I worry about being too hot as my wedding is at noon!

This is a good question. I originally wanted a short dress and this was one of the reasons why. I ended up with a long one though... but it is pretty light. I am curious what previous brides will have said.

Wow! You're stunning!

Just picked out this bridesmaid dress. Honestly hardest thing to have girls agree on everything and finding a dress that can look good on all different body types! They plan on wearing some sort of belt with their dress.

Daniscales2B did u do a trash te dress photoshoot with ur dress ? U looked gorgeous !

Hi Joanne,

 

Yes, I would. It was about what looked best on me, and what made me feel beautiful. I tried on a number of the lighter weight "destination" dresses, and they just weren't flattering for my body type. I was hot and sweaty dancing at the reception - it just didn't matter to me. I wanted to enjoy every second of the party, and I did! 

 

My advice is to find the dress you love, and embrace every bit of it. You can always take a break to freshen up, or cool off for a few minutes. Take some blotter paper with you in your bride bag, and some extra make up to do a quick fix. Then get back to that party and enjoy it.

Hi Vanessa,

 

No, I didn't do the trash the dress, just a few shots on the beach before sunset.  Thank you so much!  One of the best days of my life.

Thanks for the advice Allie.  I'm going dress shopping next weekend so I will just see what looks best.  Ultimately, I would like to find a dress with a detachable train.  That may solve everything!

Check out the Alfred Angelo style #2219... its a long dress with a detachable bottom and it is gorgeous! Then you would get the best of both worlds!

How long did it take to come and did it look well tailored? I want to replicate my actual gown for a TTD and I heard a few brides say they got dresses from China. My wedding is July 5th and we leave on July 3rd- so do you think I will have the time?
