Dress Pictures! (And they''re good, this time!)

[Haven]

I FINALLY had a chance to go back to the bridal salon to take more pictures of my dress! (I posted some mediocre pictures in this thread.)

Anyway, I''m being completely self-indulgent here, but I have a whole slew of pictures to post. I was really nervous that I wouldn''t love the dress as much this time around, but I did, and I do!

I took this one a while ago outside of the bridal salon. My dress is the Melissa Sweet Mila, it''s hanging all the way on the left in this picture:

Can you tell I''m excited?

Haven you are SUCH a cutie pie!! Your smile is just gorgeous--as is the rest of you, you look just radiant, dahlink!!!

 

[Haven]

FI is shorter than me--is this what he''s going to see all day?

I lurve the way the ruching looks in this shot:

Thanks for indulging in my dress obsession, ladies!

Gwenny--thank you! You always make me smile, you sweetheart!

 

[Missrocks]

This dress looks great on you! Such a flattering style and love the asymmetrical lines of the runching!

 

[sera]

Love the ruching! Love the whimsy!

You look really beautiful in it!

 

[zoebartlett]

Oh Haven, it''s gorgeous! You look so happy in the dress!

He isn''t a munchkin...you aren''t that much taller! You nutt!

 

[xapora]

Absolutely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! It was made for you!

 

[Haven]

Missrocks, sera, zoe, DKS, xapora--Thank you for your kind comments! I know I'm a bit obsessed with this dress, so I really do appreciate your responses! (Surely I'll look back on this and think I was insane to post so many pictures of myself in ONE dress!)

DKS--You're too funny! And you're right, FI is not a midget, though when I wear heels he's at least four inches shorter than me. Perhaps the view won't be quite so extreme!

ETA: Sorry, I appear to be pulling a Walt Whitman today with the repeated use of exclamation marks.

 

[Maisie]

[surfgirl]

haven, I LOVE this dress SO much MORE than the old dress! Really, you look radiant in it...and I love the subtle detail on the side of the hip. Not too much schmata on it, if you know what I mean...Lovely! And I love the longer plain one layer veil!
