I've been wondering when you'd post pics of the finished gown!  Gorgeous, really an amazing job.  Clearly you're very talented and have a ton of patience.  Well done.

I'm posting the last of the "Our DIY Wedding" blog posts today so I thought it'd be good to link to all the other stuff we made/did ourselves in case it helps others planning their wedding (and seriously, loads of it was really easy to do - I fully acknowledge that not everyone can sew!).


And I've posted up a selection of our professional photos here, too. We were RIDICULOUSLY happy with Paul Tanner at Sixpence and I think the photos speak for themselves (and he really was not exorbitantly expensive, either!!).

I'll copy this link list to the first post, too. Hmm, I don't have a Modify button on the first post anymore - maybe it's too old? Sorry, inconvenienced future brides!
