    i've been reading all the posts by all you talented ladies, and i saw the thread of a month ago about wedding dresses. so i'm thinking, any of you ladies like to make my dress? here's a ballpark of what i want--

    -tea length or longer
    -tightish top
    -i'd like to have some support built in or be able to wear a bra. i just don't like flopping about
    -no flounces
    -kinda hippie, but not TOO much...
    -maybe a cream color base, with flowers? definately not straight up white

    keep in mind that this will be my second wedding, and i am forty years old, so not too girly...
    we're getting married july 16th, on the beach. i might not want the top TOO open as i don't want to fry.
    anybody be interested in working with me, or share their website with me so that i can see what you've already made?

    My wife purchased her handfasting dress through a home company called: Highland Rags ( www.highlandrags.com ) They were very friendly and atentive to her needs. She paid $80 for her dress. You can see pics of her dress here: www.unklejohn.com/handfasting.htm

    Hope this helps you out!

    A friend of mine (who used to live in Hawaii) made those toppers for me ( I collect Tikis). The cake was made by my mother. The cake was a pineapple cake with rolled fondont (sp) icing with ribbon wrapped around it. My grooms cake (which was eaten before any pictures could be made) was an "earthquake cake". Basically a German chocolate upsidedown cake. It was delicious. Well both was.

    Beautiful wedding pics. It must have been a blast. I tried to go to your web site, but none of the buttons seem to be working. I couldn't see any of your merchandise. Is it you or is it me??

    Dakota's Mom, I'm working as fast as I can to get the website up and running. When I do upoad all the pages, the links will be clickable. But i'm afraid my shopping cart program is still going to be down. there will be instructions on ordering on the site and emails. Thanks for looking gang, my wife and I are getting excited about getting it online.
