My Lucky Day

Due to the oh so awesome post of Miss Shortcake, I've really become a little obsessed over birdcage veils. While I won't be wearing one for my wedding (my veil was purchased long ago), I have been playing around with the idea of a second dress.

I want the second outfit to be white, a little bit funky, and short, since we are most likely going to be going to a little after party shindig and I don't want to be wearing my actual wedding dress to that. While perusing Castle Bride one day, I came upon this cute little piece (called Samantha) for your hair that I thought would be just awesome for my second outfit:

It turns out that they offer a weekly giveaway for $100 off any one of their veils and yesterday was my lucky day because I was the winner! I spoke to Kirstin on the phone, who, by the way is completely personable and pretty much awesome, and she told me that I didn't have to stick with the veil that I put as my favorite. I still liked the Samantha, but I'm not a butterfly type of gal, so I asked if it was possible to customize the piece. She said yes and asked for my ideas, of which I wasn't quite sure, so we got on the website together and decided to create a piece that was still the same size as Samantha with the netting behind it, but with the flower of the Emma instead of the butterfly:

It should hopefully be here in the next couple of weeks and I'm super excited for this little detail, I'll be sure to post some pics once I receive it!

Now, I just need to find that cute, short dress. Do any of you have any good resources for short dresses at great prices??
