A Wedding Tale

Happy Mother's Day to those celebrating today!!
I have a friend getting married and it's been so exciting to be a part of her wedding planning from the engagement until now.  The wedding is just a few weeks away and Heather's mom is making her wedding dress.  Heather has given me permission to share some of the pictures on my blog.

Her mom took off work last week and came to spend the week completing the dress.  As we near the end of the weekend, I'm sure the dress is finished but this was how it looked mid-week.  

The underlay
I just love the added tulle detail!

I can't wait to see the final product!  Heather is going to be a beautiful bride and following this magical spring wedding she and hubby are off to honeymoon in Italy!  You have to take a moment to see the hotel where they will be staying - incredible!  Heather did some serious shopping to nail this trip on a budget but she did it!!  Click here to visit the site of Rome Cavalieri.
