    Haha i'm sure he will love that! You will have no problem finding almost flat shoes. Mine feel so elegant. My bridesmaid (my sister) is 6ft without heels!

    So Aimee, what about your tiara and veil? Have you got piccies of those that you can share...also bridesmaids dresses?

    In the past few days I have changed my BMs colour from pink to green to coffee/gold. I can see now why they say choose your dress first, and then everything follows from that! I am going to have long BM dresses in a coffee/gold colour (to match embroidery on my dress) with the wide band around the middle in ivory (to match my dress). H2b is happy now that he does not have to wear a pink cravat lol

  • Hi girls,

    Been away for a while so just catching up - great thread i love seeing what dresses others have chosen!!

    This is mine - not ordered yet though got an appointment in two weeks, is such a hard decision, i put it on in the shop and absolutely love it, take it off, get home and then question if it is the right one! Ahhh!

    Blonde and Claire, you're dresses are gorgeous!!!! Claire, 110% go with that dress. Both dresses are different to the usual style that brides go for. I love it!!

    Claire, out of interest, what is the designer of your dress?? How much?? Sorry, I am so nosey :)

    Aimee, I definitely want a veil, as we never get to wear one any other time lol. I fell in love with a Swarovski one in the shop but it was £90 odd !! Have been looking at www.thecrystalveil.com and they have the same veil for c.£30. Little got hers from this site and she recommends. I'm not sure what size, whether to go shoulder length or elbow length!!

    Get that tiara up here lol

    Here is mine ladies! It too was a shop sample one so got it for only £300! It will need alterations though as its a size 12 and im a size 8 - so not sure how much that will cost! Im thinking of getting a veil and no tiara with it but will have to go back and try it on with both before I decide properly.
    I cant post photos so hopefully this link will work!

    6angels, I love the bodice and the flower :D . I'm a sucker for detail :D

    £300 is a great price. We all seem to be sample savvy - clearly the way to go!! Mine is a 12 and I'm a 10 (on a good day :D ), so my alterations will be bust (dress too big there :o ), waist and hem. Have agreed price of £100, so maybe it will be around that mark?

    Sammy, this is practically it. The boddice on the dress matches it.
