Wedding Dress
Second thoughts

I am sure I'm not the only one having second thoughts on the wedding dress!?!? Am I?!?!

Well, I have TWO beautiful dresses that I purchased at the Running of the Brides. I am now and (have been for a while) re thinking my dress selections! The running of the brides was so much fun but I think it put so much pressure in buying the dress then and there. Now, that I have had time to think, I purchased two beautiful dresses that are the total opposite of what I wanted! Oops . . . .
*I did not want a ball gown wedding dress although, very beautiful, I already wore 2 ball gown dresses for my quinceanera (cotillion/sweet 15)
- I bought a ball gown (1st dress). . . oops 
*I want a white dress
- I bought an ivory dress (2nd dress) . . . . oops . . .

I had time to think of the kind of wedding dress I would like for my wedding.
I want something modern, not a ball gown or an A line silhouette. Although, something modern, I’m very attracted to lace! Finding a dress will be quite difficult since most of the lace dresses look more romantic, classic and traditional as oppose to modern. I like bling! So I don’t want my dress too plain, I like sparkles. I like the sweetheart neckline and I want a somewhat long train.

Time to look for my third dress!!!! And I’ve already started, I went to HOB and saw a very pretty dress almost like something I want but not the one.

Stay tuned!

Maggie Sottero has a lace dress that has sparkles all throughout the lace with a brooch for bling.  You could have the bust changed to a sweetheart, but the train is relatively short.  (It's the Maggie Sottero Karena Royale, although it may not be modern enough for you...it's my dress if you want to see how it looks).  Good luck dress hunting!

You should check out the dress I got.. Has sweetheart neckline and a lot of lace. It is a trumpet gown though. Not A line.

You're welcome! The gown is sooo beautiful and it sparkles!!! Once you put it on, you won't want to take it off! And it will look great on your figure!  Good luck! Post some pics! :)

Thanks guys!  Cherry268 - I did see the MS lace dress.  It is beautiful it almost looks like the Jim Hjelm dress of my dreams!  I'm not looking to spend much though :(  But thank you, I might just have to try it on though :)

futuredrbraun - thanks.  I really like the dress. however, after looking at a few pics on corporate allure website.  Check it out: http://www.allurebridals.com/index.php?id=3&product_id=16

If this is how it really looks, I'm not so sure I like it.  Also, the pattern is to consistent through out the dress. Does that make sense?  There is another very pretty one!  Check out madcat877.

Unfortunately, this is dress number 3 that i'm looking to buy!!!!
