Bought my dress at David's Bridal a couple of months ago, and finally took it in for alterations today!

I didn't think I needed too much done, since the top half of my dress fits perfect due to the corset back. I knew the hemming would be the weird part, with all the whip-cream pick-ups.

The total cost of this alteration was just shy of what we paid for the dress (ouch!) but the total was $236, plus they actually charge you freaking tax! So $257.10.

 

The part that took the cost over the top was that apparently the only way to bustle a pick-up covered skirt is to create a million new pick-ups out of the train part. I ended up with a 16-loop underbustle, which is being color-coded, thank you very much! (Learned to ask that on BDW!)

 

Here are some pics!

Here is me just LOVING how tight the lady laced me up (NOT!)

Here is a reminder of what the dress looked like when I bought it (sorry, blurry!) a mile too long, and you can't see the train, it's hiding.

This is a pic of the lady pinning it up, no actual fabric will be cut at all! Wow!

And I like this pic cause on the right side you can see the front of the dress reflected in the mirror. I'm standing barefoot, and it is just above the floor now. You can kind of see how many more pick-up-y the back is now, of course all the good pics are on my MOM's camera!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
