MAJORLY IMPORTANT ADVICE…as someone who comes from a family of many photographers and wedding photographers…don’t forget to keep your bouquet VERY LOW when entering the ceremony and for your formal photos. I mean uncomfortably low! It feels natural to put that bouquet high, but all your photos and video will have your face and a big bouquet under your chin if you don’t …and no photos of that STUNNING bodice!! Girl- that’s one awesome wedding dress. Best wishes to you both!!
Yep. You basically hold it over your nether-regions. Our photographer told us the same thing. It feels unnatural while you're holding it, but looks natural in the photos.
Now that you've explained it, I can picture it (in my mind) and it would look much more lovely and give the photographer more access to the detail in the dress. It would look more feminine and organic instead of holding it up under the chin/covering the breast area.. I have actually seen pictures where it's held like this and it just doesn't look comfortable or natural. It also takes away from the dress and too much focus on the boutique rather than the dress and couple itself imo. Thank you for the lovely ideas for Justine and perhaps others who are thinking of and/or planning their wedding ideas. 😊❤
Agree with everyone here. At my own wedding, as I came down the aisle, it was a mantra going through my head "hold it low, hold it low" because the natural inclination is to hold it higher.
I’m 77 years old and have done quite a bit of dressmaking and hand sewing over the years - that dress is gorgeous - the hours that went into the embroidery alone are astounding - it is beautiful - how lucky you are to have a fiancé who wants to be in the 1800s with you - Congratulations to both of you.
Yes 1700's. Movie Last of the Mohicans was set in 1757. Madeline Stowe is like looking at my grandmother. Same age. Same wealth. Even look very much alike. I have a pic of her portrait. Madeline w/o makeup. It's quite astounding. Family history says a family member or family idk, but they were tomahawked by Indians. It would have been my grandmothers relations not her immediate ... as far as I know. The movie has a personal effect on me. I should mention my grandmother was French and 1757 was during the French Indian War.
@huskymom234 the 18th century was the 1700s and wedding dresses and veils did not exist, women women wore their best clothes and bonnet Queen Victoria introduced the wedding dress and veil in 1840 so its not an 18th century wedding dress
The night before my friend’s wedding she realised that her veil was too white for the dress. We all panicked, nobody knew what to do. Her grandmother was watching all this very calmly then took the veil into the kitchen. She then poured the teapot into a pan & dunked the veil in the tea 😂 We all looked on in horror but it worked like a charm ❤
Oh my goodness. What an amazingly beautiful dress . And your hair down with the vail makes you tge most beautiful bride of 2024. So glad you invited us to share your wedding.
I had a Jane Austen era looking dress. Empire waisted, tea cup sleeves, chiffon. I’d choose it again it was so elegant and feminine. It was not the style when I got married 20 years ago but I loved it and still do. It’s so fantastic you can choose a dress that fits YOU and isn’t just going along with the trends. That’s a special thing.
I just watched you try on your wedding dress, Justine....and again....absolutely stunning! That description doesn't even do it justice. It's nice to have your best friend there helping you...that makes it even more special! The 3 weeks will fly by....but it looks like you will be ready. BUT....I thought I was, and I was so nervous during the ceremony that you could see my dress actually shaking!! We got married on October 10, 1981, and are still going strong. My prayers are for you and Ron for a long and happy married life!!!!
All through the dress fittings it was perfect, Mom and I made my dress. Then on the day it was a disaster in one week I had dropped 2 dress sizes and my beautiful fitted dress was miles too big for me. We had already taken it in twice in the past month, when Mom took it in twice we left the seams intact just in case I put the weight back on before the day, that way it would still be wearable, Mom had to stitch me into my dress if it had not been for the vail everyone would have seen the back of my dress with a makeshift corset tied affect just as well I bought button thread to sew on the lace flowers on my vail. I had the flu for the past 4 weeks and there was no way I was putting off my wedding day come hell or high water 😹😹
It’s so nice to see something different than the usual wedding gown! It’s a beautiful representation of what you love combined with beauty and grace. ❤
As someone who sews, I'm truly amazed and in awe of the dressmakers from that period in time. Not just the embroidery but can you imagine stitching dresses like this by hand? The people who made these dresses were truly artists. Your dress is beautiful. You make a very beautiful bride. All the luck to you and your husband.
I’m sure you will look beautiful. Can’t wait to see this! How fun to be included as a part of your wedding at least virtually. May it be your best day ever. Breathe and enjoy it. 🥰💕❤️
The secret is if you dont say its wrong then noone will know thats not how its supposed to be!! It looks stunning with the stomacher!!! Also its lovely to see a Bride solve a problem and go with the flow instead of having a complete meltdown. You worked it out and it is a perfect solution!! You seem so happy and excited about your wedding!
