Weddingbee boards

So, my dress is by Pnina Tornai, and there is NOTHING that compares to it in my mind.  It is the most magnificent thing I have ever seen. I loved it before I even had an idea of how much the average wedding dress cost, who the heck Pnina Tornai was, or how crazy expensive her dresses were.  But I've got to say that she is, in general, NOT my favorite dress designer.  She's done a lot of gorgeous dresses with incredible details, but her see-through corset/chaotic pile of tulle miniskirt monstrosities are unforgivable imo.  I will NOT be mentioning that when she does my measurements by hand for my dress, though! :P

So who would I pick as my favorite designer, in general?  Well, I tend to think Monique Lhullier's dresses are extremely beautiful.  I also love Claire Pettibone's earthy, uber-romantic and feminine designs, and tried on a whole bunch before sadly realizing they were just too casual for my wedding (though I was sold on my Pnina the whole time).  I also REALLY adore the designs of the somewhat eccentric Spanish designers Victorio and Lucchino.  I'm going to be trying on a few more (I already tried on one of their awesome designs!) before making the downpayment on my Pnina...just to be sure!

meliss--I'm with you on the simple dresses thing! They certainly aren't for me either.  I love intricate clothing, and I've had so many awesome dresses in my life that my wedding dress had to be something down-right extraordinary!
