So a couple things.
#1- We are probably going to be doing our e-pics in February. I was wondering if anyone knows any good ideas or winter e-pics that they would like to share so I have an idea of what they will look like with snow, no leaves, no flowers, etc...
#2- Also, I have a dress with a small train that I want to bustle. It's a plain satin train with no embellishments or anything. Wondered if anyone has the same type train that they have pics of a bustle. I just want to see what it will look like. Probably not getting my dress altered til May and not knowing til then is going to bug me.

I had a shorter train on my dress - we did a ballroom bustle. Works well with short trains - everything gets tucked under and tied up.

Here are some great examples of common bustle options.

Talk to your seamstress for ideas specific to your gown. I am generally a fan of the idea that "less is more" on bustles, and we thought my gown would be really easy, but the way the layers fit, I actually needed like 13 points and it turned the back of my dress into a giant flower :P
Thank you both for the search ideas and the bustle views. This is exactly what I was looking for. At 5am, I wasn't even thinking clearly enough to google it.