Such a beautiful dress. Enjoy your day and the very best to you and your sweetie. BTW, I just love how your friend looks at you. I'm an old lady now, but I remember being with my friends when they tried on their wedding gowns... it was always moving. I felt honored to share those times with the women I loved. Congrats!
Wow Justine, it is the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen and I've seen many being a florist. You look so beautiful. What a blessed wedding you will have.
You look like a fairy tale princess! Your dress and matching shoes are absolutely beautiful. You look radiant, Justine. Thank you, so much for sharing this special video with us. Ron will be amazed when he see you on your wedding dress on May 11th. Congratulations and may God bless both of you, all the days of your life.
Congratulations on your dress.....it is perfect and beautiful! You look so pretty! I am so very happy for you and Ron. I cannot believe your wedding is just around the corner. My husband and I have been together since our high school years and we are still going strong 38 years later. I know you and Ron are going to have a great marriage and long life together as you are a wonderful couple. Many blessings to you and yours. Thank you for sharing 😊
Justine you are going to make the most beautiful bride ever. Just stunning. And to have such an amazing friend as Anne. You are a very blessed woman, Ron is a very fortunate man too. I am so very happy and excited for both of you❤❤
I really, really LOVE this videos, when they showed, how people lived at that time, how they dressed, how they cooked... It's just incredible and interesting! ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness that is definitely one of the most beautiful wedding dresses I have ever seen, that beautiful pale blush like color with the embroidered flowers is unbelievably beautiful Early American couture💚💚 And that colour definitely compliments you beautifully🌺 Peace💚🌎🌺
What a Gorgeous gown and you will make a Beautiful Bride Justine !! What a lovely veil - it’s all perfection. What a treasure Anna is . Thank you for sharing the process of dressing. Wishes for a Beautiful day and happy memories made .
Incredible! The number of pieces of garment they wore. It's a special dress but anyway. I saw you dressing for a normal day and it was also an endless row of things you put on. What a life! Thanks so much for this interesting, informative, funny show of real life.
You are a stunning bride! It's a shame the custom gown is too small; the only reason I can think of is the measurements were taken without the stays. Anna, your quick thinking saved the day!
You look breathtakingly stunning!! Modern dresses pale in comparison to this. Praying that your wedding day, and more importantly your marriage, are filled with blessings and happiness. Thanks for all you do!!
You look so beautiful! The dress turned out beautiful. I love the stomacher it works. You are going to have such a wonderful day. My husband and I remember our wedding day as the best most fun day in our lives! Best advice crazy things will happen just go with it. Everything turns out perfect in the end! God bless you both!
What can I say the dress is divine ! Well worth all the tiny troubles and nervousness. You look exquisite. Your wedding day should be a day of excitement,joy,and dreams.✨✨💫 You are Ron's star that fell from the heavens and he your completed happiness. I remember my first husband was an amazement to me. I had a few I dated before him but he was exciting and I was in awe. We were both pleased with one another and so very happy,the smiles just went on and on. Just nothing in this world like it. Hard to describe and definitely something you want to go on and on. May God grant you both many happy days and nights together.♥️🙏🙏🙏
Justine you look stunning in your wedding attire! The dress and veil are beautiful ❤💐 You will be a vision of bridal beauty for your groom. Ron is a lucky man. Many blessings to you both! 👰🤵
I think this is one of my favorite videos of you Justine. You trying on your wedding dress. It's Happening soon!!!! Very excited for you to start your new life as a happily married woman to a wonderful man. The dress is absolutely gorgeous, and remarkable and the stomacher is perfect with the dress! It's very interesting to see all the layers. You make an exquisite bride!
My goodness, with all those layers of battle wear, no wonder you guys are doing a May wedding, especially in Missouri. Best of times and best of luck. Looks like it will be a ball for everyone involved! 😊
Thank you for letting us be a part of this beautiful moment. You look so beautiful!! I wish you both many many years of wedded bliss! God Bless you both!
You look absolutely beautiful!! Wear your hair down please. Love the dress and the veil is gorgeous. May your wedding day be blessed and wonderful. Thank you Anna for making the stomacher for the dress and helping Justine into her dress. Everyone needs a friend like you. Thank you Justine for sharing this video with us.
I stopped everything and sat down and watched. It's like I'm watching a dear friend get dressed for her wedding. Thank you for sharing with us and God bless you and Ron, Justine. ❤️
Justine, you are the most beautiful bride I think I've ever seen. The dress and veil are magnificent and you look so beautiful. Nothing less than perfection! The embroidery is so lovely.
What a gorgeous bride you are! Anna did a beautiful job with the stomacher! It really does look like the dress was made to look like that. I think I would tea stain the fichu, because the dress is not white-white, nor are any other accessories or lace. So if you have the time, I would go for it. I can't wait to see your hairdo too!

