Looking for a Wedding Dress?

[BowensMommy]

I finally bought my Wedding dress yesterday!! :D (Wedding is Nov 2010!). Since I'm getting married on the beach I wanted something light weight, flowy, and good for the beach. Ironically, this wasnt easy to find. Most wedding dress are stiff, heavy, and thick :eek: So in case anyone else is on the hunt for a perfect destination wedding dress, I thought I'd share a group of designers with you all...

 

Essence of Australia

Ella

and Martina Liana

 

They are all grouped together as "sister designers". I went to many stores and didnt even try-on a single dress! Luckily I found these dresses online and located a store. My dress is an Essence of Australia. But there many dresses by these designers that I loved! They are ideal for all of you destination (well... cruise) brides. I hope this helps out someone!! :)

I got my dress this weekend for my October wedding. I am just wearing an off-white cocktail dress. I found it at Neiman Marcus way marked down. So excited. But I ordered the shoes yesterday and I really hope they fit. When I saw them in a local store, I knew they were "my" shoes, but they didn't have any where near my size. So I went back to work and found them online.

Only problem I am having now is that the dress I want for our 9 year old daughter to wear is cream, not white. How bad would that look in pictures? Her dress can be seen here th4e light version..

I love your wedding dress! If you're worried about colors, why not this one?

It's very similar.

 

Theknot.com says this: "Traditionally, the flower girl was dressed in the same hue as the bride (white, ivory, or cream). But there are no rules -- simply dress your flower girl in the same color as your bridesmaids or use her dress to call out your accent color."

That Kaanapali pattern was the other one I was looking at, but really fell in love with the pattern of the molokai ...with the print just at the bottom. Also the pattern i picked for my dress, the men's version would not be very flattering on hubby-to-be, which is why he will be in the mens version of kaanapali, the same as our daughter.

 

Still not sure how it will all look when we are all together , but it beats jeans & a t-shirt.

 

We are getting married in Hell after all !! LOL
