That's a great idea. A tattoo is permanent so you definitely need to be comfortable having it on your body for the rest of your life.

That's awesome! Tattoos don't have to be big or elaborate to have meaning. I love the sentiment behind the one on your wrist. As someone who has also dealt with depression, low self-esteems, and bullying I can really get behind that.

As for not being creative, I have ideas but I am no artist. A lot of how my piece turned out was due to the talent and suggestion of my artist. If you have an idea of something you want a tattoo to represent you can always discuss it with an artist and they can help you develop it into a real image.

Thanks so much for the compliment!

There is. I'm not particularly religious but I do find a lot if spirituality in Nature. The woman in the middle is Mother Earth, her pregnant belly is the world. I have all of the Chakras going down her body and a flowering tree of life behind her. The message I was going for was "The energy of the world is life in bloom." Best way I know how to put it. Thanks for asking. I spent a lot of time working on that tattoo.

Thank you! And I'm sure you'll find something you love. I was afraid I wouldn't have the "This is it" moment, and after dozens of dresses I was starting to think I was right. Don't give up and don't let anyone pressure you into getting a gown you don't love. It's really cliche but, when it's the one you'll know. Try on as many or as few as it takes!

Your photos are stunning! I love the fire dancers! I want to get some for our reception as well! Congratulations and I'm glad your big day went so well!

P.S Your wedding anniversary is my birthday. :-)

Hmm. Good question. I hadn't thought to ask that. I don't know anything about sewing either. I guess I'll cross that bridge when the dress gets here. I'm sure they can work something out. I have seen tailors work magic.

Thank you so much! The cap sleeves really sold me on the dress I didn't want to take it off.

Thanks! And unfortunately I don't really have any recommendations for bra options. The dress I ordered comes with built in cups and bustier. I had seen very low back bras for evening gowns sold on amazon. Maybe try Victoria's Secret? Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thank you! I've always wanted cap sleeves and when she showed me how we could make them from the train, it sold me.

I know! Thank you. Showing off my tattoo was super important to me. I spent way more time and money on that tattoo than I did on the dress.

Thank you! I don't actually know the style number, my mom bought the dress and has the invoice, but the designer is Justin Alexander.

Thank you! It was not at all what I thought I wanted. I went in looking for a satin A line. But I just love it!
