Dress ideas?!

Daughter wanted to wear her grandmother's wedding dress (which I and my sister had also worn), but it was 4" too short and there was just no way to make it work. We cut a long piece of the lace from the sleeve and the florist used that to wrap around daughter's bouquet stems. She said it was like "gramma was holding her hand all day." You could similarly use some of the fabric to wrap your stems and/or have a pocket square made for FH. So sweet! (Daughter and SIL met freshman year and became an exclusive couple mid-way through their sophomore year. She had quite a collection of photographs from all those school dances, graduations, etc., that they'd shared during the eight years before they got married. On Shutterfly she created a ~ 9x13" photo book titled, "Our Story" that she displayed at both the RD and at the wedding. It had a selection of photos starting with the night he asked her to "be his girlfriend" when she was 15 through their engagement photos....) Congratulations!

I'm not sure what style your wedding dress is, but with the style of your prom dress (my wedding dress is similar and going to have ruching) - I am going to incorporate a seam of flowers through the seams of the bust area. Can you find a way to do something similar with your dress? Use the purple to accent some of your dress?

I loved the idea of using it around your flowers or wedding decorations. That would allow maximum use.
