Thanks for all the feedback.  Sorry about the delay my FI thinks I spend too much time on the computer, but this site is so addicting.  wink.gif

I'm going to a sample sale next Saturday.  I have to try on dresses!  I'm really excited to do that. pinkie.gif

Hello ladies - 

 

I'm back from the sample sale and more confused than ever.  ALL dresses are heavy!!!!  The problem is the lining on some are SATIN.  Seriously.... A chiffon dress with a satin lining... Come on!

 

I tried on some and at least I have a better idea as to what shapes I like.  Sweetheart neckline, fit and flare.  Or... Sweetheart, empire waist, chiffon with bling... Problem with the last was that it was a bridesmaid dress that I tried on but can be made in ivory.

I think my dress is Satin, funny cuz I just went to look it up on the website and all it mentions is the Crystal Tulle thats the top layer, my dress is about 8lbs, I know this because I had it sent in the mail and that was the weight of the box, even tho its a slim a-line dress (Sottero Midlgey jsm1235) its got ALOT of beading.  I am going to be so hot.  But I love it, and it was an awesome deal.  I cant flip flop on this one because its about the only thing thats solid right now.

Was there any tulle under your dress for puffiness? Usually that is what weights down the dress.

I personally would just hack that out of the dress to take off the weight.

 

I'm going with a mermaid dress in shantung silk, its thicker than chiffon but still very light. There is no tulle under this dress.JC Full Front.JPG

My TTD dress is made of chiffon with bling and it is light as air!

    • 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!
    • 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!
