can apparently get overlooked!

    aww! I agree, it still looked beautiful!

    Problem solved for me, I dont want any pictures before (or after) the ceremony with the bustle because i definitely dont like the dress bustled as much as non-bustled. :-)

    If it makes you feel any better, I totally went down the aisle in my first wedding with my dress bustled. Happens to the best of us.

    (We all realized when I got to the altar and my MOH jumped to unbustle and fluff the train. Which was probably more offensive than just leaving it be!)

    If it helps, it still looked gorgeous and dramatic!

    Aw thanks :) Dumb little things like this gnaw at me, but yes, not a big deal in the scheme of things!

    At the same point, remind someone to bustle your dress before your first dance!  We totally forgot that!  I had left it unbustled for some of the pictures and never did it before we were announced.

    Eh it doesn't look that different bustled!

    if I could I'd have mine bustled the whole time.. it's one of the big reasons I bought it.  it just makes the dress look so cool because the train is unusual

    Sigh, I wish I had bustled mine BEFORE the ceremony! It was such a pain to carry around. Yours looks gorgeous both ways, no worries!
