Here are the top looks that combining the earthy and ethereal all at once for a charming Chicago wedding. Rather than making a long distance drive to find a dress, I searched the dress online. I originally bought one but just knew right after that it was not it. After doing a lot more research online, I couldn’t stop looking at this one from formal dresses Australia. It was more dress than I ever thought I’d want, but something about it just had me, and I knew that I had to find it. So, the next day I loaded up my dogs (so I’d have company) and made the four-hour Saturday road-trip to see it. It was love at first sight, and thankfully, since I bought it from the same location as the original, they were able to exchange the order. I took home the floor sample that day and never looked back.
I originally looked on this hot pink formal dress for my dress knowing I wanted something beautiful without paying too much for something I was only going to be wearing a few hours. So, when I did end up finding mine in a retail location, I knew that someday I would want someone else to be able to enjoy the dress as much as I had without having to worry about the extra cost. I’m not going to lie, I love this dress so much that it is actually a little tough to sell it, but if I know another bride will have the most amazing day of her life in it, that makes passing it along very worthwhile.
If you don’t already have a gown and decide to customize rather than custom design, you’re going to have to go shopping. Many publications and websites refer to this phase as the ‘dress search’. Looking online or perusing magazines is usually the beginning. Once your search starts feeling two dimensional, like you want to actually see the reality version, you need to get out and physically look. I call this stepping into and feeling what its like to actually wear a gown, window shopping. You’ll need to try on several to find out what looks best. Whether you order your dress from a salon and customize it later or choose to have one custom made, there’s nothing like actually putting on ready made gowns, looking at yourself in a three-way mirror to evaluate what cut and line look best on your figure type. If you think about it, any gown ordered off a sample in a salon, is, in a sense, a custom gown. Think about it--You're going to add your own version of headpiece and/or veil. Add shoes, gloves, and other accessories and voila! you have a real custom look? Your gown though will be all the more customized. You probably already have a sense of ‘owning’ how you’re going to embellish it once you find it.
I love the top of this purple dress. Its perfect for me except the skirt is way off what’s ideal for my proportions. I do however like another version of skirt you offer on the gown. Is there some way I can exchange these pieces to get what I want? It’s a simple, high neck sheath that’s perfect for wearing under that purple organza dress you’re designing for me. The problem is, it’s a gorgeous two piece formal dress and the lightest color it comes in is tulle. I get this dress made in a less expensive fabric from the online website. You can view it here:
