Colored shoes with your dress and other questions?
I can think of 3 brides that our FB friends of mine that wore colored shoes, I'm thinking about having mine dyed the color of my bridesmaids dresses (watermelon) Anyone else wearing colored shoes?
I got my dress at Davids and part of me is bummed cause I know they are mass produced, but I'm a bigger girl and they had such a wide selection to try on in my size, other stores maybe had 1 or 2 I could actually try on. I didn't want to order anything else in my size without trying it. I know it doesn't matter and hopefully no one at my wedding has seen the dress on like ten other people.
For those with a puffier dress did you wear a slip? I'm still debating, it costs a lot of extra money and the dress looked ok without it. Although I saw some ebay I could buy that wouldn't cost as much.
Ok I'll be done with questions sorry the post is long.

Re: Colored shoes with your dress and other questions?
As for your dress, you make it original. Remember that you wear the dress not the dress wears you. Who cares if they have seen it on other brides, what you do with your accesories, hair, ,make-up and the way you strut your goods in it will make those people forget the other brides and gleam in your beauty.
As for the poof. I am in the same boat. I am not sure if I want to wear one or the poofiest of all. I will determine that after or during my first fitting. The poofiness of your dress will also change the dress and make it your own. Try it with all and determine which you like best, there are tons of deals out there, maybe you can borrow one from someone else? It will fall into place and it will all be perfect!
Thise are them:
I agree about looking for coloured shoes outside of bridal wear. I got these at bloomingdales online and they were $60 less than the price at Zappos. They were onsale. Whatever you find, I suggest googling to see what you can come up with onsale. Zappos should have some watermelon coloured shoes. If they are a few shades off, nobody will notice. I think coloured shoes are a great pop of colour and I know I will FOR SURE wear mine again, where I wouldn't with bridal shoes.
As for the poof. I am wearing at least one crinoline under mine. I tried it on with one and it wasn't quite as big as the model pic: but it looked great in the store. Now I'm debating because the pic of me in it, doesn't look poofy enough. hahahahaha. Below is the model pic. I don't have a pic of me in it on my comp.

i got them in watermelon, of course
my dress is a trumpet/sheath style, (somewhere in between i guess? the tag says trumpet but it doesnt look as trumpet-y, if that makes any sense?) i dont have a stock photo because the dress has been discontinued. im wearing a slip under it because it made it look smoother and cleaner. too me it was worth the extra $$
mine will be zebra with red trim fllats for the ceremony and red high heels for the reception in total costing me about 25 bucks.
Though as long as you feel they are right then they are right!

As for the crinoline, if you prefer the look of the dress with one and you can find it for cheap on ebay, why not?

and as for the poofiness, I tried my dress on with and without a slip, and decided I am going to have them sew in extra layers of crinoline since I want the extra volume, but couldn't walk in the mermaid slip since it basically glued my legs together down to my knees lol!
check out the prices on your options between altering the dress or ordering a slip online (not from the store!)...
