Thank you Pucca, I get to try it on in exactly 2 weeks. I will take pictures and post it also. I also love the color, so un-traditional & that is how I view our wedding.
It is indeed designed off her dress. I wanted something different, I had first picked an Alfred Angelo gown, one of his color dresses, which would have had the charcoal underlining. I was never a huge fan of R.H.O.A., yet after her wedding I had read so many different things about the dress, people hated it, people loved it. So when the rerun came on, I just so happened to be on the phone with my MOH and there it was. I loved it!!!!! So in a sense the dress found me vs me saying yes to the dress. He did a wonderful job recreating it!!!!
Thanks Coconoir (my MOH name is Chanel & I call her CoCo, LOL).....I already told him that I had business lined up for him after my wedding & he was like wow, thank you. After my fitting, he will take pics and update his website. He also does window treatments, yet he says he loves wedding gowns! He is so talented and I never asked anyone else to make the dress. He was the only person that popped in my head when I saw that dress. What tops it off is my mother loves it!!! I know you ladies understand the feeling when your mom says it is beautiful and that it will look even more beautiful on you!! That made me tear up a bit. I was smiling all day yesterday, that's the first time I saw the gown.
Thankx Torilynn ~ It will definitely have quite the impact, yet my friends & family all expect me to do as such!!! Yeah, I don't have anything that says our wedding. So, I'm hoping no one is googling my username.
