    Which designer are you giving the honor of saying yes to their dress? 

    And are you doing anything different fashion-wise than you did before when you married previously?

    I am def not wearing white.  I look pasty in it.  It's not my color.  Never was and I can't pretend it will ever be really.  I am seriously looking for something in a rum pink color or a gold or platinum. 

    Here's one I love.  Comes in the pinky color I heart!  Martina Liana! This dress is sooo me!

    @Bellenga: Beautiful dress and the pinky color looks amazing with that material!

    @WDWBride: That dress was one of my finalists, I love it!  And it looks amazing on you!  What brand is the bridesmaid dress?  It's just what I'm looking for!

    Belle... STUNNING!  Love the color, fabric, all of it. I was determined to find a Tiffany Blue gown, but it was not meant to be... I selected a lovely organza Watters beauty... it's ivory.

    Mine is SO different from my 1st time around dress.  The first one was a huge poofy ball gown with a cathedral-length veil.  My "encore" dress is the opposite!  

    I'll try to post pictures of both.  I only have a handful of pics for the encore dress (all in horrible lighting during a fitting).  The one I'll post from my first wedding is one of only a few I have left - I'm dancing with my brother and he's in full uniform.  :-)

    @arizonabride... i just love the back of your dress, love the dress in general but as the guests usually spend alot of time looking at the back of a brides dress during the ceremony, its stunning

    Thanks, eloping! I had some second thoughts for a while, but I'm over it and back to loving my dress. The fabric shows every curve so I just need good undergarments and a lot of ab work and I'll be fine!Laughing

    For my vow renewal next year, I will be wearing Priscilla of Boston Style Jules.    I have not figured out how to post pictures on this site, but here is a link to see the dress in action:

    I wanted something different and classy for a 30-something mama like me.

    I have to say this...the Martina Liana is the #1 dress I'm looking at, nothing will be final until two things have happened.

    1)15 lbs gone and

    2)my ring is on my hand.

    That being said, the rum pink is def my color!  And the gold.

    I also gotta say that I love that La Sposa gold color..that's gonna be good on you Crebre!

    Peyton that second dress is awesome too!  I love that dress!  Justin Alexander has some very lovely lines to his designs.

    And Arizonabride?  You look STUNNING in that gown..both front and back!

    Bluespurrs I of course loved your vintage look as well! 

    Beachybride?  I got some good news for you..several of the Martina Liana gowns DO come in a blue color..soft blue.  Gorgeous color!  So go check their site out..I think they're the couture version of Essence of Australia.

    I'm also lovin' their two look dress...one with a detachable skirt which makes the dress turn into a short dress for the reception also!  Check that one out!

    @Crebre80 - Thanks for the tip on posting pictures. 

    @PeytonL79 - Thanks for the compliment.   My mom and I went dress-shopping and when she saw that dress on me, she declared that it was the one for me.  Who can argue with Mama?

    @belle I love that gold color it's so rich and I look great in gold (i mean i'm not tooting my own horn or anything like that lol) but it really does bring out the golden undertones that are in my skin... i hope it is more champagney than it looks on the picture though...

    Hello All!  I am getting married for the second time (first time 21 years) on May 7, 2010.  I just bought my dress this weekend.  Its a silver Maggie Sottero and I love it, but do have some anxieties.  I did not want white and fell in love with this dress.  I am just hoping it does not end up too drab.  My daughter will be my MOH and H2B's son will be best man.  I would like the guys to wear black tuxes.  Any ideas for the MOH's dress color and give me your honest thoughts on the color of  this dress.  Im tough, I can take it, lol! Thanks for your input!

    91011Bride    September 10, 2011   Destination wedding

    First time was more what I thought a bride was supposed to wear and it was rented because I was trying to save us money (we paid for our wedding, being the oldest of 7 children, my family could not afford to pay for our wedding).  The dress was designer (Vera Wang) and beautiful; but, not my dream gown.  I settled for what everyone else told me I looked beautiful in.   It was beautiful though!!!  This time... I'm doing what I want to do.  The Grace Kelly.   That's my gown.  Vintage, classic with a twist of modern by adding satin to the mix.  Custom made, unless I find a designer that has already made my gown.  Some of you have seen my Grace Kelly.  I found something I like to call my fantasy dress.  It's beautiful, but a little more than what I'm going for.  The second picture is what the Mister wants to see me wear.  LOL!!!  Very modern.  He loves my long legs (I'm 5'9" and most of that is legs), so he wants to see them.  LOL!!!  Maybe the after party dress, I told him.  LOL!!!  What do you ladies think?

    Wow, some really stunning dresses!!!!

    @WDWBride, I have to tell you, your dress is still my absolute favorite and I wish it looked half as good on me as it does on you. I'm in love with it, and it's perfect, and unfortunately it looks awful on me. It looks breathtaking on you. Just more proof that each dress is meant for each bride.

    I am so not sure what I'm going to wear.  I have so many ideas and have written about so many gowns, that I've fallen in love with many.  I know I'll be incorporating some cultural aspects to my wedding and might change into another gown for the reception.  Not sure yet.  I'm really waiting until I get the ring to get serious about this planning.  I'm just adding stuff to my research file.  Here are two looks I like.

    @belle: LMAO I know!! There is another one that a bride is selling in my hometown, she was so cute she emailed asking if he'd asked the question on Christmas too!! lol!!! The price for hers is pretty good, but I think it'll be slightly too big, but it comes with a cathedral length veil which is awesome :D... I hope I'll be able to have a shorter engagement so I will be forced to make a decision and quickly move on to the next one.  Or else it's trouble lol! I can see myself waiting for MONTHS to choose a dress or a venue.
