Anita, that dress is gorgeous. You will look perfect for both occasions. Great find!

Size 6 Maggie Sottero gown in Diamond White style, Andie. Strapless satin with a double chiffon overlay. Rouched bodice with asymmetrical drape in front and corset laced back with a sweep train. There's also a removable swarovski crystal and feather pin to wear at the hip. I purchased it online but have changed my mind and have already bought another dress for my wedding next month. The gown is cleaned and in perfect condition, ready to wear down the aisle. Only alteration is the hem, which has been shortened about 1-1/2". The length suits someone 5'8" with flats or shorter. Asking $280 OBO plus shipping. I also have an A-line crinoline for sale, it's worn under the gown in my pic.

Thanks Desiree, that VS lotion sounds great. I'll have to check the LaSenza stores here in Canada to see if they carry it. I won't be getting to VS till next month.

For the ladies who've done a BD photosession, I was wondering did you use a shimmer lotion/powder? I'm considering it but not sure if it photographs well. I don't want to look like a hot shiny mess. Any product recommendations? All over use or just for highlighting? Thanks.

Hey Jetsbride, this site is Canadian with a great price and free shipping! I'm ordering some for myself Buy Maui Babe products from Canada at Well.ca

So many great ideas on the forum. It sure is hard getting the resort picked out. This is a list that I used to help me decide. 1. Civil or symbolic ceremony - look into the requirements 2. Adults only resort or family resort. 3. Ceremony location - beach, terrace, gazebo, church 4. Resort size and type - small & intimate or large & spread out, All inclusive? a la carte, buffet, reservations 5. Wedding pkg price/Reception options - location, menus 6. Activities, beach, available tours/excursions

Hi Gabbya, I'm having a symbolic ceremony next month in Mexico and we don't need any legal documentation.

You know the hanging straps inside a strapless dress... I don't want them showing in the pictures. Normally I cut them off but I need to keep them to hang the dress to dry after the TTD. Has anyone sewn them down into the side seams temporarily for the wedding day? I was thinking of doing this to keep them from slipping out, any better ideas?

Beautiful pics Beth! You both look so happy and cute together.

Hey Miranda, not sure if you know but there's a BCBG factory store on Louvain (behind Chabanel). Maybe give them a call and check if they have your dress in stock. Nice choice by the way. 370 De Louvain Rue W Montreal, QC H2N 1B6. (514) 733-4470

I like #1 on you best.

Great pics Yamille, you look bride beautiful, happy and glowing!

Wow Kits55, your pics are beautiful. Thanks for the BD session tips.

That sux about the delay. Have you asked your photog to pay for the shipping to South Africa since he couldn't meet the original date, May 30th? Hope you can work something out.

Megan, we must have been on the same wavelength. Posted the same sentence at the same time! LOL!

Thanks for the great review Leah. Sounds like everything was perfect. Congrats

Congrats Michelle! Thanks for the great review, your pics are beautiful and love your dress. Welcome back Mrs. Gomez

Congrats Tracy, you looked beautiful! Props to you and your party for showing the swine flu who's da boss

Congrats Lisa! Wish you and hubby all the best and enjoy your honeymoon. Can't wait to hear about the big day when you return. I'm sure Lori and Lincoln made you look and feel like superstars

Congrats Miranda, you look beautiful, love your dress and the curls just complete the look.

Hi, I haven't tried this but I would be concerned about glue melting in the sun and the crystals falling off. I think someone on the DIY threads had their mom hand sew the crystals on.

Congrats! you look so happy in your pics.

Congrats! it's a gorgeous gown.

I like the last 2 on you best. When else, besides your wedding day will you get to wear either a long train or a princessy ball gown
