    Hey Bees!

       It's been awhile...I used to be a lurker, then I came onto the boards, and then left for awhile because I wanted to focus on my relationship before getting engaged.

      Well....I'm back, engaged, and planning a wedding for this summer! I couldn't be happier about getting married. I bought a dress over the holidays, and I haven't seen it in months...I'm looking for reassurance. I love it, but I was only able to show my family, not even my bridesmaids, so I was hoping to find out what others think about it. Do you bees like it?

    Edit: Sorry about the circle faces....and I wish I was as tall as I look in the picture, but I'm standing on the convenient box/platform. I'm actually pretty short :)

    I'm back to the boards! I bought a dress...what do you all think?? :  wedding dress Dress

    It's my dream dress!!! Has everything that I wanted and couldnt find! (*drool*...*shed a tear*) What designer/style is it?

    Despite my immense jealousy, congratulations on finding the perfect dress. It fits you perfect and looks lovely.

    Thank you all! It has been sort of a crummy day, and your kind words made my night a little better. :)

     

    @meliss - I bought this dress on a day when I was just planning to look for fun. It was at a big bridal warehouse, and I ended up fitting into the dress almost perfectly and I could buy it off the rack. It's one of those stores where they hide the designer name until you buy it....but it's a Justin Alexander. Unfortunately, it appears to be a design from a few years ago (I think 2006 or 2008) that has been discontinued. I never thought I'd buy a dress that day, so I'm very lucky!

    Gorgeous dress!  It really flatters your figure.  The pattern in the dress fabric is also very summery to me.

    @Meliss- you're so funny girl you made me laugh, but hey I'm sure that's very flattering to her that you want her dress :)

    I absolutely love it. It's elegant and sexy at the same time. I wish we hadn't had an outdoor wedding I totally would've worn something like that. It is soo flattering on you!

    Thanks ladies! You are all so nice! I don't have my other pictures right now or I would post a better picture of the beading/design.

     

    @meliss - I wish my wedding wasn't later than yours! I would so sell you my dress, but I'm not getting married until the end of July. I did do some sleuthing, and I found out that it is a Justin Alexander 8344 (at least that's what it is on the one picture I can find online of it- the model dress has one pickup in it, but it doesn't actually have one on the dress that I have.) I have no idea when/why it was discontinued, but maybe someone might have some ideas about where to find another one?

    Awww thank you all again! It just confirms that I made the right choice, even though I only went to one dress shop, which made me really nervous since there are so many dresses out there. Just one more thing, I promise! I wanted to share one more picture, since I was able to get a picture of the detail up close that I didn't have before.

    @ccranetobe- It's sequins that somehow end up looking like rhinestones from farther away because they're really clear and sparkly as well as little silver beads around the center of some of the flowersI'm back to the boards! I bought a dress...what do you all think?? :  wedding dress Dress Detail
