    Hello All!

    This is my introduction  to the Bee.  I just wanted to come post pics of me in my future wedding gown!!   I was sooooo excited when I got the call from the bridal salon that the sample gown had come in about 2 months early!! 

    So to give you a quick synopsis:  I am almost what you would consider to be the anti-bride!! Well maybe not that bad, but im not at all interested in what would be considered traditional.  I and NOT a princess bride. My venue is an art museum, we are having a cocktail reception on a Thursday evening.  We have come up with very chic and out of the box ways to celebrate our special day.  I want my gown to be more fashion-forward, chic, and couture-inspired rather than being typical bridal.  I actually really wanted a short dress!! 

    When I saw the new Spring 2011 Watters collection I absolutely fell in LOVE with "Uliana".  The gown is PERFECT for me.  Its sexy, chic, fashion-forward, lightweight (getting married outside in the summer), and incredibly budget friendly! Its only $740!!!! I called around and found a salon that had it on order to come in for inventory but was told it wouldnt be in until about February. But today I got a call that it was in!!  I rushed to the salon and tried it on!! Its definitely THE ONE!!  Tell me what you think??  Ive added the sash just to see what it would look like. If I go with a sash I would get it in either gray or purple..... 

    Here's the Uliana on the runway.....

    That dress is wonderful. Great choice. I love the pockets. I feel the sash may be a little much, IMO. Congrats on the great find!!Laughing

    That is one amazing dress.   I also love the sash you added to it.   It gives it a really nice accent color.   I am so jealous of your great find.

    I like the look of this high/low dress. The train gives it a bridal look without being traditional - I think it definitely gives you the look you are going for. As for the sash, I might recommend a gray/silver color for a bit more sheen.

    I think it's great.  If you go for the sash, are you also keeping the flowers?  I find it kind of pushes them up to a less natural place.

    I could never pull off a dress like that (not my thing, and I think I'm too short for it to look good), but it looks awesome on you!  Congrats!  I think the sash is maybe a little much with those other flowers on it, but it's up to you :)

    I love your look!  I'd wear a high-low dress if I thought I had nicer legs/ankles.

    Hi All!!

    Thank you guys soooo very much for all the support:)  You guys are the BEST.  The 3 rhinestone accent pieces are actually attached to the dress via safety pin so it allows me to take them off completely or move them around without actually having to alter the dress in that way.  I saw this Enzoani belt today that I fell IN LOVE with.  I actually am thinking of scrapping the sash idea and just going with the belt.  Its BOLD which I love and I think it will be just the perfect accent.  AND it comes in shades of gray and shades of purple.  I am all about drama so the bigger and the bolder, the better when it comes to me and accessories!!  Heres a pic of the belt.  Tell me what you guys think?

    @mssocks:

    Aww thank you so much...You are so sweet.  I actually am pretty self conscious about my legs for the most part.  Ive always thought they look like chicken legs!!!  You really gave me a boost of self esteem!!

    @IDBride825:  You go girl!  I love the idea of the sash.  Have you thought about a sash that has beading in the front with an oversized bow in the back?  It would definitely give it the couture look you are striving for.  See Etsy.com for oversized Duploni Silk Sash's they are amazing!

    You look like a model!!!!  Really, you just look so confident and beautiful in that gown - it's definetly the one for you!

    I love bold fashion too, and I loooove the belt you posted.  If it came in purple I would snatch that sucker up!

    I was literally holding my breath -it is HARD to look good in a dress with such an asymmetrical hem.  You look as good as the model -hell, better!  That dress is GREAT on you!!  Best of both worlds
