So I thought that we could create a post where people can talk about what I believe is the most exciting part of the day which is the dress!! If you want to add the designer and style number of your dress, ask advice, post pictures, anything!! I went dress shopping for the first time a couple of weekends ago and had a great first experience. I found a potential one but want to take my time to shop around and not make a decision to quickly. I posted pictures of a few of the dresses on a weddingbee forum so if anyone wants to see, here is the link.

    All that matters is that you are comfortable and loving your dress!! I just had three designers that I really wanted to try. The first store was Maggie Sottero gowns, the second store was Allure gowns and now i want to go to the third store to try on Mori Lee gowns.. once I know i've tried on those 3 designers, i feel like i'll be more ready to say yes to a dress for good :)

    I've falled in love with this dress by Elie Saab:

    Only problem. It's over £6000! TOOO much, but I'm thinking of getting one similar made. I have a friend who owns a wedding boutique and makes them to order...

    The last dress is my favourite one too :) I think the lace one was beautiful too :)

    I've already bought mine, and posted a picture on the wedding thread Kath made, but I like to look at it so here it is again, haha.

    Haha I meant "fallen" obviously. Yes, sooo pretty but silly price. I'm going to either get one made or look for something similar I think.

    The lace one was really pretty. Actually what happened was that the girl at the salon asked me to be a model in a wedding show and I agreed. Once i said yes she just started putting on different dresses on me to see what would look good. The lace is just not at all me and does not really fit the wedding vision!! Still looking before I say yes though!!

    I can't see the picture your trying to post but it may just be me :)

    I uploaded mine onto tinypic.com, the 1st time I did it I used imageshack but that's when it didn't work :/ Then copied the direct link onto here with the code..

    so it would be [ img ] *link* [ /img ]

    only take out all spaces xx

    I'm getting married in April and I haven't even looked. My budget is so small that its a little disheartening.
