Sooooo... I have been hunting for 'The dress' and while I was visiting my family during Christmas time. I wanted to shop with my mom and at the last minute, stopped at Alfred Angelo.... and after the day of trying on 20+ dresses, I found 'the one'!!! I Loved it!!! It was amazing. BUT When I went to talk to the store about making a deposit, I found out I could not afford it! The dress was only going to be on sale until Jan 15th. My family and I were trying to see if we could put a partial deposit, but even though the store wanted to help us out, the corporate managers didn't allow it....And My family could not afford the deposit either.
I was very sad but was finally able to accept that it wasn't meant to be. I made the decision to look for dresses in feb/march when I could save up some money.
Last night, I found out that my aunt heard about my dress fiasco. No one in my family knows how she found out. And well.....she said she would help my parents put the deposit!!! On top of that, my parents said they would pay for the rest of the dress, veil, shoes, etc. (FH and I are paying for all of the wedding ourselves). I could not have asked for a more amazing and loving family as I have!! I am still in amazement and shock!
What do you guys think of this dress? (ps. it will have NO bow). Unsure if I should go with ivory or white?? (dress shown in ivory)

ooo yay so happy for you
i really like the dress! i honestly don't think anyone can tell the diff between white and ivory unless they're next to another ... but if i had the choice, i'd prob choose white only because of tradition's sake

You look gorgeous! And how wonderful to have such an amazing family! I'm partial to ivory but that's just my thing. Try them both and see how you feel.
Congrats!

What a GREAT family and gift for you!!! I like the ivory, but it seems a little dark? Try on a white dress and see how that looks against your skin and decide from there!
