Hi Everybody, I'm so excited that I got my dress!! I was planning to go to so many places but I ended up buying the first dress that I tried on last week at the Reem Acra trunk show. I tried about 9-10 dresses but kept going back to this one.
The dress will be in ivory (the one here is a bit darker). The pictures don't really show the embroidery and the sequins/beading which is mostly on the bodice and the back of the dress. I also bought the veil and the tiara in the picture. The veil is cathedral length but will be bustled for the reception.
I'm still a bit unsure of the tiara I bought - Should I keep looking to see if I can find a better one or should I stick with my first instict? Also, what kind of jewelery and hairstyles would look nice? Thanks for all your opinions and help!
I'll be removing pics soon because of loving but quite nosy Fiance!
BTW - little girl is my niece and flower girl - she was so shocked at first and then she didn't want to leave my side!

EvenEden - Thank you! Reem was there and it was nice to actually have her give suggestions, especially since I wasn't sure how changing the color from the creamy/beige to ivory would affect the beading and embroidery. The silk satin was amazing - the dress was so light too (it looked so heavy on the hanger!)
Her dog Lulu was there and he kept sniffing under the doors looking for her!
Which Reem dress did you get? Did you buy a veil and/or headpiece yet?

I had originally ordered Reem's Trinity, but I started to have my doubts. I was literally agonizing over whether or not I picked the right dress. It was unique and sophisticated but not very bridal or grand looking. It was more funky than 'Grace Kelly.' I ended up seeing another Reem (Perfection) on some random website and I fell in love with it. I called the corporate number for Reem Acra and located a store in New York that had the sample of it. I went to the store to try it on (not even Reem's boutique had the sample) and as soon as I put it on I knew! So I changed my order. I have my tiara already, it is all swarovski crystals in a rhodium (silver type) setting. I chose something I thought had a vintage feel to it because that is the vibe my dress gives me. I will post a pic if I can find one. I am ordering silk tulle and having my veil custom made. Haven't even started that process yet though!This is the thread I started about my dress change, so you can see both dresses!
Oh yeah, and as far as the color goes, you made the right choice. The sample of my original dress (Trinity) was shown in Candlelight, that is the color that's a bit darker than Ivory. I thought it was really pretty, I even debated ordering it in that color. When I found Trinity at another store in Ivory I was amazed!! It was even more beautiful and the crystals on it just popped out at you so much more against the lighter color. I ordered my dress in Ivory!!

So classic. I can just imagine in years to come when you look back at it, that it will be forever in style.
