I am starting the search for my wedding dress. Depending on who you ask, I either need to get my dress tomorrow or within the next 30 days! I have two designers that I like (Maggie sottero and Demetrios) but thats it.

Where did you get your dress? Were you concerned that you werent able to try on the proper size? Do you recommend any other designers? Which sillouhettes work best?

 

help.....

Yes! I was totally concerned because I wasn't able to try a lot of dresses. I bought a lot of magazines about what silhouette dress would look best on my shape. See I'm short 5'2, I have DDDs and am short waisted with longer legs... I had to have lace, had to have it, I love Monique Lhullier and wanted something similar but for a fraction of the price. Here's my dress....in fact it just came in this week! I decided to use a sash the emphasize my waist...

I got my dress at a store that was about 2 hours away from my house called "group USA" because they had ALL the sizes in stock and when you find the dress you like you buy it off the rack - I returned closer to my wedding date for alterations. It was nice to be able to try on the sizes that you would actually wear. The prices are great too - I think the most expensive dress was like $700 but there were a lot for $300 or so. I know they have stores around the country but not a ton of them - you can see their store locations if you google it online - hope that helps!

I think the silhouette depends on your shape....I'm pear shaped, bigger on the bottom so A-lines or princess cuts generally look better on me......it emphasizes the waist and minimizes the bottom......maybe you could get suggestions for your shape at a local bridal salon?

Unfortunately the dress is the bridal salon's private label.... so there really isn't a designer label but I have seen dresses similar to it at other shops. It is definitely a flattering shape for most body types... The shop owner was a huge help for me and so were all the magazines I bought. This girl isn't an "off the rack" type of girl....lol!

I was able to try on most dresses. They just did not do them up but I could get a general idea what the dress looked like.
A-line looked much better on me (i am bigger throught he stomach and hips). Stay away from chiffon unless you like stuff that is clingy.

      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!
