Dear Atelier Wedding Dresses - I feel I'm not paying you enough attention - all I've been talking about lately is tweed - but this is only a temporary situation!
As you know, I am currently in the throes of making the black wedding dress, and have spent an inordinate amount of time tracking down a particular fabric for it on and off over the last few weeks.
The exact desired fabric is apparently not available, despite researching and contacting at least 6 different suppliers, but I have found a similar version, and will 'add' to it to make it even better than the original. I hate to be defeated, but I regard the solution as a success in the end, and conclude that this fabric was specially made to order for the original company.
So don't feel ignored - you are the one getting the attention behind the scenes!

Need to do some research, and not sure if I'm asking the right question, but....
(And this all assumes that you are the type of person who favours marriage per se. If not, please ignore.)

1)If you are an unmarried woman, did you always dream of/imagine a fantasy/fairy tale/dream dress in which to be married?
2) Or, (if you are a married woman reading this), did you ever dream of such before you were married, or were you simply guided by instinct/own sense of style or preferences when the need arose to buy/commission a dress?
3) How would you rate the importance of your dress in the whole wedding event? (Please use a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most important to you.)

I would also be interested in the importance of other factors, (please rate 1-10, or put in order of importance), such as:
Ceremony venue
Reception/Party venue
Music
Honeymoon
Food & drink
Flowers

Please copy and paste the above into a private message to me, if you have a few minutes to spare, and if you have sisters/daughters/friends who would like to take part, I'd be very grateful for their input too!

This will help me to keep up in the culture stakes, as the way I work is sometimes a little isolated....and I like to keep my finger on the button.

Thank you!
Bobbie
