Weddingbee boards

I'm wearing small drop earrings, a small diamond pendent necklace and an heirloom bracelet (all incredibly simplistic).   During the ceremony, I'm going to wear a drop veil, but then during the reception I'm taking off the veil and wearing a comb with rhinestones and feathers.

Alfred Angelo 1148 bride here as well!  I just ordered it last week in diamond white.  I was thrilled to find something that was simple and non-strapless at such a low price point!  I bought a comb for my hair but I don't know what I am going to do for jewelry yet.  The bridal consultant suggested accenting the dress at the side of the waist with a brooch, which is an idea I am going to think about.

 Just curious, how long did it take to come in? 

Yay!  I JUST bought this dress today!

I got it on Ebay for $330 including shipping!  I am in love with it!

Please excuse my face - I was in the middle of talking/smiling at the same time...

Are there any brides out there selling an Alfred Angelo 1148 size 18w or 20? I am a graduate student getting married in June 09. I love the dress!

So cool to see other fans of the AA 1148 dress!  I'm a "mature" bride and found this dress to be so elegant and sophisticated.  I'm getting married a week from tomorrow and after the relatives have all gone home, I'd like to pass it on to another bride (for a cost yet to be determined).  It's the diamond white in a Size 14 and is hemmed for my 5'5" height.  The hem can be taken out and adjusted.  Let me know if you, or someone you know, is interested in this great dress at a great price.

As for accessories, I've picked a vintage style pin for the side of the dress, as well as hair combs and retro style earrings.  The necklace is a diamond pendant from the '40's, loaned from a girlfriend.  My shoes even have a vintage look and the purse is authentic vintage, found on Etsy.

 What I love about this dress is that it is so flattering, even on a fuller figure.

What an AMAZING gown! I've been trying it on at the bridal store and am absolutely in love with it.

Unfortunatly, I can't afford the price tag. :( If anyone is willing to sell a used gown any size from 4-8 I would be ecstatic!

It sure is nice to see so many other fans of this elegant and gorgeous gown!

I received sooo many compliments on my AA 1148 dress on my wedding day and felt absolutely glamorous in it.  The woman who did the alterations commented that this dress is extremely well made.  With the wedding over, I'm ready to pass the dress on to another bride.  The dress is a Size 14 and the color is Diamond White.  It is still in perfect condition.  Jewelry available too.  I can send photos of all.  Will be leaving on my honeymoon Sept. 5th but will get back to emails as soon as I can.

I know I'm a little late here, but I just got my AA 1148, and absolutely love it.  It's sooooo much better in person than in the pictures!

Nifty, a whole thread for this awesome dress.  I was this dress online during my initial dress search/research and knew right away that this was the one.  Yesterday I tried one on at the big R.K. Bridal store in NYC and (even with it being a size or two small) it was awesome.  The store wants $500 for it, but it's a whole lot cheaper online. 

Did anyone else buy it online?  Where would you recommend I order.  I will need a size 16W or 18W.

Also, I just assumed Diamond White meant the brighest white, it's very good to know that it's more ivory.  I'm incredibly pale, but pure white contrasts better with my skintone than ivorys.  Ivorys wash me out.

Merey--

I got mine used on Ebay, and it worked out really well.  There is a size 18 on preownedweddingdresse.com right now for $300, http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/9896/Alfred-Angelo-1148-Size-14.html.  I know not everyone wants a used dress, but it might be a good choice.  Besides, no one else has to know!

Good luck finding your dress!

Just finishing up deciding if this is the dress, has anyone had a zipper installed of the tie back?  If you have could you tell me the extent of it, looking to order on-line as i have found it alot cheaper and than have someone do the alteration for me. 

I love that I found a post who loves AA1148 :) I bought this dress also! Can't wait to see it when it comes in !

I've tried this dress on and loved it. I'd love to buy it used, so I'm wondering if anyone has one, size 20 or 22?

Thanks!
