Are you ready to look at more wedding dresses? I hope so, because I have a bunch to share with you today. Lena and I have been enjoying your comments from Part One of this series, learning which dresses you like best so far, and seeing some of those dresses differently based on your insights. For example, thanks to Alison, now we know about "bouncy" seams, and are a bit less enamored with the overly-shiny fabrics. I also feel like we might have missed a great opportunity by not considering a custom dress--especially now that some of Lena's preferences are becoming clear.
So far I've learned that she likes a bit of drama, especially in the back of the dress. She also likes off-white, as it compliments her complexion, and lace seems to make her happy. She doesn't like flowers or bows very much, and certainly won't be wearing a short dress to her wedding. And we might have to reconsider the idea of an up-do for her hair. I've enjoyed seeing how pretty and natural she looks with her hair down.
On the other hand, some wedding up-dos are spectacular, and make me reconsider. For example, check out the hair (and tiara!) on Reem Acra's beautiful Barbie bride:
