Hello Ladies!
I’m brand new to WeddingBee, attempting to plan a wedding in 6 months, and appreciate any help I can get!
So I am absolutely in love with this Paolo Sebastian gown, it is beautifully unique and ethereal, I love it! But because it is so untraditional and I cannot go try it on anywhere local, I’m trying to picture in my mind how I would style my look.
Here is what I’m considering for hair. What do you think?
As far as jewlery, the neckline seems a little too high for a neckalce, besides the bodice already has bling. Maybe some long earrings??
The toughie for me is shoes, I hate heels (ok, so I am clumsy and cannot walk in them), so they have to be flats, but I’m so at a loss! Any ideas?? Pictures would be great!
Also, because this is a designer gown and I don’t have a designer budget, I am considering going to way of a replicated dress, possibly by Jasmine’s Bridal Shop. I’ve been reading many reviews here on WeddingBee that have to do with Jasmine’s and most of them seem very positive! But I haven’t seen anything that shows Jasmine’s taking on a design like this. Of course I will email them soon and ask directly, but I wanted to hear from real life ladies… is anyone familiar with Jasmine’s or even ordered something from them along the lines of this dress (i.e. material, detailed beading, sheer bodice)? If you have let me know how your experience was and I would love to see some photos of how it all turned out!
Thank you so much!

@Kaedyn: It’s a risqué dress. Do you mind that you won’t be able to wear a bra and your nipples will most likely show? I can see the model’s nipples…
Also as there’s no lining, the skirt will most likely be see through in certain lighting. Just some food for thought.
Pretty sure jasmines have made a sheer beaded bodice before. I’ll see if I can find a pic

@babecake: Yes I realize it’s pretty risqué, which I definately don’t like! I should have mentioned that, if I have it replicated I intend on asking for a bodice underneath and a much more modest skirt. I just love the design of the dress. Most designers have their models braless and half nude in their fashion shows anyways, I would NEVER walk down the asile like that!

@babecake: I had a look through all the threads I posted on to see if I could find something similar that Jasmine’s have made with no such luck. You might have to email James to see if he has made something similar. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help 🙁

In case anyone is curious, here is the link to the actual dress (sligtly different than the runway version) which is considerably more modest (only has one slit and the bodice is not see through- you can even get it in white insted of nude!) I thought it was also helpful to see the back 🙂
