[Hunter's Mom]

I have been helping some friends get ready for their upcoming weddings and so I have been looking at a lot of wedding dresses. I LOVED my wedding dress but if I could get married again today, I might go with a different style because I LOVE this dress.....

So, if you could do it again with another dress - what might you pick?:wub:

 

[Johita]

ooooh, that is a beautiful dress. Very classy yet not too flashy love it!

 

[Matilda's mommy]

Erin you would look stunning in that dress. I love how feminine the dress is

 

[jodublin]

Beautiful.

 

[wolfieinthehouse]

I am kind of liking this one if I got one now.

:HistericalSmiley::HistericalSmiley: :HistericalSmiley::HistericalSmiley:what do you think ? I got married in 1965 !!
Of course today I would choose a completely different dress. The styles are different today and I have more money :HistericalSmiley:the only thing is I cannot fit anymore in the ones I really like :HistericalSmiley:

Erin I got married in a Maggie Sottero gown and I still love her style today.....her signature laced up back and crystals, just gorgeous. The only thing I would do different today.....I would carry Sassy instead of a bouquet. We didn't have Sassy back then.

I too got married in one of her gowns and I still love it of course, but it was more of a ballgown so if I did it again I would try this more A-line style. I think Sassy would be a beautiful addition to any Maggie dress :wub:

That is pretty.

You can call me practical, unromantic, or just an old fart, but I cannot justify spending thousands on a dress. I watch TLC's "Say Yes To The Dress" and they all look pretty much the same. What ever happened to the dress that had sleeves and a complete top? Today they are pretty much all bare shouldered, and some with a Merry Widow bodice (see through). It doesn't matter if you get married in a 30k dress or a pair of Levi jeans. Your still very married, and will have the precious memories years later. Not much help huh Erin? :mellow:

A Chanel suit.

The gown is gorgeous, though.

This was my dress when I got married 2.5 years ago. Casa Blanca Bridal :: Collections I loved it but wanted a bit more of an A-line look to it so I wore a slip underneath that gave it a little more fullness in the skirt.

This is one of my wedding pictures. The online album isn't the best quality but I loved the dress. Although a lot of that is because the seamstress who altered it did a wonderful job--it was strapless but fit perfectly and I never felt worried or had to adjust it all day.

[EmmasMommy]

Although if I was young and thin ( as I once was) I would love one of the fabulous gowns that are all so beautiful these days. But if I renew my vows in the future I would just pick something comfy but pink & pretty and sew some matching dresses for my Maltese bridal party.
I would have Emma as my Maid of Honor and Mimi and Jilli as Bridesmaids and Twinkle as a Flower girl. They would steal the show don't ya think?

What a great thread idea!!!

Well...I'm not married yet, but, like most girls in their early twenties, I've glanced around a time or two :innocent:

These are my top three dress choices at the moment. They're all by Demetrios. If you can't tell, I tend to like strapless dresses with a tighter top/corset area and then a flowing bottom. I like mermaid bottoms, too. I have little to no natural curve, so these dresses make it look like I ALMOST do..LOL

Not a huge fan of anything too elaborate or the GIGANTIC trains or over the top poofy bottoms. There's a limit to the princessy-ness I want.

I'm sure I'd enjoy picking out a pretty dress for a wedding... B)


but.....if it were TODAY....I'd be wearing a straight jacket kicking and screaming all the way down the isle saying "NO!!!!!" :smilie_tischkante: ...some days are not good to be thinking about that stuff.

I think I'd rather be buying a mother-of-the-bride dress at this point.

My mom made my gown when I was married in 1972, I thought it was beautiful. Of course I'd probably want a different style now.

 

[LJSquishy]

Erin, if I could get remarried I would probably pick that EXACT dress (assuming it would flatter my figure). I got married 4 years ago this May, and at the time I was all about doing things as inexpensively as possible. My dress was about $300 after alterations and I hated it. I pretended I loved it (the only thing I loved about it was the $99 clearance David's Bridal price tag!) so every one thought I was happy, but really the price is the only thing that helped me narrow my dress selection down. It wasn't a bad dress really, just not at all what I wanted.

We also "saved" money by having my husband's uncle who was a "professional" photographer take our wedding photos, and they were all horrible. So horrible that I could literally take pictures 100x better than this guy. It didn't cost us a penny, and I still cry about it. We have no wedding photos. So...if you can give advice to your friend, tell her that PHOTOS is one of the most important things to budget for.

If I had another chance, this is what I would wear for my wedding......Love it!!

[Nikki's Mom]

Ha, funny question! When I got married in January 1999, (we'd both been married before) we had a very small wedding at a tiny stone church and the reception at a small French Bistro. I really wanted to wear jeans, but my step daughter got mad at me, so I wore a purple velvet dress. (I love purple shades)

If I had to do it again and had unlimited funds I'd choose something in very pale pink or lavender in a bohemian/romantic style, but not too fussy, flashy, or showing too much skin. I really don't know if that type of even dress exists or I'd have to have it custom made. I have eclectic taste in clothes and decor, and it's hard for me to find clothes that I really love as I have neither the budget nor the figure anymore, so I usually go with simple clothing, but inside I'm the type of person that would love to wear some funky bohemian pretty clothes.
