How could I have forgotten to mention this fun item until now?!?
Mom of course has been watching wedding shows on the TV since the ring went on my finger...then she came across this little idea...a colored carillon aka petticoat.
What color do you make the underside of a wedding dress? White of course, right? NO! Since the wedding colors were blue and yellow we decided on the bright royal blue...not only did it fit to the wedding colors but it became a 2nd something blue to my shoes.
Unfortunately Mom did the dying of the carillon at home in Pennsylvania much to Dad's concern in the bathtub with Rit Dye, so I don't have the pictures of the process but I do have the final result. And much to Dad's amazement the bathtub is not bright blue after the fact....
Isn't it great?!
Such a fun addition to the dress and the wedding and something to make it very much our own -- and sure to make some great photos!
Thanks Mom...and Dad for letting her dye it in the bathtub!
