DIY Dress...or am I crazy??

So in my search to find a TTD dress I stumbles onto the following blog:

and followed up with the instruction blog:

So I think I could do it with the help of my friend who has some sewing experience, I have none! When I told Warren last night that I was thinking on making my own dress he laughed and said just spend the $150 on the dress you found. I asked if he thought I could do it and his reply was, "I am sure you would make something that could slightly resemble a dress, but a dress that you would LOVE...NEVER!" and then he chuckled and said, "you make a dress?!? You must have lost your mind."

Here is my dilemma...I have been challenge! He thinks I can't do it and that makes me want to do it even more! Also I think this is an awesome idea and if the long version comes out great then I could make a shorter version in a fun color and have a multitude of dresses and only have to bring two garments on the trip! I think it is a great idea! So I am going to attempted a DIY TTD...Maybe I have lost my mind?!?!

Flowers

So I finished my bouqet and I love how it came out!!

Here was my inspiration from Angels Accent. I would have loved to order from them, however they are not taking any orders prior to Feb. 2009:( I only want white and green flowers so I changes the variety of orchid and did not want the lilly's.

Here is what I ended with and I love it!

I ended up using cabbage rose, orchids, peony, and hydrangeas.

The bridesmaids will be Just orchids and peony's. The flower girls will have pomades made of Hydrangeas, cabbage rose, and orchids. I will post pic's once they are done:)
