I just wanted to update everyone… I chose the Maggie Sottero-Carrie dress in ivory! I ordered it this past Sunday. Thanks everyone for your feedback and compliments and helping to steer me in the right direction.

The Maggie Sottero-Carrie dress

 

I was really concerned about wearing a strapless dress because I have a 3rd degree burn on my chest that I don’t like to show. I was concerned about it showing in pictures. I tried on another dress that had a high neck and would cover my scar. It was a beautiful dress in person, a Mori Lee design, but not as flattering as the Maggie Sottero.

The Mori Lee dress

 

I was really considering getting the Mori Lee dress so I wouldn’t have to worry about covering my burn. Well, I finally found a scar makeup (Dermablend) that covers my scar pretty well and doesn’t smudge easily. However, the raised outline of my burn on the left side is still visible even with the makeup.

 

So, the bridal shop is going to make some modifications to the Maggie Sottero dress for me when it comes in. They are going to add an asymmetrical one-shoulder strap (over the left shoulder) by piecing together some lace straps (probably 3 to 4). Apparently, they can order the straps from the designer. Below are pictures of the type of straps they will be using and the type of asymmetrical shape I am going for.

The dress won't arrive until the second week in January. The modifications probably won't be done until the end of February or beginning of March, so it will be a while before I’ll be able to show you the finished product. I can’t wait!

Both dresses I tried on were too small, but that is what they had in the store. This is also why there are no back photos of me in the dresses. In the moonlight dress, the lady that was helping me had to hold the dress in the back while my mom took the picture! Let me know which dress you like best. Thanks a bunch!

      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!
