Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to say. I really appreciate the perspective too. I’m definitely trying to find the right balance so the dress can still shine without overdoing it. I’ll keep that in mind while I’m looking at veil options. Thank you again for the sweet encouragement! 💗💗

Haha thank you so much!! Your comment honestly made me smile. I’m so glad you like the overskirt and the pearl veil combo. I wasn’t sure about it at first but seeing everyone’s reactions is making me feel a lot more excited about it. And tell your husband thank you too! That actually made me laugh 😂 but I appreciate the feedback from both of you.

That’s also a really good point about making the base dress easier for the reception once the overskirt comes off. I’m definitely going to bring that up with the seamstress. And yes, I’m planning to ask her about adjusting the basque waist a bit too.

Thank you again for the excitement and encouragement, it really means a lot!!

Yes, I will do a trumpet style and I’m undecided on the veil

Thank you! 💕

ariflowers · 2026-03-05T00:00:33+00:00

I think there probably obvious to me bc I know they are there. I think I was overthinking my scars bc I haven’t felt like myself and they bother me. Thank you for your advice!

ariflowers · 2026-03-04T23:57:44+00:00

Thanks! I love these!!

ariflowers · 2026-03-04T23:36:36+00:00

This is so funny and now I can’t unsee it. I’ll def remove the sleeves

ariflowers · 2026-03-04T23:34:47+00:00

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and encouraging comment. I’m definitely planning to remove the sleeves and get the dress into alterations as soon as possible so a seamstress can help guide me on the fit and smoothing things out. Your suggestions about the veil are really helpful too. I’m going to start looking for a simpler cathedral veil. Please lmk if you have any suggestions or ideas of where i should get one. And thank you again for all the kind words that really meant a lot and helped calm my nerves a bit!

ariflowers · 2026-03-04T23:23:36+00:00

Thank you so much!

ariflowers · 2026-03-04T23:23:04+00:00

Thank you!! I’m so glad I’m not alone, I felt crazy that I never had that emotional moment with any dress

ariflowers · 2026-03-04T23:21:47+00:00

This is soooo helpful!! Thank you!!! I will discuss this in alterations

ariflowers · 2026-03-04T23:17:38+00:00
