So today I was looking at pictures of me in my dress on my computer and in walks FI. He caught a glimpse of a picture and immediately turned away, knowing what he just saw. I'm very upset because our wedding day won't feel special anymore...I was so looking forward to seeing his reaction when he first sees me walk down the aisle, and unfortunately now I won't have that pleasure. The wedding is not for another 6 months but he already has an image of me in a dress in his mind...I'm even debating getting a new dress which I know doesn't make sense since I've found the dress of my dreams, just that this dress is already somewhat 'tainted'. Am I overreacting? Has anyone had this happen to them before? I can't seem to let this slide as I reallly reallly wanted the dress to be a surprise

Very pretty! You will be a beautiful bride!!

Such stunning pictures! You guys are such a lovely couple...congrats on the anniversary! -an Elizabeth Medina bride

This happened to me I think my mistake was not only shopping too early, but bringing too many people with me. When they all loved the dress I bought, I thought I loved it too but I really didn't. It was an expensive mistake as I'm losing my deposit from canceling the dress. Figured I will lose just as much trying to sell it myself. I felt immense pressure shopping for my 2nd dress as it BETTER be the dress! Well I shopped alone and found the dress I love.

My pick is #4. You look hot in it and I bet you FH will agree.

#1! It's classic and since you have curves you should show them off!

Very cute. Best of all you also wear them after the wedding!

What a stunning setting! Gorgeous pics Jill!

#3! So pretty, matches your dress and because it's not white you can wear it with other outfits.

I voted for #1. Like previously posted, it has the wow factor. I think the detailing is gorgeous from the ruching and flower texture in the front to the buttons in the back, you will make as good of an exit as you will an entrance. I think the neckline is also prettier than #2 and I love the color.

Oh how gorgeous! Congrats!

I am petite too and I find that the best dresses to give you curves are mermaids or trumpets and the worst are ballgowns and pouffy a-lines as they tend to overwhelm. Sheaths are pretty too. Good luck in your search and like previously posted you should consider having it custom made; that way you can incorporate all the elements that you like in different dress into one.

22 at proposal, 24 at wedding next year. He will be 28.

Kerry you`re going to be a beautiful bride! The dress is gorgeous.

I love the Manolo Sedaraby! I am wearing these in silver for my wedding. Good luck with your search!!

I do feel bad asking our guests to pay so much to attend our wedding especially since the best man just got laid off his job last week. The higher costs of everything is definitely affecting everyone ...definitely a different mood than when we first started planning our DW. It is too late for us to cancel however as we paid in full but have learned to accept that the most important people in our lives (family and best friends) will be there and to us that is more than enough.

I fell in love with my dress today, it is Lazaro Spring 2008. Your comments much appreciated. The dress on the model-

I'm all about industrial strength makeup since I have a super crazy work life and believe it or not, no time for touch ups in the middle of the day. My staples are: 1) Primer Potion by Urban Decay. It`s an eyeshadow primer and a MUST for eyeshadow/liner remaining vibrant and staying put all day. I find it much better than MAC Paints. Available at Sephora. 2) Laura Mercier Mineral Finishing Powder. Make any foundation last with this setting powder. Controls oil without looking cakey and softens the complexion.

For fellow Canadians (and they ship international too) try Home - Scarlet. They sell Betsey Johnson, Vera Wang and La Perla (my fav).

Hey Ana, I'm also from Vancouver and woud love to have Karolina shoot my BD photos. May I ask where you're having it? Does she have a studio or a place she normally uses? I live with FI and it would be tricky coordinating Operation BD Book at home. Can't wait to see yours!

BD= boudoir. Strongly recommended as a wedding night gift to the new hubby.

Looks like you're set to have a beautiful wedding! Love the floating orchids and your amazing BD book photos.

If blue is part of your wedding theme, I vote blue for the pop of color.

Beautiful rings. His looks modern and unique.
