So I am in for my fitting on Saturday and everyone is ranting and raving over the dress the girl in the room next to me is trying on. I managed to break free of my seamstress to peek around the corner and fell in LOVE with this dress! Of course I already have a dress so I sweated it out until the girl left and made my mom grab it for me to try on. It fits like a glove and they offered to sell it to me for 25% off. What to do, what to do...

 

IT is sooooooooooooooooo cute and fun and flirty with a little feather detail at the top and a great hemline. Can I possible justify a second dress for my AHR? After all it is going to be in Wisconsin in February...

I agree - if you fell in love with it, then you should be able to enjoy it! Like Sarah said, if you can afford it, then you should go for it! And you can always sell them afterwards to get some of the $$ back (that's what I keep telling myself anyway - not sure I will be able to sell!).

Maybe you can sell your first dress on one of the millions of websites to re-coup some $$...

 

I don't know I think it's a tough decision that only you can really make (sorry!). But I can only answer as if i were in the situation and this is what I would ask myself...

 

1. How much extra am I spending? Can I afford it?

2. Was I going to wear the same dress for my AHR?

3. How different is the second dress from the one I have now?

4. On a scale of 1 to 10 how much will I regret it on the actual day of the wedding... maybe you'll regret it or maybe it won't even cross your mind...

5. If you DO buy it will you have to save somewhere else or not? If you would then what part of the budget do you plan on taking it from..

6. if I DON'T buy it what could I do witht he money instead?

7. Can I find a way to earn some of my money back? Would I be able to sell them afterwards?

Kash- your questions crack me up. You must be super analytical like me :)

 

You see the thing is that I definitely would still wear my original dress to the wedding in Cabo and then the new dress to my AHR in Wisco so I wouldn't sell the original. The new one is much more wintry and I might actually sell that one after the fact.

 

Here is the link to the original, which I love equally! They are totally different.

And ummmm our budget from our parents is already completely blown so the affordability factor depends on your perspective. I guess it depends on whether we get any cash gifts otherwise I will have to shift some things around for a couple months. Not fun, but can be done.

Thanks for posting the link to your other dress. NOW I remember your dress- I knew it was something really unusual, I just couldn't quite picture it. I don't know, it's a hard choice, they're both really pretty! I guess, not to be bold, but are we talking several hundreds of $$ or several thousands for your new one? I have no idea what Pronovias' cost, I've never looked at them.

I know - I'm such a dork! What the hell, you only live once - the two dresses ARE really different - and both super cute and fun! Let us know what you decide!

      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!