Close to the pelvic area is best? (Even under the stomach area)
Now that you've explained it, I can picture it (in my mind) and it would look much more lovely and give the photographer more access to the detail in the dress. It would look more feminine and organic instead of holding it up under the chin/covering the breast area..

Agreed this is why all the brides in the family had cascading boutique
Agree with everyone here. At my own wedding, as I came down the aisle, it was a mantra going through my head "hold it low, hold it low" because the natural inclination is to hold it higher.
You are going to be a beautiful bride, Justine. What a gorgeous dress!

1700's 😊
My 5th gr. Grandma Phebe dressed like this.
Just stunning!
Yes 1700's. Movie Last of the Mohicans was set in 1757. Madeline Stowe is like looking at my grandmother. Same age. Same wealth. Even look very much alike. I have a pic of her portrait.

did not exist, women women wore their best clothes and bonnet
Queen Victoria introduced the wedding dress and veil in 1840
so its not an 18th century wedding dress
I also stained my veil with black tea! Take it as a good fortune symbol. I’ve been married 41 years. Best wishes to you and your best friend.

You are the very opposite of a bridezilla. So kind and thankful. He’s a lucky man!
The dress is stunning, the shoes and veil fabulous, and Justine looks absolutely beautiful in her dress.
Oh my goodness. What an amazingly beautiful dress . And your hair down with the vail makes you tge most beautiful bride of 2024. So glad you invited us to share your wedding.
In a single word: Beautiful.
At its very definition.

It’s like a spend the night party with your best friend and they never go home!!! Marriage is wonderful!!
❤❤❤
I’m guessing you’re very newly married? Haha just joking ❤️
What a sweet way of putting it
Have you lost your mind?
A friend that never leaves your home? I’m starting to get annoyed just thinking about that
Your wedding is guaranteed to be one most “historical” celebration! Great job and you look fabulous!!!
It’s so nice to see something different than the usual wedding gown! It’s a beautiful representation of what you love combined with beauty and grace. ❤

Hi
Hi
You look stunning in your dress. God bless you and Ron as you enter into your new life!
You look absolutely beautiful!! Wear your hair down please. Love the dress and the veil is gorgeous. May your wedding day be blessed and wonderful. Thank you Anna for making the stomacher for the dress and helping Justine into her dress. Everyone needs a friend like you. Thank you Justine for sharing this video with us.
You are absolutely beautiful in that stunning dress! Congratulations to you & Ron!
Beautiful dress and bride! And Bravo, Anna for coming up with the stomacher idea and executing it so expertly.
Your wedding dress and the shoes are so gorgeous! And the veil is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on your wedding!
I love watching you and Ron. I learn so much from you. Thank you.
I stopped everything and sat down and watched. It's like I'm watching a dear friend get dressed for her wedding. Thank you for sharing with us and God bless you and Ron, Justine. ❤️
Oh so looking forward to this can not wait you look beautiful Justine can’t wait for this video

You look like an angel Justine. Absolutely beautiful. ❤
That is a stunning dress! Isn't it great to have creative friends?! Great job to Anna. You will be a beautiful bride, Justine 🙂
Justine, you are the most beautiful bride I think I've ever seen. The dress and veil are magnificent and you look so beautiful. Nothing less than perfection! The embroidery is so lovely.
Oh my stars! This is such a beautiful ensemble. You will be an incredible bride!
What a gorgeous bride you are! Anna did a beautiful job with the stomacher! It really does look like the dress was made to look like that. I think I would tea stain the fichu, because the dress is not white-white, nor are any other accessories or lace. So if you have the time, I would go for it. I can't wait to see your hairdo too!
I agree. The most beautiful bride's dress I've ever seen.
Aww, you look so beautiful. I love the veil, and the flowers on the dress. So pretty.
