Oh gawd I bought a dress

[Matata]

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH, gurgle, I did what I swore I would not ever do. I wanted a nontraditional wedding dress in burgundy, green, brown, anything but white or whitish. On a whim, I stopped at a bridal store on the way home from work tonight and bought something close to this. Can't find an exact pic on the Venus website. My dress must be last season's. This is as close as I could find. The color is antique gold. Took me 20 minutes to find the dress, jewelry, & shoes. I am still hyperventilating.

Will post the real thing after the wedding in October. I''ve got a few fittings to do and I''m down to the wire to get it done and shipped to Rome. I can spell "procrastinate" in 5 languages

With that near- rennaisance embroidery and that beautiful train, this seems like a perfect dress for a Roman wedding!

That lovely dress is a far cry from non-traditional... but I agree that it''s a great choice for a Roman wedding! Congrats!

Beautiful dress, I love all of the detailing. It really makes this dress amazing. Can''t wait to see the real pictures.

Did I just read that you are getting married in Rome? Are you Italian? If so, so am I and our wedding next September will be in Tuscany, in the Chianti Region.

Tanti Auguri!

My grandmother was from Abruzzi, grandfather was from Naples. My first visit to Italy was 5 years ago. I love the country. Our ceremony is this October. We would have preferred marrying in Tuscany but decided to travel to Budapest & Dubrovnik for the honeymoon and it is more convenient to travel there straight from Rome.
