I havent posted in a while, but have been lurking around, congrats to all that have gotten married in that time, its been great seeing everyones progress.
My wedding planning took a great jump 2 weeks ago (I know, assignments prevented me posting earlier) when I bought my wedding dress!!
I went to a sample sale with mum, thinking I would not find anything and to my dismay 80% of the sample sizes where too small (I wouldnt consider myself large either
)
Having tried on a dress that was just too soiled to be salvagable, the assistant urged me to try on other dresses, I took one that I kept going past but had decided with mum I wouldnt try on, alas once on I knew that it was special (I did not have a "the one" moment). The problem was I had to take the dress home with me then and there and my wedding is 18months away. Mum told me I was stupid to leave it, so I got it!!! I had a panic 2 days ago thinking I rushed so I took it out and tried it on and lets just say I am more excited about it now than before.
The dress was not a sample but something made for a customer that they did not end up taking (never been on a rack). I got it for an amazing 1100 (relatively cheap in Australia) down from 5900.
As you will see the dress is quite plain, I''m going to add thin straps to the dress and was wondering what else you would consider adding to it (if anything) to jazz it up. It has a belt made from the same silk satin as the dress already but dont want to keep it, also what veil do you thin would suit it? I was thinking maybe even something different like a polka dot one?
I''ll stop and show you what you really want to see, the photos!!
