Thanks, we are making our guests burst into song when they want to see the bride and groom kiss, instead of clinking glasses, we are even getting Impressions to print out cards with the lyrics for the tables.

Thanks! Initially we had a Bella Notte table, a Can you Feel the Love Tonight table and a Love table (from Robin Hood) too, but those got cut when my guest count got lower.

I was curious to know how you got black petals. Does Disney carry them?

Thank you for catching that, I wrote it down wrong, they are Black Magic Roses. So just a really dark red rose.

With only 5 days til my parents and I begin out trek down to disney world, I realised that I had not dyed my crinoline, and I really wanted to. So my mom stopped after church and picked up RIT powder dye in Navy Blue so that I could do it today.

So I followed Caryn's instructions that she wrote down when she dyed that awesome pink crinnie. She seemed to have not included some of the messy details, such as when you have to unravel it in between agitating it. Luckily my mother thought to put an old shower curtain on the floor, cause there was dye everywhere...

This was after cleaning up a bit.

This is it after the first rinse

And while hanging to dry

I'm not sure I am 100% happy with it, I was hoping it would have been the colour of the box. But I think it will do. Plus, I am not paying another $50 to Davids Bridal for another one.

Thanks Caryn for posting how to do it, it really did help alot!

Katie,
Your crinnie looks amazing! I love the color, it's seems very rich! I think you'll love it when you get it put on with your dress. Your wedding is fast approaching.

Thank you, I think so too, I dont have my dress here, but when I compared it to the trim on my veil it seemed pretty close.

I was wondering how much dye you had to use. Mine is a mix, so I'm a little nervous to start. I have to get my shoes in and then I can decide on the color.
