Just for fun, your ultimate blow the budget wedding gown

If you had the choice, and money was no object, what would you go for?

1. Soft and romantic. Layers of soft silk organza like a Hollywood Dream.

2. Vintage whether that's a silk 'rock n roll number or a fishtail silloutte in a beautiful heavy lace.

Or something else?

    My dream dress.... we'll you've already seen it linda!! Just luckily for me it didnt cost £1000's or i would have had to have made some compromises...

    For me, i dont like netting or pickups or ruffles on the outside of the dress. Just a bodice type lace up top half, ballgown skirt with a big hoop to make it puff out like cinderella and a hugggeeee train.

    My dd always thought it would never be option 1 - how wrong can you be!
    She blew her budget (and some!) on her dream dress which is very definately option 1! The designer pic just doesn't do it justice and I'm not allowed to put up a pic of her wearing it until after the wedding!
