Bustle on the beach or no

[cutedimplestee]

I'm going to wear mine down during the ceremony and pictures and bustle for the reception.

It will be bustled for the rest of the day I was just thinking on the beach I didnt know If I wanted it down or what. Again it makes me look like and feel I am hiding a tale or something!

I wore mine down for the ceremony and bustled for the reception. When we got home I decided to have my dress dry-cleaned and boxed. When I went to drop it off, the lady at the cleaners asked me if I'd actually worn it yet! So mine didn't get dirty on the sand...

Im not worried about it getting dirty at all im just worried about the look. I know if it gets dirty it will come out!

I vote for leaving it down and then busteling it afterwards when the pictures won't be of your hinder. During the ceremony you'll definitely be able to see "humpback" if it truly looks like that.

I too vote to wear it down during the ceremony and pictures, then bustle for the dinner and dancing. That way you get the best of both worlds.

I'm also voting for leaving it down for the ceremony and then a bustle for the reception. That's what I'm doing and my train is quite similar to yours.

I didn't get married on the beach (I chose the gazebo on the resort instead) however, I DID have my dress bustled for my entire ceremony (I entered with it bustled as well) and I had it up for some pics on the beach until my photog suggested I let the train down for a few pictures, so I indulged him. I am so glad that I let the train down for the pics on the beach as some of those turned out to be my favorites...something about they way the train was blowing in the wind looked gorgeous. So that's my 2 cents, do what you're comfortable with.

 

I'm not going to lie though, the entire underside of my dress is BLACK from dragging it along the sand oh well!

I figure that may happen however the ladies at the salon taught me tricks to get it out without having it Dry cleaned

I guess Ill let it drag making me look like I have a hidden dinosaur tail, hahaha. Im sure it will be fine!

Holly, I don't think I've seen your dress yet! Can you post a pic so I can see this "dinosaur" tail you speak of? lol I'm sure it doesn't look like that at all.
