    Hi Bees!

    I'm getting married in December, and I'm wearing the maggie sottero Aurelie:

    http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=aurelie&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=15&style=A3225

    When I went in for my first fitting, I was shocked at how much the dress "poofed out" with a hoop skirt under it! Anyway, I thought I'd start a thread to see other bee's "princess dresses" to feel more inspired by my own!

    @JewishBride: I hate to admitt it, but after I purchased my Aurelie, I briefly cheated on her with Edwina Marie *dies of shame* The Edwina Marie just doesn't fit our venue or theme all that well, but it is such a gorgeous dress!

    @MercedesAshley: Your dress is absoulutely beatiful! What a commanding dress! I'm assuming you wore a large hoop skirt or crinoline underneath?

    @ DIvine that bustle is INCREDIBLE - but to your mom's defense it does look confusing!

    @FutureMrs.Martin - yeah...I got over it, eventually. The bad thing was a kept stepping on my dress the entire reception. Oh well! If that's the worst thing that happened that day I'll count it as a win. Laughing

    Is it sad that I want to put the dress back on and just take pictures of the bustle? ;)

    @mercedesashley: OMG and you looked like royalty! That dress is incredible. I think I just gasped when I saw it. What dress is that????

    @divinemisse: I would be sad if that bustle never happened too, because I think it's the prettiest one I have ever seen!

    These are such beautiful dresses! I almost fell in love with a big Judd Waddell strapless ball gown before I found my slim a-line, but a bit of my heart will always be with the princess dresses.

    Wow, your dress is beautiful! I am wearing the Monique Lhuillier Confetti alcenon lace top, the Monique Lhuillier Coco skirt, with a matching champagne colored double faced embroidered satin sash. I only have pictures of the actual dress though, lol.

    Beautiful dresses! 

    Mine is a Jasmine and I want it to be as full as possible without wearing a hoop.  I think I may wear two crinnies.

    @Blondiebee - I've had the best experience with Jasmine.  My dress is a custom design - the original was a portrait neckline.  I agree, it's SO comfortable.  I want to go try it on again...

    @mermaid- I was told that Jasmine is the only dress that has a band inside to help hold the dress up and stay in place! Works well with skinny people.  I danced all night long in it! I loved it! Dont worry you wont need a hoop!

    ladies, i am SWOONING over all of your beauuuuutiful dresses!

     

    it's a bit early in the game for me, since i'm getting married in july 2011, but i think i've decided on a princess dress, and on a particular one at that. i almost died when i saw this one (and i've probably looked at all 8 million on theknot), and it has stuck in my mind as being the exquisite fairytale dress every little girl dreams of, with the exquisite details of the 19th-century couture i went gaga over during my period of obsession with fashion history from ages 15-19 or so.  it has just the right amount of beading to me, the pick-ups are pretty and not annoying, the lace is incredible, the rosettes are just right...it's love (expensive love :( ). by pnina tornai:

    Show off your princess dress! :  wedding Pnina

    i can't wait to put it on!

    the irony is that i was between this look and this one: http://weddings.theknot.com/Dresses/52893/detailview.aspx?id=52893&type=31&Neckline=Sweetheart&Dresses+Gown+Dresses+Gown+Type=Wedding+Gowns&TM=31 they couldn't possibly be more different. the latter one is very 'me', but this is my wedding. when will i ever have the opportunity to wear something like a princess dress again? answer: never ever.
