This was my ultimate dream dress, by Pnina Tornai, & cost over $10,000…and that just wasn’t in my budget.

This was the dress I ended up getting for my wedding.

Mistress_K: dream dress was Lazaro 3201 (photo courtesy of another bee who looks amazing in it!) actual dress is a Madeline Gardner. Some similarities between the two I guess.

Chaedra: Got it from Jasmine’s Bridal Shop online (same place as my dress). Was about $80-$90, from memory. The lace is really lovely, although the tulle could be softer!

This is my dream dress: Tara Keely 2056, but from a little research I found it was going to be way out of my budget:

This is what I chose instead:
Allure 2701


I love it and have no regrets (yet) ๐
