Jill,
I love your dress. I really like that style and wouldn't mind trying something like that for myself. I'm also drawn to a lot of Princess Mary dresses, especially her Unspoken Romance collection (
www.marysbridals.com) since I can't seem to figure out how to insert pictures into Greek chat here are some style numbers I like if you visit their website #F035169, F986861 (I especially liked the back of this one just get rid of the big bow) There are others I liked bits and pieces of.
I'm a very large woman so what I will probably do is find a seamstress and have the dress made. That way I can pick and choose the sleeves, skirt, top, etc from different patterns and see if I can combine them into the dress I want. I don't really like sleeveless dress either. I do want a low neckline such as a sweetheart or v-neck. Dress has to be white.
I will definitely get married in my church, going to have lots of candles and want to have a family member from both families walk down the aisle to light the two altar candles that we will then use to light the unity candle - signifying the joining of the two families into one.
My favorite flower is freesia so I want to incorporate those in to my flowers. But of course I want to put in the American Beauty Rose in to my bouquet somehow - even though it is difficult to find florist that can get that flower.
I want to have my bridesmaids get something they can wear again. I was thinking maybe black skirt (that can later be shortened to wear more cocktail style) and a separate top that can be used on it's own too.
Music, I really like Pachelbels Cannon and want that for the bridesmaids to walk down. I love John Denver's "For you" and would like that played at the wedding. Also, I love From this Moment (the duet version) and kind of want that played.
On my 5 year anniversary I want to go up to the California Redwoods to a tourist place called Trees of Mystery and do a renewal of our vows at the Cathedral Tree. This has got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. On my 10 year anniversay I want to do a renewal of vows at Disneyland or Disneyworld.
Oh well, this is all still dreaming.....someday I'll find the right man.
