Finally took the Plunge...My dress!!

[luvbug]

After months and at least 15 trips to bridal stores in 3 states (I know, i''m crazy but I like to see everything that''s out there!) I finally ordered my dress. My mom bawled like a baby when I took her to see it so I figured that was a good sign

I ended up with the first designer whose dresses I fell in love with Jim Hjelm!
Not at all what I was looking for, but here it is....

 

[luvbug]

Making some really weird faces so I smudged it out

 

[luvbug]

Love the back

 

[luvbug]

More back <3

 

[luvbug]

Here''s the detail on the front. I love that the embellishment almost looks "branchy" for my fall wedding. And I got it in this antique color, thought it fit well with the venue & my skin tone

 

[Thomperchik]

absolutely stunning!

 

[luvbug]

I''ll be wearing a veil almost exactly like this totally plain cathedral length.
Sorry for the pic overload!! and thanks for looking

 

[Loves Vintage]

Wow! That dress is perfection on you!! I love the embellishment on the back! The fabric looks divine.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I love it!

 

[tlh]

[meresal]

Reminds me of pearls.

I love Jim Hjelm so much! What a gorgeous choice in a gown. The detailing is beautiful and I can see why you are so excited! Congrats!

 

[PearlDahhhling]

OH MY GOSH!!!!

It''s incredible! I am absolutely IN LOVE with it! And it looks incredible on you!

It''s a good think I already have my dress, or I think I''d go on a hunt for this one!

I LOVE IT!

 

[luvbug]

Thomperchik - Thank you!

Loves Vintage - Thank you for the kind words! I really love the rich look of the fabric too one of my fav parts

Hudson_Hawk - Thanks!

tlh - Thank you, I was so happy to find some sparkly detail I loved

meresal - Thanks! I was weary about the color the 1st time I saw it, but I love how it makes the satin shine

iloveprincesscuts - Thanks, I might have one or two more pictures. I bought it after a party night with my parents and FI and wasnt in the mood to be photographed much

violet3 - Thanks, the back really got me too. I hadnt found a dress until now that I loved the front and back equally - it was always one or the other!

Deelight - Thank you! It took a long time to find it but it was worth it

 

[luvbug]

Definitely, Maybe - Thank you!

dcgator - It''s so beautiful in person, it really "fits" well on the dress I think. Almost looks like artwork IRL & very thought out

Clairitek - Thanks! I really wanted a JH but everything was looking blah...until this one

PearlDahhhling - You''re so sweet

Did you post your dress? I can''t find it.

Very, very pretty! Congratulations!

 

[alli_esq]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, LUVBUG!!! I cannot tell you how much I L

VE that dress!!


that gorgeous Jim Hjelm was #2 on a very short list of dresses for me...and I would totally have been thrilled with it! (in fact, looking at it on you now is making me wonder if I made the right decision after all...

) I''m SO happy you''ll be wearing it on your special day--it looks absolutely 100% perfect on you!!!!

 

[jcarlylew]

that is sooo stunning on you!!

 

[sunnyd]

Pic overload? What does that mean?

Gorgeous dress, love the color!

 

[Sha]

Gorgeous! I love the colour, and the beadwork on the neckline and back.....scrumptious!

 

[bee*]

It''s gorgeous!! I love the back of it.

 

[E B]

I LOVE it. Glamorous without being showy. One of my top ten favorite dresses on a PS bride.

 

[newbie124]

Oooh, what an elegant dress! I haven''t seen anything that really looks like that. It looks great on you, and I also love the detail in the back! Congrats on finding the one!

 

[AmberGretchen]

The dress is AMAZING - absolutely perfect, definitely worth the search and the wait, I''m so glad you found something so love and that suits you so well

 

[ysj99]

luvbug your dress is amazing!! who is the designer? i am a little biased because it looks similar to mine. how do you plan on accessorizing? do you know what type of veil, shoes, etc.? the hardest part is definitely over! congratulations on finding THE DRESS!
