Our Cake ... 5 tiered, Vintage with Feather, Fresh Roses, and icing roses

It is like a dream come true for my cake, I love every detail of it.  I wanted feathers to bring out the 40s vintage.  Originally i wanted all gardenias, but they bruised too quickly so the cake lady has to pipe icing gardenias and fresh roses....so beautiful, it was heartbreaking to see the waitress cut it to serve the guests.

The Audrey Hepburn inspired dress

As I mentioned in the previous post, my aunt handmade this all time classic dress for me.  I wore it for my first dance...I am planning on wearing it again for my first year aniversary.  I you like it, place the order with her.

Vera Wang veil & Davids Bridal Dress WG3103

I have been married for over 2 months now, it was a great experience...I love everything about my wedding...especially the dress and my veil.  The cathedral lenght veil goes very well with my dress...
I had to spend a lot for my Vera Wang veil, but it was very soft and beautiful.

Vietnamese Ao Dai , Ao dai cuoi

Vietnamese Long dress, also called Ao Dai.  And the Ao Dai for wedding is called Ao Dai Cuoi.  These long dresses are Vietnamese traditional dress, a symbol of culture for the woman of Vietnam.  As a Vietnamese we wear these dresses for formal occasions, for instance, weddings, miss Vietnam competition, engagement, etc...
I need one for my wedding, however, my theme color is white so I am looking for one now.

SAS1216 Dress


Did I forgot to mention that I purchased this gown too, SAS1216 for &267 and fixed for $200, what a waste.  So take my advice, pick your dress wisely, don't get too excited and make the wrong decision.  I wasted about $800 before choosing the right one.....
Oh gosh, what I am going to do with this dress? Ideas please
