State Parks vs Fabric Stores

One gets ideas from lots of places, but one way to scour the globe is through fabric stores. I've spoken to what seems like every fabric store in the country and have repeat visited fabric stores in all my "home" towns. Now when I travel, I think about fitting at least one fabric store into the itinerary!

Which takes me right back to my childhood. When I was little, my mother was obsessed with state parks. Her goal was to visit every one of the 160 state parks in Florida. So my siblings and I were drug kicking and screaming to each one. Okay, not really, but it sure felt like it when all we wanted to do was visit Mickey Mouse!

So, it looks like my (future) kids will likely complain about the fabric stores I will drag them to in every city, town, or village we visit! Oh, the fun they will have! ;)

Options and Styles A Plenty, Part 2

My last post focused on the variety of gown styles available for all the brides-to-be out there. Well, this is the followup...

Not only are there a wide variety of gowns, but there is also a wide variety of veils. And the beauty of it is that there are no rules! So you picked the dress that made you feel like a million bucks (or would it be a billion nowadays?) and you are glowing. Well, now it's time for the icing ... and you can have any kind you want! French/Russian Netting. Tulle. Swiss Dot. Birdcage. Fingertip. Chapel. Cathedral. Blusher. Abstract. Sparkly. Simple. Extravagant. Flowery. Lacey. Symmetrical. Asymmetrical. Vintage. Ribboned. Fascinator. Headband. Tiara. Ring of Flowers. Pearls. Swarovski.

But fear not, for the choice is yours and as I always say, "the bride gets what the bride wants."
