Here's a pic of my realtouch bouquet! Just came in today, and I love it!

If you don't bustle, you run the risk of it getting filthy and/or stepped on after the wedding. I say bustle!

I'm going with realtouch flowers. I have a clay hair flower, and it is pretty delicate. I wouldn't want a whole large bouquet in that.

If you're really concerned (and I would be, honestly, I can't imagine salt water would be good for silk) you could always get one of those cheap CHinese knockoffs that looks like your dress to trash instead. I got one from dressilyme, and it's actually very nice, especially for $100.

You should probably post this question in the knockoff dresses topic, but I've seen good and bad things about Milly. Good is the quality. Bad is how long their ship dates have stretched out to. RIght now it's actually running in the six month mark! Here's a good place to go for both the bad AND the good: Milly Dress Brides - Boards - Project Wedding If you don't want to wait six months for Milly, or that board scares you off, I had a dress made by dressilyme that looked very nice and was half the price of Milly. Came in very quickly, too.

I'm trying to find a photographer that won't cost an arm and a leg, but who does a good job with the pictures.

ballerina, your dress is gorgeous! I'm glad it turned out well for you.

Has anyone else had trouble getting PhotoSouvenir to reply? We'd like to add an extra hour on to the basic package, and would like to see what they charge for just a photo album. I don't need the painted picture. :-/ Also, when did the wedding planner start talking to you about your wedding? My fiance is supposed to be doing the planning for me, but I'm pretty sure he's not actually doing anything at the moment.

Hmm, anyone know a good place to go around Washington DC?

Meitra - all white bouquets can be pretty, but they can also get lost against your dress if you're wearing a white dress.

Another awesome site for these types of sales is Rue La La. They're also having a Cuisinart sale today that I was pretty tempted by.

I just got my knockoff TTD dress from Dressilyme, and I'm very happy with it. The last one is closer to the true color, it's a lovely pale ivory, not yellowish at all. Best of all... it was $140, including shipping!
