Well, after being indecisive for months, I finally settled on a dress and took the plunge. It''s a Casablanca dress, and I''m getting it in ivory with champagne beading/trim.

I went to the shop on Saturday with one of my bridesmaids to show her the dress and to have her try on bm dresses. As I was trying on the dress, I realized that my mind was basically made up. I didn''t cry or anything like that, but I realized that for the last several weeks I''ve had it in my head that this was the dress I would get. So I decided that I might as well order it that day to spare myself another trip to the shop.

Since I wasn''t planning on ordering it that day, I hadn''t brought a camera along to take pictures.

So I''m posting the pictures from the Casablanca web site.

I saw it in a bridal magazine and immediately loved it!

My dress is very similar...it has the same bow and bead work around the waist. I wish I had seen this dress before I ordered mine, just because it is so similar yet a bit different. But oh well, I love my dress too! LOL

Congrats!!!

And how about going back one of these days and getting us some real pics!? hehehehehe

Thanks everyone for your comments!
The one thing I''m not sure about is whether I want to wear it strapless or add some spaghetti straps to it. I ordered it strapless, but I''m considering having straps added during alterations. Do you think it would look okay with spaghetti straps? I tried to call the bridal shop to see if I could get matching straps (but not attached). The lady said she didn''t know and she would call me back.
Has anyone done this? Did you order straps from the dress maker, or do most seamstresses have straps they can add? Or do they make the straps from extra fabric that comes off the dress? I just don''t know how it works.

sarturn - I''m sure an experience seamstress can figure it out. perhaps they could use a remnant from the hemming to match things, but I don''t think it will be difficult...
 
Saturn, my bridal shop said that the seamstress at your fittings can add the straps if you are interested. I was originally totally against a strapless dress, but of course fell in love with one! And then I was like, well I''ll just have spaghetti straps...but the more I see pics of them, I think I will just keep mine strapless. Oh man, what a ramble LOL. Point is, the seamstress will take care of it for you, at least at my bridal shop.

I absolutely LOVE your dress!!! You should go back to the shop sometimes and snap some pics of you in it!

My dress came with the matching straps that were removable. They even had a little beading on them to dress them up... I didnt use them though.
 
your dress choice is absolutely gorgeous!
 
I love it! Can''t wait to see your pictures in it!
