Thanks! HamiHarri — glad you found the answers!

I’m gonna do a post on the makeup I used soon, too… I don’t think I ever blogged about it, now that I’m trying to recall. I know I didn’t make the final decisions as to what exactly I was going to use, until the day of… hehe. For anyone else wondering the same things: my dress was a Jasmine Couture and the bms’ dresses were all custom-made… I seriously think it’s the way to go for beautiful and not-too-expensive dresses!

You look gorgeous! I can’t wait to see more pictures! I love your hair and the funny pictures of your bridesmaids!

Hi! Thanks for all of the compliments. davisb, I loved my dress sooo much — I’m sure you do too

Jen, the girls all had different outfits — they had a choice from several different tops and skirts and could combine as they wanted. They were located all over CA so they each handled their dresses separately in terms of seamstresses. I put together packages with all of the fabric, patterns, and notions they would need once they’d chosen their outfits and they took it from there (I wouldn’t recommend different seamstresses if you want them all to have the same dress, because each person sews differently, but in this case that didn’t matter). The prices ranged from $50-90, I think — about what they would have paid to get a ready-made dress altered. I sew myself and was originally contemplating making them… yeah I got talked out of that pretty quickly, eheh… though I did end up making some slight alterations to my MOH’s dress.

For fabrics, I went to Silk Road Fabrics in Oakland (www.silkroadfabric.com) and there was a large bulletin board there full of seamstresses’ business cards. You might want to go there and write down a bunch!! Debra from Dori Anne Veils, where I bought my own dress, has a list of reputable Bay Area seamstresses that she gives to customers too. HTH!

And hi SUE!!

Mrs. Plumeria, you look gorgeous! Natural and radiant. And really happy!!
