Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

They are both Gorgeous!! But, I do agree with LIJunebride about checking out a less expensive one. My budget for my dress was way up there because in my thinking I was willing to pay high dollar for a dress that looked gorgeous on me. HOwever, to my surprised I picked a dressed that was under $1,000 and I was floored. That was the only dress where I felt it was ' The dress' And I tried on alot of them!!! Good LUck and don't give up! It will fall in your hands.

I love #1 regardless of the color ....

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

What if you tried to bring a picture of any of those gowns to a custom dress maker and see if they could make it in white and for how much? You might get lucky. Good luck!

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

Did you show a pic of gown 2?

Jimmysbride---i feel for you, I think, you are just stressing way too too hard. Gown 3 is way to revealing in the chest area. Go with gown 1. Relax, you still have time.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

try getting the third's style # and then get a quote from netbride.....maybe you can afford it afterall!!

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

That 3rd gown is beautiful

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

Yes, it is! Who's the designer?

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

Charge it if you can't find it cheaper. That's the one thing you gotta splurge on. It's all about you.

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

I think its perfect! It doesnt look too dark!!

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

do you have a pic of the 2nd gown? I LOVE gown number 3...what was the price they gave you, if i may ask? and who designed it?

Re: Heartbroken...Finally fell in love with a gown...BUT (now w/pic)

From the way it sounds I am going to suggest a designer for you - try Paloma Blanca. Her dresses are beautiful, very classic and elegant. I know Bridal Reflections carries the couture line and the one dress from that line that I tried on is very similar to the first dress you posted.

I would go back and ask them for Paloma's regular line and her couture as I know they have it - its worth a shot.

Bring a pic of the first dress - tell them you want the Paloma couture that is the same style - hopefully the salesperson is familiar enough to know which one it is.

Good luck and hope I helped!!!! Good luck

Gown #3 is Avine Perucci by St. Pucchi. I've been in love with this gown since day one and though I had a feeling it would be out of my gown budget I didn't know by how much until I tried it on. The gown is well over $4K after everything, even after the measly 10% off at the trunk sale. I'm currently shopping around for a better price but that'll be hard to come by since many places don't carry this designer. This is the 'more affordable' line of Pucchi collections... Pucchi gowns easily run up to $10K. (Like I said, damn my expensive tastes!! )

The second gown is an almost identical knock off of another Perucci gown that I liked, but surprisingly not as much as I like the knock off for some reason. I haven't found a pic of the knock off yet so I'll post the Perucci.

After seeing all three gowns, I went back and reread your post. I personally think gowns 1 and 2 are absolutely gorgeous. Firstly, I would give everyone I know and trust photos of both gowns and each time they pass a bridal salon I would tell them to go in and ask if they have anything similar in white. Secondly, I would ask for a swatch of the 2nd gown. Natural may be a lot lighter than you think.
Why are you so against an off-white gown? Did you try any on? Some girls have hair color and complexion that actually look better in ivory than in stark white.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

Why don't you have it made????? There is a guy on Jericho Turnpike, I think it is something like MARIO COUTURE, he is between Lakeville and New Hyde Park Rd on the Right side if you were going east. I have heard the he make AMAZING Dresses.

May if you have something in mind, or show him a picture he would be able to make it just the way you want it....

GOOD LUCK
