About Me: I’m a Gemini to the extreme. On one side, I’m a girly girl. I read countless bridal and fashion magazines, and have an obsession with keeping up with the latest Hollywood gossip. On the other side, I’m a sports fanatic. Despite being a full-time bride-to be, full-time research assistant, and part-time student, I’m also a full-time Red Sox fan from spring training to October, and a full-time Patriots fan from mini-camp to February. I devote almost as much time researching my for fantasy football team as researching for our wedding!
End of the Night Dress, Take 2
May 6th, 2008 @ 1:13 pm by Miss Toucan
A while ago, I asked the Hive’s opinion on a dress for the end of the night. As I mentioned then, it is customary for Chinese brides to wear multiple dresses on her wedding day - the traditional white wedding dress for the ceremony, a Chinese wedding dress (or qipao) during the reception, and another dress at the end of the night to bid farewell to the guests. Some of you had thought that the dress was probably better suited for the rehearsal dinner or day after BBQ, and Daddy and Mommy Toucan agreed with you! So… it was back to the drawing board!
After my hair and makeup trial, I went shopping with Mommy Toucan (ooooh, I felt so high class with my makeup and hair-did! 
). I still wanted a shorter length gown, but it had to be more formal than the previous dress I picked.
We finally agreed on this (click to enlarge):
Tea-length like I wanted, and more formal (check out the beading!) like the parents Toucan wanted! 
What do you think? Do I have Hive approval too? Better than the last dress?
