OK, I do have a few pics. Sadly no good ones of the dress (I know, I know) but it turned out to be FREEZING there the day of the wedding - disgustingly hot and humid the day before, and freezing cold and drizzling the day of. Go figure

Anyway, here's a picture of me and the DH (doesn't he look handsome

):

Oh that's just a fab pic of the two of you! You BOTH look fabulous! I love how his tie coordinates! YAY!

Yay - thanks shopping buddies

You guys were seriously amazing helping me out in this search, and I''m convinced I would never have found this perfect dress if it hadn''t been for all the incredible help and patience you both put in helping me look at non-perfect dresses. Thank you so much - every girl should be so lucky to have amazing friends like you two

You looked great. I love the shoes and purse you chose.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Awww...thanks Addy, how sweet of you to say

I have to say the shoes were probably the most comfortable party shoes I''ve ever worn - definitely glad I got them

Wow, you looked fantastic and so did your husband! Thank you for the link to the handbags! I'm sorry I'm so late in checking back in-I've been super busy with school and work lately and I've been neglecting my PS addiction!

ETA that I'll be in Boston next weekend for my cousin's wedding so I'm totally going to go to the MJ store and get one or two of those clutches!

I'll need one for the wedding anyways!

Thanks thing2

I''m excited for you going to Boston - when we were back East we stayed part of the time with DH''s parents in suburban NH, and part of the time in Providence (where the wedding was), and I have to say, it really reminded me why I''m a city girl. Next time we''ll get a hotel room in Boston and visit with people from there.

I can see that you definitely need a visit to the MJ store while you''re there - especially as you''ve been working so hard

And while you''re there, it wouldn''t make sense to get just ONE clutch, as they are hard to find online (especially in all the different colors) and well, they are so reasonably priced after all

the purple one is a knockout!

i just was at off saks in another state catching some shopping on a biz trip and i found a $450 catherine malandrino amazing black dress for a wedding and it was only $160. i was so jazzed!!! now i need a silver or a champagne silky wrap...i love that one you found at AT...i have to go check it out. i need to figure out shoes too....i hate the accessorizing...so don''t have the time. can someone just send me some matching stuff? heheee.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Thanks Miss Mara - that Catherine Malandrino sounds like an incredible find. I LOVE her stuff.

For shoes, I''d check out the Naturalizers in gold or silver - here''s a pic of the three of us who all had them at this wedding (including the bride) - we''re all friends but we definitely didn''t shop for them together. Too funny
