Adding black to my dress thoughts

Mindy, on March 14, 2017 at 11:50 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 54

So I wanted to wear an all black wedding dress to our wedding but my fh had a fit. We are having a black and white wedding and so I wanted to add black to my dress then. I bought a pure white dress and got heavy duty fabric glue and glued black gems onto the dress. Then I wanted a veil to match. But I wanted thoughts if it is to much or just right.

    I think that was a nice way to incorporate what you both wanted!

    Good job! It's a great compromise.

    I agree with @FML. I wouldn't add anything else though!

    I like it! Was definitely skeptical when you said you used fabric glue, but it looks really good!

    A bride here wore a black gown and it was stunning. I wore a grey one. I think colored dresses are beautiful and adding to your dress is a great compromise.

    Not to mention my mom had a fit I wanted to wear a black dress, but then she doesn't think I should wear a wedding dress anyways because it is a 2nd wedding or even have a wedding since it is a 2nd marriage. So just having an issue there. Lol

    Yes I was also super skeptical when you said you were gluing on the gems but this actually looks really great. I think it was the perfect way to compromise on what both you and FH wanted!

    I think it's a perfect touch of "you" to compromise!
