ooooh, faith, that dress is gorgeous! it does suit you, it's very classic and pretty. I don't think it's dated. I love your flowers too! perfect for the beach!

BB, that is a beautiful dress! I love the train! and your bridesmaid's gowns are pretty much the style I'd like mine to wear, a billion years from now when I finally do the deed, lol.

I don't think either of them look particularly dated. Both of those styles could be from anywhere between 1990-now, which is what, almost 20 years? I think they're styles that will be around for at least another 10 or more.

ETA - Corteo, I know what you mean about the hair. I think you have to go in with a picture and be really really firm about the look you want, lol. I love how the dress matches everyone else's - I really like little details like that. I like the bolero too! so cute!

BeachBarbie- That's gorgeous!!
CorteoGirl- I love your dress! I like how individual it looks with the red trim and bolero

Thanks! I didn't even realize how much shine the dress had until we got the pics back; that's when I really fell in love with it. I'm so glad we got married at dusk...I don't think the lighting would have been right earlier in the day.

Thanks, I looked at some trendier dresses...there was a knee length sparkly one and an ivory-fading-into-pink taffeta dress...but I'm glad I went with the simplier one. I don't think I would have liked the others as much over time.

i love my dress. it was the second one i tried on. it's definately not what i'd been planning on all my life, but i fell in love with it. i do have a tiara and a veil, but definately not the ones in the pictures. i hope my dress isn't dated, cuz lord knows when my real wedding will happen.
this is one of my bridesmaids in her dress.

OMG that dress is gorgeous! I love absolutely everything about it! You must feel like such a princess when you wear that.

I didn't like my hair, either. I had to do it myself. The back looked great but I had no idea how to use a curling iron and the side "curls" looked like poo. It's the only thing I don't like in the pictures.

I know! He picked the perfect flowers; they were so bright and colorful and they looked so perfect in the pictures.

I think that's a mistake people make when it comes to wedding dresses, they go for what's fashionable at that time and end up hating it in 10 years time.
That's what happened with my Mum. When her and my Dad got married she went for what was trendy at the time and now she doesn't even put wedding pictures around the house 'cos she hates looking at the dress, she thinks it looks really dated.

I love your dresses, ladies, they don't look dated at all !

I love looking @ wedding pics- I don't have a good picture of what my dress really looks like but here's a pic of me and hubby on our wedding day-4 yrs ago. It was the first dress I tried on (my mom and sisters actually picked it out) and I never ever would have picked it out but it was perfect for my body type!! I also lost 30lbs from the time I ordered it to my wedding and it had to be taken in 4 times!


I found a pic of it:
Moonlight Bridal - Romanticaly Elegant
Like I said, if I just saw this, I'd never go for it but it was really pretty and sparkly in person.

If I had the chance to do it all again, I think I would choose something totally different! I loved my wedding but just to have something different. My colors were light blue and silver-I would go something like black and pink or gunmetal grey.
