Show us your wedding dress!


Recommended Posts

Okay, so I posted my dress here a long time ago but it was before alterations and the worlds tiniest photo. Hopefully these are a little better/bigger.

 

The dress still needs to be taken in a little and we're adding a little boning so that the dress won't creep down. The last think I want to be doing is hiking it up all night.

 

Oh yeah, and sorry about the sad face. I was really hoping the dress would be perfect this time.

I got my dress at David's Bridal. It was the first dress that I tried on...I wanted something simple and flowing. I'm having the dress altered a little. I don't really want the train even though it's a small one. I am thinking about removing the straps as well.

I just got my dress this weekend. I posted another thread talking about how I did not get that "in love" feeling. But after trying on like 18 dresses and HAVING to pick one cause my wedding is only 4 months away, this was only one of two that made me smile. The picture does not do it justice, it is truly a beautiful dress. I am having the straps removed, I walked around the store with them tucked in and decideded I definitely liked it better without. (PS. I borrowed someone elses picture who has the same dress, hope that is okay?)

Finally, I get to post pics of myself in my dress! I had my first fitting with the seamstress over Christmas and my best friend took a couple pics for me!

It has to be taken in a pretty good amount and then I'm also having the train shortened to a sweep train. It currently has a zipper back that is going to be converted to a lace-up. I'm so excited to see it with the alterations!

Hi all! My ceremony dress is a Casablanca (1870) in ivory. I bought it on Ebay (*gasp!*) from a bridal store that was selling off sample gowns. (Magic Wand Bridal on Ebay is phenomenal, they cleaned the dress for me, packaged it perfectly, and then sent the extra straps, buttons, and the tags were still perfectly intact when I received the gown.) Please ignore my ridiculous expressions and bad hair, lol.

My second gown (reception and TTD photo session) is a Maggie Sottero Couture gown (style Amy) that I just came across the other day. I have not yet purchase the dress, but you can bet that this one or one very similar will be coming to Mexico with me - it is about 1/4 of the weight of my first dress!

Everyone looks so beautiful in their gowns - I have always believed you have to purchase the dress that you FEEL the most gorgeous in - and don't let yourself be restricted by the 'rules' (e.g., curvy women shouldn't wear mermaid, tall women shouldn't wear ball gowns, etc.).

    • 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!
