Okay so I'm a little sad. The best laid plans ... well we all know what happens.
I had my portrait June 11th. We were looking at the pictures and the veil is just NOT the same color as the dress. It almost looks BLEACH white compared to my dress. So, mom is going to tea-dye the lace that she put on the veil (for a second time, I assume) to see if we can get it to match, we'll have to get a second hair appointment (at $60 per appointment that's not cheap!) and get the photographer again. Hopefully we can get it all to happen on a day when parking is free at the place where we want to do the picture.
I've shed enough tears about this. Everything else in the wedding planning process has been fine. Mom was trying to "play it safe" on dying the veil, and now it's going to cost us at least another $100. And of course she's blaming me for not telling her that I wanted something changed on the veil. She was the one who assured me that the color matched. When it was put on my head at the hair salon I couldn't see if the color matched anymore, she assured me it was fine. Well, we have picture evidence ... either she didn't dye it initially, or she just wasn't looking in natural light. And I'm just not sure why in the world I'm the one getting blamed. All I'm doing now is trying to be proactive and trying to suggest that we dye the veil again and take both dress and veil to sunlight (outside) to make sure that they match in natural light. Seriously. UGHHHHHHHH.
Oh, and now we have to get a second portrait shoot done, in enough time to get the photos back AND order the canvas print so that we have the canvas in time for the wedding .... time is definitely getting away from us.
Vent over.
July 16, Our Wedding Day, is also International Juggling Day!
