Hey bees! I happen to have 2 dresses in my closet that I wore once each ( I am kind of a dress horder 😀 so I couldn’t get rid of them).. DO you think that there is anything that I could do with them wedding wise? I want to stay in my wedding dress the whole night.. so I don’t really want a reception dress.. is there anything else? :0) thanks bees!!!! I am open to alterations on the second dress but not the first. The first is a floor length tiered number.. and happens to be what I was wearing when I met my Fiance. OH- and sorry for the pic size/quality.. !!

@pengoala: I was thinking about that! But we actually wanted to go to “our” vietnamese place which is VERY casual.. It is pretty sentimental to us..
@dynamic_duo: lol that would kill me a little on the inside. Do you think the second would be good for a TTD?

@pengoala: maybe the second one. Would the first be too dressy for an engagment dinner?

have you had your e-pics done yet? That 1st dress would be perfect for that! Or just have other photos done in those dresses (of you and FI) and place them at the guest book table, candy buffet table, etc…
could the 2nd dress be used as a Bridesmaid or Best Man dress perhaps? maybe with a different colored sash? Not sure how you feel about that, just a suggestion.
I love both of those dresses. and maybe if your epics are done and they would fit your BMs and you do not mind them wearing white, they could wear them… So just a thought.
I love both of those dresses:) oh! you could also perhaps wear one for the “thank you” photos? if that is what you are planning on doing.
let us know what you decide:)
Good Luck!

@Ronneykay: oooo!!!! thank you photos!!!!! I love that Idea! We did some e pics already.. but I bought new dresses (again, dress horder) lol! Actually, bought a new one and made one 🙂 I was thinking about adding buttons down the back of the second dress so maybe we could play that up in the thank you pics! Thank you soooo much! Maybe I can wear the first to our engagment dinner, except.. I cant really eat in it.. or breathe.. lol
Edit: I added a pic of the dress I made! 🙂
