    Weddingbee has been a great source for me, so I just wanted to share one tip back to the hive.

    This especially for Catholic kneeling brides:

    Be sure to lift up your dress before kneeling on it, just a bit. After each kneel, I felt my strapless dress nudge down just a bit. My completely modest strapless got a bit more showy as the mass went on. But nothing too drastic, thank goodness.

    And for those with special cushions, the Mexican traditions, have your SO hold the cushions on the kneelers. Ours kept sliding off.

    Thanks, weddingbee. I don't know how I'd have done it without you!

    @BethWil: Haha that's a good idea that I'm sure other brides wouldn't have thought about. Congrats.

    Great tip!  Thank you!  I've also heard that when buying your dress, try kneeling in it (if that's what your church does).  A friend bought a fully beaded gown, and every time she knelt, the beads would dig into her legs!  Yikes!

    i second the "kneeling while trying on dresses" idea... there were some that were nearly impossible to kneel and get back up in.... i was so glad i tried to kneel in them; i was surprised that some were as difficult as they were...
