dress regret :-(

udream05

My dress is gorgeous and it looks fabulous on me if I do say so myself... but it weighs a ton.  We got rid of some the fabric and for some reason I thought that would make a difference but at my 2nd fitting I found out it did not.. my friend said I'll just need to drink enough not to notice! guess I'll be pretty buzzed at the wedding.  Also having issues finding dancing shoes.  My arthritis is starting to get worse in my feet so unfortunately I need ugly comfortable shoes which I'm having trouble accepting

on a brighter note I wrote my difficult bridesmaid a long email about how her attitude about my wedding was really hurting my feelings and if she didn't want to be in the wedding she didn't have to.. so somehow that made some click in her head because now she's being super friendly and helpful like she used to be before she because difficult.. so that's a major relief!

I have bad feet too. I am wearing nice shoes (and leaning against my honey) for pictures, then off they go for orange sneakers!

Did I mention my dress is tea length?  LOL

I am glad she is back on board... so sorry about your dress
mine weights a ton too but I realized that when I bought it, and all we altered was adding a bustle to it for later...

as for shoes... after multiple fractures I am stuck in flats... I ca't wear heals anyways it is what it is unfortunatly... I like PP idea of sneakers... MAYBE! no one will see them under my dress.... I WANT to see pics of you in orange sneekers in a TEA LEGNTH dress HEHE

I'm sorry I can't be of help for your dress, but maybe shoes...

I am wearing these during our reception.  I am a big fan of Tom's as they are super comfortable.  I know I'll be able to dance the night away in these.  Plus, they have several different wedding styles, so they're just fancy enough .

My dress is heavier than I remembered when trying it on too. But I still love it more than any other. I figure the day of, I'll be so excited and happy it'll "feel" lighter.

I thought I would be in tea length, for a number of reasons. I do have a back injury that has limited me the last two years, so weight was also a concern for me. I did wind up with a floor length wedding dress - and I am so glad it isn't too heavy!

I wear heels often, and will on my wedding day. I won't be walking much, we won't have dancing. I will be on my feet more than usual, but I don't anticipate too much more pain.

we were actually thinking about trying out the tons, I'm going to look at Nordstrom rack first to see what I can find.  Eveyone says they find them there, so I'm going to check it out tomrorow.  Need my orthodics to fit in them, but we were thinking that might be my best bet.  I asked my one friend if I could wear my grandma-ey work shoes to my wedding since they're probably the best thing for my feet, she said it I got them in white and we bedazzled them I could do that, so I might have to go that way with shape-ups as my dancing shoes if the toms don't work out.
