I ended up ordering my dream dress that I was comparing every other dress to. It's modern but has vintage touches in the flowers and beading, which is exactly what I wanted.

 

It's Hayley Paige's Nina (HP6254). [be careful doing a Google image search on that -- there was a porn star with the same name!]

 

simply beautiful girl! congrats

It's a San Patrick Rivoli and I absolutely love it for my rustic vintage beach wedding! 

wow! very unique. you look great and heck yeah you can rock the coral sash! looks great

I thought the added poof gave for a more dramatic and Mexican Senorita feel (which I love).  The pic is with a mermaid slip underneath which has 3 added layers of crinolin which was a bit much.  Since I'm 5'10", I'm letting my shoe height dictate how much crinoline I add, if any, to avoid the added cost of hemming. I'm in my bare feet in this pic and can only wear an .5" heel with the full 3 layer crinoline slip. I can wear 3" heel if I forgo the slip altoghether. 

 

I can't wait to see yout DIY coral shoes.

ummmm girl,,  let me tell you... you are wearing the phuck outter that dress. you look absloutely stunning... i got goose bumps and all... I LOVE IT!!  congratulations on your dress, and the veil is perfect, just right. not too much or too long. i hope you dont mind me saving your pic to my computer. you just made number 2 in my top 10 list! WOW

Did you get the belt too? I think I'll go with a beaded/blingy belt but am going to make my own since they are ridiculously expensive! My dress is a little long without the poof so I'll probably suck it up and wear wedges for the beach wedding (you won't be able to see them) and heels for my AHR. My Fiancé is 6'3 and I'm only 5'8, so I don't have to worry about heel height. 

 

Congrats again! That dress really looks amazing on you! You're right about how different it looks ok 2 separate people!

 

yep i agree i think she should get a blinged out belt to bring out the dress some more. she looks stunning. that man is going to burst into tears when he sees her coming down the aisle.

This is my dress, it fits me to a T and is so comfortable I do not want to do any alterations to it except the train.  It is too long and I don't 100% like the way it flows.  Do any of your have any suggestions on what I should do to the dress about this.  Im a little nervous about cutting it off, should I just do a bustle and keep it up like that for the whole wedding? If so what kind of bustle do you think would look best? Thank you soo much.

 

kay xo

I bought a Ramona Keveza dress second hand (and saved $1800, woo hoo!) These photos are from last summer before any alterations. I'm going to be getting the alterations done in March, including beading all the way down the back, and will also be wearing a sash on my wedding day. The veil I'm wearing in the last photo isn't mine, that's just the one the shop had for me to try on. Mine has a clip with lace and pearls rather than a flower.

 

 

 

 

loving the birdcage. you look stunning and you saved 1800usd which is equivalent to 11.646TTD in my countries currency and that is FANTASTIC. congrats

You're too funny, and I already have a blinged out vest to go w/ my dress ...thanks for the compliment, I hope to get half the reaction from my Fi when he see's me.

Aww, that's too sweet. I am going to do a blingy belt. I've been trying to find the right one online! Thanks for the compliment, that's sweet!
