I ordered my dress this weekend! W/pic

My mother and I went to Kleinfeld's this weeknd. I can't believe I actually ordered it! I thought it would take forever to make up my mind, but then I found exactly what I was looking for - a strapless dress (it has straps, I'm making is strapless), sweetheart top, pick-ups on the bottom, ivory color .... it's perfect!

It's a Henry Roth. I had to try on a size 10 so it's huge since I ordered it in a 4 with lots of alterations. I even got my head piece, veil and earing to match. The pick-ups on the bottom part of my dress have tear drop shaped crystals at the gathering. I got identical earings to match. Kleinfield's is custom making them for me.

A special thanks to Jola for finding a very similar dress that I loved. I brought them the picture and they found my dress!

The service at Kleinfeld's was great. I was there on Saturday which was the last day the Brooklyn location was going to be opened. The place is huge and they have an awesome selection of dresses. I worked with Lea, who is amazing. She got me exactly what I wanted and in my price range. I spend just a tiny bit over $3K for my dress, veil, alterations, earings and headpiece. She totally stuck to my budget and I LOVE my dress!

Here's some of me in it and then the website picture. If I had know I was going to buy a dress, I would have done my make up!

Thanks I love it! The best part is it's mostly organza, so it's nice and light! Great for a summer wedding and perfect for pictures on the beach.

I know...I really thought I would go outside my budget on this one! I have on most other wedding details. I HIGHLY recommend Kleinfeld's. They were so nice and had so many choices. They let me try on things beyond my price range and then found similar things that I could afford. Lea was FANTASTIC! They are even letting me get my headpiece early so I can do hair trials with the piece.
