Anyone have the just the 2 of you for the wedding???

Hey Airampz, Have you looked at regular wedding boutiques or david's bridal. David's Bridal has a section for just DW dresses and bridal boutiques usually have a section for DW dresses. Some are still kind of formal to me, some aren't, but if you are like me when you try them on you will want to wear one. I couldn't find just a long white dress that isn't a "wedding dress". I am know they are out there but... And of course tons on line, but I just don't understand how people can have the courage to get one online without trying them on I wish I could have because there were tons online that I liked, but from trying them on at the stores, so many that I thought would look good didn't so I didn't dare order online because they can't be returned, most of them.

I got mine at David's Bridal. I think it is pretty informal. Let us know!!! I love seeing what other people chose, especially if it is just two of you wedding like mine.

Also, what are your grooms wearing? Mine got a linen shirt and a white (kind of off white) jacket and pants. Not sure if he is going to wear the jacket at all and if the shirt will be in or out?. Neither of us are very fashion conscious so we don't know... I would love to know/see what yours are wearing?

Hey Everyone! My husband Jay and I got married just the two of us on 7/4/07 at Dreams Tulum. Here are our reviews. Thought they might be helpful.

Awww. Karen, it does sound like it was a perfect day. Thanks for posting your reviews. I never know where to find these...It helps to read to get an idea of how it might be. I hope our wedding is as perfect as yours. I read your husbands review. So cute. Like I replied to him, my fiancee is in trouble! HAHA!

I did buy my dress online, actually so far I've bought two. And now I'm looking for a third I went by the measurements that they said, but the gowns never fit, not even close. And to have them tailored will cost me upwards of $500. So I am starting back at square one. I am going to start looking at prom dresses, alot come in white and they're not your traditional wedding dress. I'm sure some women have had good luck online...just not meLOL My FI is going to wear linen pants and a dress shirt. He originally thought he'd wear a suit, but we think it will just be too hot and he doesn't want to be uncomfortable. Good Luck!!!

My dress was from the Dessy Sandals Destination Wedding Collection. It was lightweight and easy to get into by myself. You may want to buy off the rack too. I got my wedding dinner dress from Macy's for $16! I saw some great dresses in BCBG as well.

Hey Airampz, here is a link to my dress. David's Bridal - Chiffon A-line gown with split front skirt, satin cuff neckline and empire waist. I tried on a billion dresses and contemplated between two of them (this was not one of the two) for weeks and finally went to get the one I chose and tried this one on just to do it and chose it on the spot. It was just so simple and light. Though it may not be as beautiful as some of them, the fact that it is so simple will make me feel comfortable, which is important to me. I love it, but haven't seen it since I bought it several weeks ago because it takes six weeks to alter, I think because they are so busy because of prom/graduation season etc. So hopefully I will love it when I get it back too. Obviously the model is not me and I am not that skinny so it looks a bit different on me. It is very simple so I feel like I can wear a veil maybe without feeling too ridiculous Opinions I also got roped into buying a headband at David's bridal. Not sure if I will wear the headband, veil, or both. I planned on wearing a flower at first so I bought those too just in case I decided I wanted to wear that and could practice. Opinions? I wish I would have waited until I got the dress. But be careful if you try on dresses at David's because you get an assistant for just you and they bring you all of these dresses then put a veil and headband etc and just make you so exited and you feel so beautiful that you just get so into it and want to get it all. At least I did. I went to tons of boutiques and trying them on there was the best. Maybe because I was by myself??

It is so fun trying them on. Go to the store, you will have fun. My fiancee got his clothes at Dillards. He was initially going to get just pants and shirt. But they had Perry Ellis pants and jacket on sale and only one jacket left and it was his size so we took it as a sign and it looks awesome on him. I think I will feel a little better with him in a jacket at least for the actual ceremony only 10-15 minutes because I will be all dressy and he can take it off so we will have both looks.

Stores are having sales on linen jackets/pants etc now and I heard (from other threads) they are really hard to find at other times during the year so I would maybe look quick. Keep us updated on the dress search. It is so fun.
