I bought my dress!
Permalink Closed

Let me preface I know this is not exactly everyone's style. The few friends I showed it too weren't huge fans but I don't care because I love it.

It's by Justin Alexander Couture. The lace jacket/longsleeve bolero thing is removable. While I love the idea of having my shoulders covered during the ceremony, it's a little too beaded IRL so I think I'm going to have the alterations lady rework it or comeup with something else. Underneath its strapless with the sweetheart neckline you can kinda see.

It has a cathedral train and I'm pairing it with a Tomasina long veil that's like a mantilla but the lace starts half way down.

And it will look smashing with my strappy gold Manolos purchased for the wedding!

WOW!  That is a truly stunning dress!  How could anyone not like it?!  I mean surely it's not everyone's personal style - I would never be able to pull it off - but that doesn't change that it's a very unique and amazing work of art!  That you get to wear!

Congrats on your dress w00t.gif!

Your dress is beyond gorgeous.  It has a very "Southern Royalty" feel to me.  I can't wait to see you in it!  Congratulations!

The detail on the dress is really stunning. I think with that dress, you'll be able to look back at your wedding pictures 50 years from now and it will still be classically beautiful, like Grace Kelly's dress is.

Its beautiful, I like that the top is a bolero and you can remove it if you want to and change the look, its like having 2 dresses!
