I took some crappy camera phone pics, but here is my dress.

 

I left it b/c I was not happy with the bustle, the back of the dress is too long. However the dress itself is too long.

I altered the top into a slight sweetheart, exactly what I wanted!

Total look (I have no make up, hair is not done and excuse my belly button dip!)

Abby, I was totally on that site earlier. I found one I like, but I am not sure. It has the 3/8 ribbon on it and is shoulder length.....I need to think about this one.

oh maura i forgot, my shower dress is from jc pennys, i dont know how much it was cause i didnt look at the tag, BUT they are having a huge sale, so i think it was around $40. the brand is "my michelle" and its cotton with a poly underslip sewn in, and the stretchy crinoline stuff layered underneath.

i decided against the embellishments or edging. i almost did a 1/8" satin ribbon, but i couldnt decide if i should get it in ivory or champagne, so i got nothing so i wouldnt be mad about the color :) i like how sheer it looks without anything. maura's is so gorgeous tho, i really had to stop myself from copying and ending up with another long veil i dont want wink.gif

I am having a church wedding, so I wanted something dramatic. The veil is simple so the length adds drama!

Thanks Martha! I'm FINALLY getting excited!

As for the veil, you can custom make one. Find a veil you really love then send them an email. Mine was custom b/c of the veil. The owner is great!

i am! i am downing as much water as i can, i am really bloated because im about to get my period, so i picked up some diurex yesterday. i have been taking it religiously so hopefully by saturday morning i will have at least dropped a few pounds of water weight. tomorrow morning i am going to the pharmacy to get alli actually! i am PRAYING it works. i am not going to eat anything but vegetables and lean protein between now and the wedding. i have the alterations scheduled at 10 am saturday for my dress i am wearing to the church in cabo.

You are so good Abby! I have not done any projects for the wedding! I really need to get moving!smile105.gif

 

Maura, don't worry, you shed the pounds, if not have your seamstress let it out. I had to let my dress out, it was way too tight.

thanks amy! i am trying to be optimistic about it! i just would like to not have to have her let it out if at all possible :) i realize theres no chance of it being able to be taken in, but at least i would rather not have her let it out - it will likely almost double the cost of my alterations for her to do that since it would have to be let out on the part that is lace & beading.

 

BTW amy, i love love love the way your dress looks since you did the slight sweetheart, it looks amazing!!! i cant wait to see you with the veil and hair done and everything :) when do you get back from mexico so i know when to start stalking you for photos? haha

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
