    Let me start by saying I love my dress. I have from the first minute I put it on. It's not sparkly, lacy or frilly but neither am I most the time. I like simple, clean lines & just a touch of color. I had my final fitting last weekend and changed the neckline to a sweetheart because in my first fitting pictures I looked boxy.  Now I don't know if I like the sweetheart neckline. I'm hoping maybe it will look better when the top of the dress is actually taken in and not pinned. I just don't know if I look bridey enough. I'm not wearing a veil, just a Muscari flower in my hair with a loose updo. I have a gorgeous necklace I got on Etsy to go with it, I'll post a picture of it too. I just don't know... please help calm my nerves!

    Your dress is very pretty, and very streamlined, so it that's your style than it's perfect. I like the sweet heart neckline, I think that once it's completed you'll feel different about it. Just try to stay calm until then. BTW, your flower girl looks so cute in a matching dress, I love it!

    Thanks, that's my daughter Emma. Smile  I'm hoping I'll feel better then too. I mean, I love the dress, so I think it's just anxiety setting in.

    Your dress is gorgeous...I love the red sash and the accent on the necklace.  Very nice.  I think that the sweetheart neckline is flattering.  And you're right, any pictures looked at where there are pins in the dress aren't going to be as exciting as once it's all done.  Hang in there and wait for the final product!

    i think your dress fits what you describe - streamlined, simple. you'll be comfortable in it and be yourself - that'll shine through and be MUCH better than putting on a few pounds of "bridey dress". i LOVE that your daughter has a matching dress!

    I think the sweetheart neckline will be very flattering when it is finished! And that necklace is PERFECT with your dress!

    Oh my goodness I think are you are worrying over nothing! Neckline and necklace is superb (luxe deluxe, by the way? one of my fave sellers) and how could you NOT look like the bride?! You even have a mini-me, who is adorable =]

    Don't fret. I think we all tend to over-focus on what, in hindsight, is very pointless in the month leading up to the wedding =]

    @ejs4y8 - Thanks, no actually the necklace was made by RachelleD - Love her, she also made my earrings. She's awesome.

    I agree, I think I'm just overwhelmed by anxiety and super excited but nervously wanting everything to be perfect which I know is a little silly. haha. I love my dress so I will try to relax a little. The reassurance here has helped a lot. I can always count on you girls to make me feel better.
