Hooray!! The agony is over - you''ve made your decision and it''s FABULOUS!
So happy for you - its beautiful and your going to make a stunning bride. Good for you to sticking to your desires. I think it''ll be fantastic.
Now...GL searching for the price you want
Mandarine, you look like a bride in that dress. If fits you so beautifully, and it is so clear that you are about it--I am so happy that you made your choice and you love it!
I actually saw that show last night about the girl who imitated Cristina Aguillera''s wedding, saw her dress, and thought of you. So glad that you found what you truly loved!
Thank you guys!!!!!! Thanks for all the compliments!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will have to do a before and after pictures, because I'm kicking into high "Bridal boot camp" gear at the gym!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha. I am SO excited.
Now GUESS WHAT!!!???
This dress was $1,300 at the store, they were going to give me 20% off for the sample, plus taxes and alterations...it came to $1,500.
That was just too much for me, so I started the hunt, I just called RKBridal and they can order it NEW for me for $775, including shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe it?????????????
If I find a cheaper quote, RK will beat it by 5%!
I can get my dream dress with alterations for about $1K...which is still a ltitle higher than what I had budgeted for but I can accommodate otehr things on my dpreadsheet and make this work!
Congrats, Mandarine -- it looks perfect on you, and you just glow in it!! It was obvious from your other thread that this was the dress you loved the most (out of a bunch of fantastic choices!), so I''m thrilled for you that you went with your heart''s desire!! Go you and your peacocky dress!!
I''m getting ready to order from RKBridal!....I''m a little nervous because the size of my bust, waist and hip all yield to different dress sizes! haha. Should I just go with the dress size I tried at the store? It was a little big (see picture)
Does that look too big?. I think the hips were ok, it was a little too big above the waist line. Using their measure chart I''m between two sizes (the one in the pictures and a lower one).
What should I do?. I''m exercising tons, but I don''t want the dress to not fit! hehe
You look so happy in this one! And yes, the sample looks like it fits perfectly except in the bust so I''d probably order that size since it seems to only need slight tailoring. What are you doing for a veil?
Mandarine, this dress is perfect for you and your wedding! I''ve been following your ideas and I think it''s an awesome choice. Congratulations on the great find, girl!
