    Hey everyone,

    With just under six months to go, it was too late to order a reception dress.  The solution: finding a sample dress from a season end sale.  I kept getting emails from various stores letting me know they were having their massive sales so I decided to have a look.  This was the first and only dress I tried on but it fit my criteria...something fitted, ruffled, and inexpensive.  I can't wait to wear this dress, what a difference from my ceremony dress!

    I didn't think I could pull off the look but I'm happy!  What do you all think?

    Thanks! I'm wearing Maggie Sottero's SaBelle.  Beautiful dress but after the hanger broke from the weight of it, I strongly considered a less poofy dress.

    BTW...best part of it all, I got it for under $500!

    Perfect reception dress! The Spanish flair of the ruffles always makes me feel like the person wearing it is about to break into a dance any second :)

    Nice yellow smiley face too Laughing

    I had to go look up the ceremony dress so I can compare. It's gorgeous but it DOES look heavy. The reception dress you chose is gorgeous as well.
