This is my PSA to all future brides. Make sure that the person lacing up your dress (if you have a corset style) actually KNOWS what the hell they are doing so your dress actually looks the way it's supposed to on your wedding day.
I was looking at my wedding photos this morning, and to my devastation, there is not only a lump near my butt where the laces end (which gaped progressively through the day, visible in the pictures) but it's actually only tight as it should be at my waist and loose at the bust AND the bottom. My MOH tied it in a single knot at the bottom, it came loose and the panel is sticking out it where it came undone. I feel intense rage and I've been crying, and it's ridiculous to be mad at her, but I am. I know it sounds crazy but when it's your perfect dress sand everything else was so great, the realization that the one tangible thing (photos) that I have from that day are disappointing because my dress looked awful and I looked awful too.
Don't simply have your MOH or Mom do it for tradition's sake. Get your photo op sure, but have someone who actually cares or knows how to do it properly if they don't. Six bridesmiads and my mother and not one of them thought to mention that the panel was sticking out of the back of my dress.
