    I posted before about tea-dying my aunts (VERY WHITE) veil to try and get it to match my Alabaster dress.  I also spent all day individually ironing on crystals and removing the 1980s headband to replace with combs. (The crystals only subtley show up in photos but sparkle nicely in real life when hit with light)  I was proud and thought I did a good job, but my mom had a VERY bad reaction, and was convinced I made it way too brown.  Needless to say, I was super disappointed and angry and felt like I'd wasted tons of time and recked my aunts veil.

    Well tonight we finally went to the bridal salon and held it up against my dress - and ITS PERFECT!  Even my mom was shocked and said that it was great, and was thrilled that I no longer need to purchase a new veil.  Yay!!

    Good job! That must have been a nerve-wracking process, but it turned out so well. :)
