The start to this insane adventure.

So I think I cracked today, or I am finally letting my self think of this whole wedding business. I have been waiting for this moment for so long it is hard to really comprehend it is happening. Added to the whole OMG TEH BIGGEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE SO FAR IS HAPPENING (I can't believe how antifeminist that sounded oh well) is the fact that I cant tell. What?! Yes that is right I am not allowed to tell anyone which is why I am writing this so the whole world can see.

So back to the main crux of the issue. I have decided I will be knitting my veil as well as my bouquet, the boutonnieres, and corsages. I think I have in fact gone insane. But the more I think about it and look for thread/yarn the more and more I like this idea. I will be wearing my grandma's dress. I am a lover of hats and have one from the era that I believe is a pretty good match to the one in the dress and I love the idea of this veil being something mine and utterly me.

And so we move to the actual pattern, the yarn and the beads to do it with. Oh yeah, did I not mention those? I am beading this bitch because why not. So for the pattern I am going to attempt MMario's Wedding Peacock. That part was fairly easy it is beautiful fairly simple and I have it under good authority I can actually pull it off. The question is now the yarn. After much market testing (aka I went to my knitting circle with epic women and went "AAHHHAAA I don't know what I am doing those bamboo work?") I have settled in Silk. 100% silk because since I am not spending on my dress I get to spend on my veil and in all honesty it isn't that much, around 80ish including shipping for the yarn and working on the bead angle but it is looking like 50ish for those. For the yarn I am debating between this and this yarns from Habu. Leaning towards the  Tram I just wish I could touch it before buying it.
