Success! We found a gooorgeous ivory gown yesterday with a dropped waist and a bodice with the palest of pink pearls and a pale pink hem. All these other brides and their moms kept walking by and saying things like, "I haven't seen the rest on you but this is your gown!"
So then we met the florist and instead of fall colors, she'll be going with very pale shell pink and pale green. There's a new rose out, Esperance, that's light pink and green and ivory and that'll probably be the feature flower.
I haven't quit smiling yet.
