gown shopping update!

Original post by cleokizzy

went to Bridal Reflections with my mom earlier and found 2 verrryyyyy beautiful gowns, both of them from - Ines Di Santo! (seriously, she's my new discovery and fast becoming my fave designer!!!)

i tried several gowns but we, surprisingly, quickly narrowed it down to two gowns - each very different from each other! one is a ball gown and the other is a trumpet/very drop waist then 'poofs' down just above my knee. i didn't take a picture (although i shouldve asked *duh*) but here it is:

the first is the Carlotta (ball gown), its so traditional, princessy-like and reminds me so much of Grace Kelly when she got married! i tried it on with the veil and headpiece and it's really a stunner...

the second (very different gown) is the Rita which is the trumpet style. with this gown, it's very chic, sophisticated and elegant at the same time. tried it on with a birdcage veil and it's soo beautiful!

there is a huge price difference between the two: the carlotta costs twice than the rita. but it's not a matter of price at this point... it's more like: i have to figure out what look i'm really going for!

their both winners though!

btw - i haven't officially said yes because i have just 1 more appointment to go to. plus, i really need to know what 'look' and 'feel' i'm going for. my theme is Royal Wedding but both gowns can go with the theme!

I'm usually more of a ballgown girl, but I love Rita They are both gorgeous and you definitely have to figure out what style you are going for before you can finally choose the one. Good luck, but i'm sure you will be happy either way

beautiful gowns! My one comment would be to make sure that your arms will be comfortable in the first one. My friend's gown had straps like that and she couldnt lift her arms up at the wedding! She was miserable! Just thought i would throw that out there!
