When my DD was getting married they were going to get married in Oct. but came in to inform me that they decided not to wait. We had 10 days til the wedding. I was 1/2 way done with her dress and hadn't even thought of the bride's maide dress or flower girl's dress. Let alone were to have the wedding. I was working full time as a real estate broker. So I took some time off. We had the wedding at my parents house there living room is very large (40x40) I got the dress done-it had over 10 thousand beads and sequins. All came together and I keep my sanity. So if I could pull that off so can you. Remember you have 8 weeks and keep it simple. I love to sew - so if I can help pm me.
