My fiance & I are both firefighters and I'd love to incorporate a flame-detail into my dress. Something along the lines of using crystals to form flames coming up from the bottom and down from the top of a strapless gown...
Anyone ever see anything like this or can give me an idea on how much it costs to have a gown made like this??

That sounds like a great idea, very unique. Maybe you can get a halloween dress with flames and use that as a pattern to make flames on your dress. You could even use different color crystals. One strand could be a soft orange and another could be maybe a yellow. OMG i'm so excited for you. Keep us posted on how the dress comes along. I hope it all works out, it sounds like such a cool concept.

You guys are great!! I like the cake & garter. I will probably do a dress with different crystals (yellow, orange, pink, etc.) for the flames...I just have to find someone to make it. Our wedding colors are ice blue & black, so I might try a fire & ice theme...I'll keep y'all posted! :-) Thanks for your help & congratulations to you all, too!

How fun. I am also doing a firefighter wedding. My FH and I are both Firefighters, he is career, and I am voluteer. I love your ideas. This is the dress that I have chosen. It isn't exactly like "flames" but it goes with my colors. I am using red, gold, and ivory. I would love to talk about other ideas you have, I have come up with all sorts of unique ideas to incorporate the Fire Department into my wedding. If you wanna chat, let me know, it is rare to find someone using this theme, and I would love to share ideas.

I also thought this Firefighter's soap would make a cute favor.

OMG...that's hilarious! Too funny! I'm wanting more of a fire theme than my FH is...he wants somewhat traditional, which is nice, too. This is actually my 2nd wedding--my first was more of my ex's "thing"...he's a musician and we were married in Vegas by Elvis. Cute idea, but when I wanted a traditional wedding, it left me wanting more, ya know? So this time, my sweetie & I are going to do it the way we both want it.

If you want someone to make your dress for you I would be more than happy to do it. I love your ideas and inspiration. Send me an e-mail with what you are looking for in a dress other than the flames and I will send you some renderings (designs). We can keep re-working it if necessary until we get something you like. How soon are you getting married and how much of a fire theme do you want to go with? Do you want the dress to be formal with a flame theme throughout or just in certain places? Send me an e-mail at givenk@katgivendesigns.com.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Kat Given

Go to this website and they have a titanium band with flames... not sure how far you want to carry the theme but it was pretty cool.
