I would like to recreate this card box I found on pinterest. I have the design but I'm having a hard time finding the right type of material to use for the writing. Has one on here done anything like this?

Has anyone wore a dress with color? Did you regret not wearing white, and was it recieved well by guest? I ordered this dress from dressilyme.com I don't really love it in person and I'm really starting to feel nervous about going against the grain....

So I purchased this dress online for my wedding. It's very pretty but not super bridal. I have considered adding colored tulle to the bottom to add more fullness and a pop of color. Has anyone attempted this before or can you make any suggestions?
