Congrats everyone!

Re: Have you bought your dress yet ladies?

  • I'm also getting married on the 17th and I bought my dress already.  It's an lace trumpet Allure dress with a keyhole back.  I got it in ivory.

    I can't seem to get the PIP to work, so here's a link!

  • Very nice and classy! (: and btw I LOVE pandas a little bit OCD haha I have a tatt on my back on one
  • My wedding is May 2nd and I got my dress last month!  It's an Oleg Cassini from David's Bridal.

     

    @Anastasia517 - Love your dress! I actually was in love with a lace keyhole back one too (thought it was my "dream dress"), but I tied I it and it just didn't feel comfortable to me (I felt more naked in that than a strapless dress lol), but that's just me lol. Congrats on finding your dress!

  • Thank you both. :)

    I tried on strapless dresses but they made my chest look really saggy.  I'm sure it had to do with the fact that they were all way too big but I definitely wasn't willing to risk it! haha

  • I'm getting married May 18th and I got my dress and picked out our venue on the same day! haha :D

  • @ArtTeacher23-Thank You!  I can add a sparkly belt.  I loved the way it looked with the belt when I tried it on but it might be too much depending on what veil I get.

  • I'm getting married May 17. I bought my dress two weeks ago. But, I am making a few changes to it, so I wanted to it early so we wouldn't be pressed for time.

  • I am getting married May 3, and already got my dress about 3 weeks ago! 
  • I'm getting married on May 17th also and I have a lace ivory dress. I ordered it in February.

  • I'm getting married may 25 and I have already purchased my dress its the Karena royale by Maggie sotterro
  • We're getting married on the 17th and no, I haven't picked my dress yet. I have a general idea - very casual... probably something you can get at Express or something, as I'm very low-key - and my mom said she doesn't need to be involved because I don't want to have the traditional "day of getting fitted" like you see on TV. It'll happen soon enough! I'm more focused on venue right now - that's the most important to me!

    That makes sense then.  Mine was pretty low-key too... I went once, then ordered a similar dress online second hand.  It was very similar to the one that was my favourite, but with the two changes that I would have wanted to make to the original anyway (score!).  Dress shopping was fun, but I was happier finding a dress I loved for 50% off than continuing to shop.

  • We're getting married May 3 and I haven't bought my dress yet. I'm trying to lose a little bit of weight first, and my mom needs to have time to come dress shopping with me (she's in very seasonal work, and summer's are very stressful for her).

  • I am getting married May 31. I just bought my dress yesterday and it is a Justin Alexander. All lace mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline. I cannot wait to wear it!
  • the dresses look GREAT ladies I can not wait until May I just Finalized my dress purchase two weeks ago!! I Can not wait until MAY 17!!!
  • Found my dress, was told to come in and order it in September... as I want to lose a little more weight before ordering my size :/ I'm just hoping if I can lose any more weight, that I still like the dress on me! Otherwise I fear I may go into panic mode, lol :)
  • I bought my dress in March for my May 2014 wedding. I didn't have to order and took home that day. She had just got it in and it hadn't been tried on yet. This is the dress I got. It was 1 of 10 dresses brought in from the Mia Solano European collection. http://www.svatbasnu.cz/detail/svatebni-saty-M1227L/1/

    Oh boy! You ladies are scaring me! My wedding is May 24 and I havent purchased a gown yet. Was planning to do so in Oct. Ive lost 35 lbs and ideally would like to lose 60 more. I know I wont do it by Oct but will manage to lose some more.  I called Alfred Angelos (Im sure I will get one of their disney gowns) and asked for their advice as far as when is the latest I could order a gown...any gown...and they told me Nov. Im hoping they know what they are talking about. I was told it would take 4 months to get a gown...any gown.

    I was also told that a corset back gown is ideal if Im going to lose more weight after I order...apparently they usually order it 2 sizes smaller anyway but could alter it up to 3 sizes (down).

    You'll be fine. I ordered my dress in March, and it arrived beginning of July at my dress shop. (They had told me September) I wouldn't wait any longer then October, because you'll want time for alterations/worst-case-scenarios. I was just super excited to go dress shopping, so I was ON IT.
