I don't watch How I Met Your Mother but I gather there may be spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution. (Although really, if you want to avoid spoilers from a series finale, you probably shouldn't be on the Internet.) Anywho, we discussed Robin's Monique Lhuillier wedding dress a few weeks ago, but last night we saw another wedding gown: on the mother.
E! got the scoop on the custom gown straight from HIMYM head costume designer Reiko Kurumada: "Since the wedding takes place in the future years from now, I wanted the dress to be age appropriate for Cristin [the mother]. When I suggested the overall look to be very simple with a little vintage feel, a la Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, [creators] Carter Bays and Craig Thomas agreed completely." Instead of scouring new wedding dresses, "we found a gorgeous simple gown in the vintage section of a costume house, along with a vintage broach that we made into a hair pin," she explained. "The dress fit her perfectly. No alterations needed at all. It was meant to be!"
Thoughts on the HIMYM mother's wedding dress? Would you wear something similar?
Here are Megan's thoughts on the HIMYM finale. She seems less rage-y that my Facebook newsfeed.
