Ok so here is a pic of me in the dress...be honest

Original post by JimmysBride

The one that Mom and MOH aren't crazy about... they say it looks too 'antique-y' and that they picture me in something 'more modern'....

I was reluctant to post it but I want your opinions...

What do you girls think??? Please be honest, I can take it.



It will be in white with silver accents (this sample is in ivory with gold accents). And please don't mind the excessive boobage, it won't fit that way up top if I actually get it.

BTW -- Lidia's boutique is the BEST! They have been wonderful to work with thus far!

ETS: I had to delete the pic in case FH takes a peek!

It looks beautiful. It is an antique style, but that is beautiful. Think Princess Grace or Audrey Heoburn. Those dresses are antique style, and they are still stunning! If that is what you want, then go for it!

I think part of the problem I have with it also is that I feel a little too covered up in it (like some of you mentioned).... I guess if it's the one, I shouldn't have any doubts so that probably means this isn't it.



You are probably right. I was down to 2 dresses & loved 1 but kept thinking 'only if it wasn't so boob-y' ( Sweethart neckline) & put on the other one & just had that ' ahh, much better feeling' As my friend likws to say, its not like teh heavens part like soem people say, but if your happy, you'll know. Also keep in mind that sometimes they can change things & a good bridal consultant will tell you your options. I think that are easing in the skirt on mine & taking out one of the crinilins, so I'll like it more, but I know that I like it b/c even if they couldn't do that, I'd get it anyway.

Sorry you are still having trouble. That is a beautiful dress-- the detail even shows up in the pic which is sometiems tough, so it must be even more specatacular in person. If you are having a foraml wedding & like the antique look, then get that style of dress. Your family will like it when they see everything together.

Have you seen Oakslady's dress? Its gorgeous but different, b/c that's her thing. Not everyone's taste, but beautiful none the less. The lesson being, BE you, not just a bride.
