  does it have anything specific on it? ie. rhinestones, pearls and etc.Rouching, I am having swarvoski crystal buttons put down the back and adding a blinged out applica to the side flower.
  
  why did you pick your dress?I fell in love with the dress. It was one of the first ones I tried on in NYC but felt bad about the price since my mom is getting everything for my dress. I shopped around for over 6 months and kept comparing everything to that dress. I got an email from POB that they were having a sample sale. My mom and I decided to check it out. I always thought it would be crazy stuff flying off the racks and older styles that are almost falling apart. Well it was so nice and laid back and so different then what I thought. We looked through the racks and there it was my Mila dress! The owner came over and explained that the dress shouldn't have even been on the sale because it's still a new style. It was a mess up on the manufactures part, they sent 2 samples to the store for people to try on instead of just one. They needed to get rid of one and that's how it ended up on the sale. Sorry for this being long but wanted to share.
  
  when did you buy your dress?  June

  did you buy a set or individuals? 
  
  is new , borrowed or your blue? It will be new
  
  are you going diamonds or rhinestones?Diamonds with ivory pearls is the idea
  
  where did you buy your shoes at?Haha shoes have been the toughest thing for me. I have 3 pairs right now and can't make a decision. I will take them to my fitting next week and decide then.
  
  what color are they? They will be Ivory
  
  where did you get them dyed at if you did?--
  
  do they have"bling" on the lol?  Yes

  where did you get your dress from? Forever Yours Bridal - Voorhees, NJ

  what color is it? ivory
  
  what  type of dress is it? modified sweetheart, mermaid style
  
  does it have anything specific on it? ie. rhinestones, pearls and etc. it has some rhinestone type of design on the front and on the train
  
  why did you pick your dress? I originally wanted what I thought of as the traditional wedding dress, that came out in a  big puff at the bottom, but once I tried one on, I noticed that I looked lost in the dress.  Once I changed the dress style and tried this dress on, I knew that this was the one that I had to have.
  
  when did you buy your dress?  in January....its a good thing I did because the bridal shop just called me to tell me that my dress won't be here in April as originally scheduled.  It won't be here until July.
  
  do you watch say yes to your dress? yes
  
  have you been to that store? no.  I thought about it, but never made it up there.
