Dying to get my pro pics back, but here is a picture one of our guests took of my Pronovias Pergola gown - the backlighting shows some of the Chantilly lace detail:

I had the same dress, but a different veil and I didn't wear the jacket. Here's mine:
I absolutely love looking at everyone's dresses. I probably tried on (at least) 50 dresses before finding mine because I wasn't getting "the feeling," and when I found this one I just kind of went with it because it made me look more like a woman, which was important to me since people often mistaken me for a teenager. My mom kept having me try on ball gowns and A-line dresses, which hid my frame and made me look like I was just wearing a white prom dress. I am having it altered so it will be strapless. I cannot wait until the alterations are done so I can finally really see my dress! BTW, it is Sophia Tolli - Hazelle.
I got mine at David's Bridal - it was discontinued, and therefor a super bargain! I love the big ruffly skirt. I'm not going with this veil I was wearing in the pic though, I bought a super-cute one from Wedding Factory Direct that has little flowers to go with the flowers on my dress. veil - http://weddingfactorydirect.com/v-1721.html
@MadHops21 I looked at that dress when I was in the store. I didn't try it on because I was going with a Lazaro but it was a gorgeous dress! I love how her dresses are so classic with special twists to make them more modern.
alm&mdm Ironic enough, I went to this salon to find a Lazaro that I've been obsessed with and ended up not loving it as much as I thought I would.
Another girl there was trying on this one, and had her consultant switch dresses so I my room had this one and hers had the Lazaro when I was done with it. I think I owe that girl a favor for giving me my dress as an option!
So many gorgeous dresses! The first time I tried on my dress, I started crying before it was even halfway on. Sometimes you just know. I ended up with the District-Sophia Tolli and found a cathedral length Peter Langner veil to go with it.
I did a reverse image search and only came across this image on Pinterest boards with no designer mentions or links. It's hard for me to even start to guess which designer it is. It is def high end though.
I'd worry less with finding that exact dress and just start shopping. You can always take the image with you to the shops you visit and show the consultant. They'll ask you more about which elements of the dress you like and pull what they have based on your answers. You will still be able to find a beautiful gown.
@missjanex I can't find anything on that dress other than sites that I would be wary of...It looks kind of like a Pnina inspired gown so it depends on your budget really.
Also, I strongly recommend determining venue and such FIRST before gown shopping that will definitely affect what you ultimately decide.
I haven't started shopping for a dress yet, won't be till almost winter.
But I have to say I LOVE everyone's on here, not one I wouldn't love to see in the store here to try!
I just bought my Lazaro 3359 today! I cried when I put it on! It has amazing detail on the back but the sample was so big the clamps blocked the picture so I added the designer's photo for the back. This was just taken on an iPhone photo so the quality is not so great.
Do not get this dress from that site. That is a knock-off site. Do you really believe that that dress is worth only $251? Yeah, I don't think so. If you really want something with a lot of bling then you may want to look into a Pnina dress since she is known for her over the top embellishments and bling.
Never believe you can buy any wedding online and for less than $500 from a shipper in another country. It was sweet of you to look for her, but have some common sense.
Here is mine, Tristan from Maggie Sottero was only $1049, ordered it from www.bestbridalprices.com and got a $300 veil half price. It's absolutely stunning and comes with certificate of authenticity.
Re: Dress Porn!
This is my Essence of Australia dress! I love it. I'm using a sparkly belt instead of the grosgrain ribbon that comes with it.
I love these threads.
Such gorgeous dresses ladies.
Here is my girl, MOri Lee 5173, I can't wait to put her back on!!
