Let's Talk Wedding Dresses!

Mine is essence of Australia! I forgot to put that in the original comment

This is mine! I just had my first fitting yesterday and I forgot how much I love my dress ❤

View quoted message That’s so funny you ended up with all the same designer!! Which means you couldn’t go wrong no matter what you chose!

Does your FH know about your dress or is it a secret?

View quoted message Mine is a Sottero Midgley!! I love Maggie’s stuff! So I’m totally biased but your dress is gorgeous!!

do you have your accessories yet?!

View quoted message So glad you found your perfect gown!

I actually found my dress at Kleinfeld also but ended up buying it somewhere else!

the Kleinfeld experience was magical to be honest. My consultant also found my dress for me!

My dress was the second one I tried on! I ended up buying it after getting frustrated with all the other dresses I’d tried on at 3 different boutiques!

View quoted message Oh yeah!!! When I went to Kleinfeld I had a bunch of dresses in mind I wanted to try, my consultant brought me one (that wasnt on the list) and I tried it on first! Ended up being the one after I tried on a few others I kept going back to it!!! Was just perfect in everyway!

I got Maggie Sottero's Charlene! (Pictured below with the model)

I was a close tie with this one and another dress, but I felt most comfortable/bridal in this one! I definitely loved it the moment I put it on!

I ordered it end of April last year and it came in the end of August. It's being stored at the bridal salon for now, but I confirmed alterations with the seamstress for July so I'll be checking it out in 4 months!

View quoted message I had designers in mind but not the designer I ended up get choosing. I chose a bunch of dresses in the store but my top 3 coincidentally were all Truvelle.

The feature of the dress that I like the most is the skirt and unexpectedly the train! When I took a week to think about which of the dresses I liked the best I couldn’t shake the feelings I felt about the pattern on the dress and the train.

View quoted message Lol that was totally me when I was waiting for my dress. I haven’t put it on since September so it’s a long waiting period!
I have showed the girls I work with because they won’t be coming. But that’s literally about it! I’m trying so hard to not show any family that will be there. I want the surprise!

View quoted message So exciting!! I don’t need to start my alterations until next year so even once I get my dress ...more waiting lol!!

Its really hard for me not to show people or talk about my dress with friends but i think the surprise will be worth it!

View quoted message I do have shoes. I went with metallic pink Keds. I'd rather be comfy than pretty in heels. I ordered some ribbon laces to go with them. I've also got my eye on a tiara, but we'll see.

I picked up my dress the end of September! It’s currently sitting in a closet at my dads! I get to start the alterations in April which is super exciting!
Also no pictures of my dress until we are married! I’m trying to not show everyone lol. A few people have seen the dress when I bought it. But I ordered it in a different colour. My sister, step mom and mother in law are the only ones to see it!

View quoted message So excited for you!!

I cant wait to finally get my dress even though I’m sure I’ll be waiting a while!

Was your dress love at first sight?

View quoted message I’ve heard David’s Bridal is really quick with delivery! That’s amazing that you get to see your dress soon!!

do you have your shoes already? Any other accessories that you’re excited to pair with your dress?!

I actually picked mine up today!!! After 11 months of waiting Haha!!! Absolutely in love!!! No photos of the dress though I have a thing about posting photos of it online! Only after the wedding!

View quoted message Love the colour on your dress! And the top is so beautiful!

Is that going to be your vail also?! I love the cathedral length on you! So gorgeous

View quoted message Amazing!! That’s so sweet he wants it to be a surprise! I’m keeping mine a secret until the day of also, only my mom and sister knows what it looks like.

I kept comparing every other dress to the dress I chose so I stopped my search and said I think I need to pick the dress I can’t get over!

View quoted message Did you have a particular designer in mind before you went shopping?! Or did you just happen to fall in love with all three of the designs in person?!

Ahhh!! I’m so excited for you to get your dress!

Do you have a favourite part of the dress? Or any accessory you’re looking forward to pairing with it?

My dress has arrived at my mom's. I get to go try it on on the 15th or so. I'm very excited. It took about a week from the order to delivery. I got a David's Bridal dress, 9MK3747. I'm so looking forward to trying it on!

I ordered my dress on Thursday! I’m so happy it’s gorgeous and it’s not at all what I had in mind! I’ve been told at the latest it’ll come in by August 25th but probably sooner! We’ll see!

This is the dress I picked, I’m in love with the colour!

My dress is “Truvelle Annie”.

I took a week to think about my 3 favourite Truvelle designs (Pamela, Aliz, Annie), but couldn’t get Annie out of my mind.

rush ordered it at the end of November and it’s been available for pickup since last week. I plan to pick it up next week.

Yaayyy!

Thank you, I'm pumped for sure!!

Yeah, I wouldn't stop talking about how much I preferred this dress over the other one. Though my FH had no clue what I was talking about (the dress is kept secret, at his request), he just told me : I'm no expert, but I think you found your dress...you just won't shut up about it!

View quoted message Amazing!! I love your dress, especially the top!! So elegant!

When you left the boutique did you think about the dress at all over those 3 weeks?!

Ahhh!! The wait for the dress is almost painful ahaha! I’m sure you’ll love the dress even more once it’s in!

Waiting for my dress to arrive is definitely driving me nuts right now hahaha.

I ended up with an Allure Bridals dress, which I bought on a follow-up appointment. It was not the first dress I tried on. I had tried maybe 6-7 dresses before that, between 2 boutiques. It also wasn't "love at first sight" but more like "Oh, this is my style!".

I approached the dress shopping experience in a very logical way, which must've been weird for the consultant hahaha. I was considering whether I could breathe (lol), sit and move without a problem. THEN, I thought about how I looked and felt in it.

I couldn't decide between 2 dresses, this one and a strapless one, so I left the store empty-handed. I went back to the boutique about 3 weeks later and tried this one again, which I told the consultant it was "the one"!

I ordered my dress late September and it should be here in March/April.

View quoted message Amazing!! Was it the first dress you tried on?!

Isn't it great to know that your dress is on the way?!

I'm still waiting on the arrival of mine, but it's an A-line Kenneth Winston dress and I think it was love at first sight lol. It took me a while to realize it, but I went back to the boutique and ended up going with it
