My Mom and my Grandma are AMAZING people!

They're making my dress and it is SO PRETTY! SO GEORGIOUS and I'm SO HAPPY with it! They're hand beading appliques in a pattern that my FI drew and it looks JUST LIKE THE PICTURE below, only the details are in silver and they're adding sleeves.

Add to that they're making all the girl's dresses and I really want to do something extraordinary for them. Do you guys have any ideas - maybe for Mother's day?

No, silver. I'll post a pic when I get it, but they spend ALL of their free time on this. It is so pretty already - I can't wait to see it completed!

I have been to the avon spa a couple of times. I was so relaxed by the time I got out of there I could barely walk

I am in complete awe that your gown is being hand made by your mother & grandmother no less. I cannot imagine how much more special that is. I also can't wait to see pictures.

I think that's lovely they are making all the dresses! I cant wait to see pics.

Maybe a spa day for both of them? Or take them upstate for the day for Mother's day to a nice restaurant? Is there a boat like the Circle Line that goes up the Hudson maybe?

Youre very lucky to have such creative relations!

Re: My Mom and my Grandma are AMAZING people!

I think it is so wonderful that they are doing that for you. There is something symbolic and touching about your mom and g'ma making your wedding dress for you!

Re: My Mom and my Grandma are AMAZING people!

that's so special that your mom and grandmother are able to do that for you! It will have so much meaning for you to wear it on your day!!!! You're so lucky and blessed that they are so talented!
As far as something special, I'm not really sure...SORRY! I think a day at a spa would be really nice though!
