of course i did - haha! it was chiffon. but much sturdier (sp? is that a word?) than i expected. we did a day after the next day. sand, water the whole thing and it held up well. didnt hurt it at all.

heres their album if you want. there may be some more pics in there and they arent moving like in the ss - Album Preview

its a great dress. lovely for the beach.

Leigh - This was the slide show I saw when I decided that was "the dress" for me. I actually think our dresses were the same. Mine was a Galina at David's Bridal on sale for like $300 (if you're looking for something cheaper)



Here's mine:

Leigh thats my absolute favorite wedding slide show EVER!I saw it a long time ago and think I will use that Van Morrison song for ours, what gorgeous pictures, I think that slideshow was what made the decision of a DW Finalized for us!

wow, thanks jackie. thats awesome. your wedding will be beautiful!

hey where are you in cape cod? i was just there last weekend for a wedding at ocean edge. my husbands cousins. its in brewster. his family has houses in eastham. pics from erin and matts wedding on the blog. are you close to there?

I had never heard of her either until I googled destination wedding dresses and their website popped up. As soon as I looked through them all I decided that I wanted one.. (assuming they look okay on me!) However, there is no one here in BC who carries the line, so down to the states I will go. I also wanted to check out David's Bridal so that will work out good!

Okay I'm reviving this thread because I just happened to go on ebay today and someone is selling the exact dress that I had linked in my first post! I think it is one or two sizes too big, but she has it listed for $75 dollars so I'm tempted to buy it!!!

I haven't tried on any dresses yet, but for $75 bucks I almost feel like I should get it, and if I don't like it on me, or it can't be altered to look right on me, then I could just resell it or use it as my TTD or something. What do you ladies think? I'm pretty torn.. hmmm
