So I bought a kinda, sorta second wedding dress..

We are planning on doing an after-party in the Cigar Lounge after the reception-- and I thought it would be really cool to get another dress for that, and also so my real dress doesn't get all smoky.. so, I have sorta been keeping my eye out for white/ivory dresses..

Anyway, I went back to Jenny Yoo with one of my BMs to get her dress- and they had samples left over from the sample sale..

I got this dress for $25!!! So, now if I don't want to take my wedding dress off, I don't have to feel bad for buying this!!

Re: So I bought a kinda, sorta second wedding dress..

it's so simple.. I figured I can wear it on the honeymoon regardless if I wear it for the after-party.

BTW- I cannot rave anymore about Jenny Yoo!!

I am soooo on the Jenny Yoo trail for BM dresses...

And I totally agree, you can wear that dress not only for the honeymoon for other occassions thereafter.... what an awesome purchase!

thanks!! Can't wait to hear more about your 'Adventures in Dress Shopping'!!

I had this idea to get another dress- and the price was right.. and the dresses are made very well- it's a total steal.

Adventures in Dress Shopping.... I think I'm going to write a book!!! Although it wouldn't be too interesting I suppose.. 'Girl finds dress, loves dress, sees more dresses, buys first dress. The End...' to continued...

Well-- you know what I mean!!

If you have any Jenny Yoo questions let me know.. My BM today got a totally different dress.. I am so excited that my girls love the dresses so much!

Obviously I do too

It's stripped organza..

It's a BM dress- but, none of my BMs have that shape and it is a totally different fabric.. and obviously ivory.

No, I am sure your hair will look amazing -- I think you are doing an updo -- and I love the idea of this dress with your incredible hair all long and flowy. Then again, you can wear it supercasual with flip flops on HM and have your hair flowin....so either way, I am sure you will look great.

Re: So I bought a kinda, sorta second wedding dress..

I actually have no idea how I am wearing my hair-- the guy who is doing me is a 'master'.. I will give him free reign. If I do it up-- it will be a chignon.. I am not an 'up do' kind of girl.

Sorry, I am doing a chignon too and they always call that an 'updo'

Re: So I bought a kinda, sorta second wedding dress..

Ok-- when I said up-do, I meant like- french twist or something like that.. you know-- like all up on the top, or back of your head. Semantics..

so, maybe I am an up do girl?
