LOVE the mantilla, your mom is super talented!

And my guy has seen "The Dress" as well. I wanted to make sure it was something he liked too!

That is the cutest cake I have ever seen!

And, your dress and veil were beautiful! Your mom did a wonderful job on the veil!

Well, you should tell your Mom she could start a business:). It looks like it is square or rectangular too, which I also really like. Go Mom!!!

After I bought my dress, it hung in our wardrobe until we were ready to go. I was honestly surprised when people were surprised that he had seen me in the qipao already.

Thank god- other people that have picked the dress together. People keep looking at me like I'm a complete freak when they find out we chose it together! And… more shock- its red!
Congrats Elisa- you look amazing

Thank you, Bluey!

My mother actually made the veil for me. She took some tulle, took a length of lace, hand-beaded it, and (pardon the pun) married the two together.

She got the lace at Jo-Ann Fabrics!

What an amazing mantilla veil – I've never seen one with such a pretty circular patterned lace. LOVE!!

I find it interesting how many "traditions" stem from the days when a bride was a piece of property, sold by her male relatives to a man who literally paid for her. We've evolved past that definition of marriage but we hold on to all kinds of vestigial reminders of it, and I think it's weird.
