Activity for rachel

Ok, so I have a family friend who wants to do my hair for the wedding, she is used to doing older women's short hair dos. I have long hair and it will be a medieval enchanted forest themed wedding so my bridesmaids and I will have braided hair styles...

I got my dress- Casablanca 2172. I love it, but my mother and sister think it could have been better. I just want to know what your unbiased opinion is. I feel like they just envisioned a ball gown or something.
