BIH- I just have to say that THAT is the most stunning gown I have ever seen and it is going to look spectacular on you! A part of me wishes that I had gone with some color (and green is also my fav!) I love how the sleeves are sheer and drape softly over your back!
Mind if I ask who made that amazing dress? |

It''s montage boutique by Mon Cheri bridals. It is one of their best sellers from last year.
I know it will be lowcut, but it will sit better. With as much as we pulled back, it streched the cups further apart so while it will be low, it shouldn''t be quite so wide between the cups. I have to say, one of my favorite old songs is greensleeves and I think tha might be part of why I always wanted a green dress. I learned a few years ago from one of my professors that greensleeves was slang for someone having an affair since you would roll in the grass, giving you "greensleeves". For that reason, it was scandalous to wear a green wedding dress in England unless the bride was Irish, which I am. Ironically, Irish brides in Ireland didn''t wear green because they thought it would entice the faeries. |

Oh my god, what a beautiful dress. I'm glad you finally found it! I love how the chiffon looks like a wrap from the back, but is the cap sleeves in front.
I did not know that about Greensleeves, just that the lyrics were allegedly written by Henry VIII. Which...makes perfect sense in the context of the meaning! Have you seen Nytemist's beautiful custom lavender dress? Mine was ivory with red and silver embroidery accents. I LOVED it. |

What an awesome dress! It looks so great on you!!! I''m glad you''ve picked something so "you" even if it is "unusual"! I wanted a blue dress but am not a size 0, so it was a little bit more difficult than I thought to find something. I wound up with a champagne dress, which I adored, but seeing you in this green makes me wish I had found my blue afterall. Can''t wait to see it in your size!

If someone asked me if I would ever like a green wedding dress I would have said no. But you''ve completely changed my mind. That dress just rocks! Great shade of green; looks awesome with your coloring. My dress is light gold, which isn''t as daring as green, but did make a few other choices slightly more difficult (like flower girl dresses in ivory didn''t quite look right with mine so I''m having them custom made in red). Are you getting a veil? Just wondering if they make any to match.

BIH, I must, in total honesty, say that has got to be one of the most fantastically gorgeous dresses I have ever seen.
The color glows and it suits your coloring perfectly. It is subtley different without being crazy. It just works for you so well, you wear IT and not the other way around. WOW, is all I can say. Is enticing the faeries a BAD thing? ![]()
