I love your custom dress.</p> <p>I was torn between 2 dresses for my wedding. If I could redo it, I would pick the one I picked, but I still think about the runner up dress--it was couture, made by a local artist--a full traditional ballgown with a large dress and gorgeous huge train, and an orchid at the waist.</p> <p>If I ever get my body back AND have a ton of money, I will buy that dress to go to the opera.</p> <p>[attach=741/12/m95ke4.400x600.415.jpg]<br /> My Anne Barge fit n flare with pretty flowers and crystals. And my handsome groom. :)</p> <p>For our legal one we wore this, but I would have gone for something puffier ( I wanted ) if we were doing something less casual. </p> [attach=741/12/m95kxw.600x400.jeannemarie-photo----042.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-266177 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 03:11:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 266177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TYSONJA - LOVE your dress! if i were to renew my vows i'd want a dress like that.</p> <p>@anacarlin - omg you are the cutest pregnant woman in a wedding dress!! i love your bangs too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-266174 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:53:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 266174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love seeing pictures of everyone's dresses!</p> <p>i ended up getting the 2nd dress i tried on - an off-the-rack La Sposa dress. it was a strapless, lace, high mermaid style dress with a decently long train. it felt timeless, classic, and elegant... and fit my style/personality. i loved it. if i could have a do-over i'd still want something all lace!</p> <p>[attach=85/12/m95ckp.398x600.I_0183.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=85/12/m95cy7.398x600.I_0211.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-266165 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:11:29 +0000 Cherrybee 266165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow, everyone looks so lovely in these pics! </p> <p>I wore a short dress with lots of petticoats underneath! I loved it! </p> <p>I think if I were to do it again - renew our vows, perhaps - I'd do it barefoot on the beach and wear something long and floaty! </p> [attach=2581/12/m95an5.600x399.wedding6--2-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-266048 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 20:01:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 266048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: omgomgomg I love love love this dress!!!!!!! So gorgeous!!! I really wanted a huge ballgown skirt and a long train, so even though I absolutely fell in love with Grace, I ended up going with Bethani because of those two things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263551 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 22:02:04 +0000 Ra 263551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a strapless A-line gown but I have always had my heart set on a tea length. I still regret not taking the extra time to find one. Maybe if we ever renew our vows I will be able to fulfill my dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263491 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 19:06:11 +0000 matador84 263491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a Pronovias gown. Funny because I never envisioned myself in this type, but when I was trying on dresses it was the clear favorite! I still love it! </p> [attach=2081/12/m8z6yc.398x600.1325.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263475 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:37:40 +0000 Ocean girl 263475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@icebergmom - YES it fits!!! Perhaps I should go back to the SSB thread and confess this?</p> <p>I bet yours would fit great - too bad it's in a clean box or else you could play dress up, too!</p> <p>PS - agreed, although I can't see me shelling out hundreds of dollars to clean a dress that I'll never wear again... although I would like to have it for any future DD's to try on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263472 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:33:10 +0000 IcebergMom 263472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean girl</p> <p>omg you ran upstairs? does it fit? i doubt my fits right now although i am back to pre-preg weight. i just feel like it's sitting differently. i have never re-tried on my dress. it's clean in a box now!</p> <p>p.s. those people that do those "trash the dress" photoshoots are nuts. i cant imagine!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263471 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:30:35 +0000 Ocean girl 263471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone is so beautiful! My dress was from WTOO and was called Polina... it was a sweetheart neckline and then an a-line skirt with pick-ups. It came down to this dress and one that was similar, but more of a fit and flare/soft mermaid. If I were to do it all again I probably would have gone for the other style... although I can't imagine it would be as comfortable. </p> <p>Sidebar - I just ran upstairs to try on my dress!! Does anyone else ever do this?? Mine hasn't been cleaned and is just hanging in plastic in the closet, so I pull it out once and a while and try it on to see if it still fits well :) </p> [attach=2531/12/m8z5b0.399x600.IMG_4785.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263469 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:29:30 +0000 IcebergMom 263469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TYSONJA wedding dress twins! see above! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263452 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:04:31 +0000 BeachMama 263452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved that my dress was simple and elegant. I'd love to get married again and again (to my DH of course) and either choose a more mermaidy sexy look or go the total opposite and do a full, soft, ballgown look. </p> [attach=2021/12/m8z43k.120x347.dress.jpg] [attach=2021/12/m8z43m.399x600.walk.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263451 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:02:47 +0000 photomommy 263451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always knew I wanted something super simple, and I ended up with just that! I'm a wedding photographer and see gorgeous dresses all the time, so it makes me happy to say that I would wear the same dress again for sure :) </p> [attach=2547/12/m8z40n.399x600._-102-8.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-263447 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 17:54:30 +0000 IcebergMom 263447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally loved my JCrew dress and I'd definitely pick it again.

I'm very insecure about my body and never found anything I LOVED. However, I did end up being very happy with my dress. I think if I could do it again I would look for something with sleeves or tried to lose more weight. </p> [attach=2199/12/m8xe4m.399x600.AB-0550.jpg] [attach=2199/12/m8xe4o.399x600.AB-0691.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-262992 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 19:20:01 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 262992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachel: my aunt recently told me the same thing!

I wore Maggie Sottero's Bethani in all white (the magazine pics showed it in white with black embroidery) and I absolutely loved it. It had everything I wanted in a wedding dress and it was a very logical decision-- no magical moment.</p> <p>If we renew our vows at 10 or 15 years, I want to save up cash and go to Kleinfeld (or similar) and have the "magical moment" experience!! I would probably choose a lace sheath or slim a-line-- that was the dress I liked the most (Maggie's Grace, very popular) but it didn't have a long train. </p> [attach=30/12/m8wyun.398x600.DSC_0188r.jpg] [attach=30/12/m8wyup.450x600.IMGP1851.jpg] [attach=30/12/m8wyuq.600x400._MG_0691_01.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/3#post-262603 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:36:09 +0000 luckypenny 262603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsdaredevil omg stop :) thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-of-wedding-dress-did-you-wear-and-what-style-would-you-want-to-wear-now/page/2#post-262595 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:32:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 262595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anacarlin: omg you are beautiful! </p>
