I found THE DRESS! :)

Hi ladies,I need some opinions, I found my dress, I bought it two months ago and I'm absolutely in love with it.  It's a Carolina Herrera that I got for a really great deal.  I'm a little concerned though because we will probably have to move the wedding date now and we may not get married for 2-3 more years.    So I need your opinions, do you think that my dress has a 'timeless' look, I still want to be able to wear it down the road when we finally tie they knot.  I posted it in my siggy, hopefully it works otherwise I have it in my photos.  Thanks!

I can't see it.

VERY pretty and yes, I think it will be fine for you to wear in 2-3 years. It's definitely not a super trendy gown. [IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/2j1kk6b.jpg[/IMG]

It's really pretty and I think it is classic looking so it will still be good to wear in a couple years.  As long as YOUR taste doesn't change you will be set!

Thank you!    I really needed someone to reassure me.  By the way can you help me out, I'm new at this and have tried so many different ways to get the siggy pic to work and I just can't get it.

The dress is very classic looking.  I went to the Carolina Herrera store in NYC to try on dresses and they had many styles to try on that debuted a few years back.  My only concern is that gives you so much time to change your sense of style and type of wedding you may have.

Thank you all for your opinions!I don't think that I will change my sense of style too much, I really wanted a dress that I would love but I also wanted to be able to look at my wedding pics 20 years down the road and not be like omg I can't believe I wore that.  lol  I know that is my moms reaction to her dress today.  I just really wanted to know if it looked like it would be a 'timeless' style dress.

It's very beautiful! You'll def. still be able to wear it in a few years. You'd still be able to wear it in 20 years!

Am I missing something here? 2 to 3 year postponement of the wedding?! Heck, EVERYTHING changes in two to three years (sometimes).  Not to put too fine a point on it, or a damper on this probably-very-lovely-and-certainly-most-patient woman BUT isn't her question really about whether she, and not the dress, can wait two to THREE years! I mean, if you're already on the Knot and already pretty settled on a dress, You're into the whole thing, alright, not to mention your man.  So push the date back to where it was, or put off the dress entirely because EVERYTHING is subject to change in 365 days times 2 or 3.  Do the math.  Now maybe I should have checked in to snarky brides, which I seldom if ever do, because I'm still at work, very exhausted and probably cranky.  but this is one honest bride's opinion.  And I personally think life is so fluid (including my own) that anything's possible (including with mine), so I wouldn't even prejudge what's gonna happen between now and June 2010 when my wedding is set to take place.  Jeeeez.  Am I off here or what?

It's very classic, I think you should be able to wear it years from now.  Just make sure you don't think you tastes will change, stop looking at other dresses and you should be ok.

joebeth22- thank you for your ever so honest opinion.  We have the patience to wait because we have been dating long distance the whole time we've been dating.  I'm still in school and he is in the Air Force, we both want to get married soon but we have decided to wait because we decided I should finish my degree first due to the fact that I will have to move 2,200 miles away to be with after we get married.  We also want to be able to settle down and build a house right away after the marriage and that's something that is not very easy to do when he is in the air force and could be moved at any time.  I know you probably weren't trying to be rude, but you definitely were and you didn't know what the details were behind us waiting and besides I wasn't asking peoples opinons on that.  Also, we decided to change the date after I had already bought the dress, we had been planning on getting married next fall.

Hey, I bought my dress and I'm not getting married for 2 years. I loved this dress when I was planning my first marriage 3 years ago. after a year of being married to him we divorced, or well he left me for another woman. When I got engaged to my FH I saw THE dress again at a price I could afford and had to have. After all the dresses I've gone through and tried on and after the styles changed over and over again this dress has time and time again stuck out in my mind. So if it's time and time again the dress you love then you will fine. If after the styles change and you find yourself unhappy with your dress you can sell it on a dress site and use that money for your new dress. You seem confident in your man and your dress so I feel you will be fineUnfortuantly I can't see your siggy picture
