I tried on this dress yesterday and loved it. We’re having a late-spring, day-time ceremony followed by a luncheon reception at this beautiful, remote restaurant by the water. I wanted something elegant and unusual, but not too formal because of the time of day. I’ve been looking at pictures of it online for ages and always came back to it, and I felt awesome in it! It’ll be made to measure, so shorter sleeves and torso etc.
I went shopping with my Maid/Matron of Honor and when I stepped out she was not really into it. She wasn’t really into anything. I think maybe she wasn’t in a great mood or in the right headspace to dress shop, but it was really disappointing to burst out and be like “oh my god, I think this is it!” and to be met with “ok oh, sure *stares back at iphone*”.
For context, we only went to one little boutique, I only tried on four dresses. The friendship is fine, and I’ll reach out today to make sure everything is okay with her, but for now I’m really hoping you bees can let me know: what do you think about this dress? Do you like it? Does it look good?

That is one gorgeous dress and it looks amazing on you. Your friend may have had a rough day, maybe shes not into shopping or its not her personal taste. Doesn’t matter its AWESOME. 😀 If you love it, get it!

The lace is really gorgeous, and I like the way it fades into the tulle at the bottom of the dress around the train and around your neckline. I think the dress definitely strikes me as casual as well as bridal. I like it, and it sounds like it fits your needs!! I personally prefer a fitted dress, but this dress is really lovely, and could definitely be the one for you!! I’m sorry you didn’t get any excitement from your MOH!

Thank you so much bees! I’m literally tearing up reading your comments. I do love it — it perfectly fits the relaxed/elegant vibe we’re going for. And it makes me feel amazing!
fl0werbee : the fabric is my favourite part! It’s actually all hand-embroidered tulle, and some pieces of the “lace” have tiny clear sequins stitched in so it shimmers. It’s just so darn pretty!!
