There was some heavy white lace left over from my mums wedding dress which I made into 2 ring cushions which my nephews dragged along the (horse &) carriage wheels
I wore my mum's wedding dress!
My mum is Indian so we wore a sari rather than a traditional white wedding dress handy as saris don't really change with the fashions
It is gorgeous handmade/embroidered gold silk and I felt very special wearing it. It made mum really happy too as it was a nice way to make reference to my heritage. DH loved it too, he thought it was all rather exotic! The best thing was the sari hid the fact I was 7 months pg...you couldn't tell until I stood sideways, even then they're pretty good at hiding sins
i wouldn't have worn my mothers wedding dress in a pink fit. it was all frilly and just blech! but my nans (mums mum) i could have seen myself in. but she sold it not long after she got married (married in the depression years) as for my gran (dads mum) she got married in a knee length skirt and jacket type thing.
I'm keeping my wedding dress for if i have a little girl she may like it ( its a ball gown when its got a hoop under it with a train) it can be altered fairly easy-ly as it waa for me i was just over 7months UTD and you could only tell if i stood side ways or had my hands resting on the bump
I have loved my mums dress ever since i could remember. I had always told her i wanted to wear it, but sadly, I did not inherit the big chest that my mum has. It had those BIG sleeves on it like the bell bottom pants? What are they called? I can't think lol!
