Dress shopping.... think I found the one (pics inside!)

[aliciagirl]

So, I drove home to take my aunt, future MIL and MOH dress shopping with me. It was mainly out of courtesy because I wanted them to see me try on dresses, but we''re from WV and there aren''t a lot of options and I NEVER thought I would find my dream dress on this trip! We went to two boutiques, neither of which allowed photos, but we managed to sneak some of the dress I am 90% sure I am buying when the SA stepped out to find me a veil and shoes!

It''s from Pronovias and the lady who owns the store said that it''s actually something they and a few other stores have commissioned from them to be less expensive (um, awesome!!) and I wouldn''t be able to find pictures of it online. I haven''t been able to thus far, but it does look A LOT like the Hebra with a different skirt.

I am dying to have those hot pink Viva Lolos now that my feet will be peaking out a bit at the bottom but they are totally sold out! Anyone know of anywhere else I could find them?!??!

Looks great on you - super fun and gorgeous!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

LOVE IT!!!!!

And you need some HAWT shoes to peek out, totally.

 

[princessplease]

Very pretty!!!! Shoes with a pop of color would rock!

 

[cocolaw]

very pretty!!!!! looks fabulous on you!!

 

[gwendolyn]

Hellllloooooo gorgeous!!

Sweetie (great to see you again, by the way!), you totally ROCK that dress! And how great that it''s rare and designed to be less money than the original it was based off of?! Fantastic!!

Looks like such a pretty and fun dress!!

 

[mrscushion]

Gorgeous and fun! You look great in it!

 

[aliciagirl]

Thanks everyone!

They have it on hold for me for a week and then I have to decide! I''m going to stop by a few more places this week and make up my mind! The best part is that I''m actually going to be being the sample and I don''t need any alterations! We''re doing a vintage-themed wedding and reception, so I''m definitely going to go the birdcage veil, feathery flower hairpiece route.

What kind of shoes were you thinking of. I agree about the pop of colour with shoes. Vampy red?

I would love to find a pair of the CL Viva Lolo''s that Cocolaw posted! Those fit in with the colors and I can''t stop thinking about them, but they are sold out! Might have to ebay them!

 

[marlie]

so pretty!! yup, some hot shoes are in order.

 

[DearBuddha]

So pretty! It looks very Moulin Rouge to me; you look amazing in it, and it looks like it will be a ton of fun to wear.

Gorgeous dress!

Not sure where you can find the Viva Lolos except for ebay or one of the sale sites, but in the off chance you wear an 8.5, I would totally check the Papilipis. I love the way the sheer in the vamp would compliment the sheer ruffles on the dress. I am also in crazy love with the Ernesta if you would consider wearing red.

I do wear 8.5! BUT I don''t do peep toes! My toe beside my big toe is longer than my big toe so it looks so silly! The shoes you linked are totally cute, though!!

 

[iheartscience]

Wow, it looks fantastic on you! I love it!

 

[bee*]
