Isn’t she lovely? This beautiful gown is by Lyn Ashworth. Soooo romantic and girly…I just adore it. You can create two totally different looks for your wedding day by simply adding or removing the lace wrap. I love the loose hair with the flower accent too. SoOoOo pretty.
Sept 11-13, Jim Hjelm Bridal Trunk Show at Mon Amie Bridal. Call 714-546-3994 for appointments! I love both of these dresses…isn’t the back of the 2nd one gorgeous???
For some reason I have seen this dress a few times recently although it is a Fall 2006 dress…and I LOVE it! It is an Alvina Valenta dress (style AV9658). If you wore this dress on your wedding day, I would LoVe to see it! Its no wonder I love it, it is a division of JLM Couture and as you all know, my dress was a Tara Keely 
Is anyone else addicted to this show? OMG…even though my wedding has come and gone, I just LOVE this show! Which reminds me…I have two in the DVR queue to watch! Check out your local listings…it is on TLC.

Although they did wear out this this dress last season…not one of my favorites but I am a huge fan of Pnina Tornai. I think EVERY bride that stepped foot in Kleinfelds tried it on!
I tried on only two gowns before deciding on my dress. The first was an Alfred Angelo dress. I saw this dress in a magazine and thought it was really flattering. My mother and I were going to see “Wicked” while I was living in LA so to kill some time before the play, we stopped by Alfred Angelo. I tried on the dress I had seen in the magazine and although I thought it was pretty, it was just too plain. I also didnt want to buy the first dress I tried on but quickly found out I did not have much time to decide. I never knew that wedding dresses were made to order and took approx 4-6 months to arrive!!! We had already chosen our wedding date which was only 4 1/2 months away! Just a few days later I was thumbing through one of my bride magazines and saw the dress of my dreams. I actually showed it to Chris because I thought there was no chance I could afford it. He tooked one look and said, “that’s hot”…so I knew it was the one. I never told Chris but I found out that Here Comes the Bride was actually having a Tara Keely trunk show the following weekend! Can you say….meant to be??? I called and found out that the dress was more than my mom wanted to pay for a dress, but I knew if I could just try it on, she would fall in love too! And so the dress was mine! We did have to pay for a rush cut and it came in only two weeks before the wedding, but with a few alterations…it was perfect. I LOVED my dress Here are the pics of my trips to Alfred Angelo and then to Here Comes the Bride…
The first two are at Alfred Angelo and the next two are at Here Comes the Bride…
And the final dress after a few alterations. I also moved the ribbon to an empire waist and added a broach. I love my dress

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress! I originally thought that I would be changing out of my wedding dress and going bar hopping after my wedding reception…YA RIGHT! Once I had my wedding dress in my hands and it was finally a perfect fit…I would have worn that dress for days if I could have! So, I decided I HAD to have this dress for my rehearsal dinner! So imagine my disappointment when I clicked the checkout button and got a message that said “expected ship date is 05/31/08″…a month after my wedding! I was SOOOOO bummed. I tried getting this dress everyday in hopes that that message would somehow go away, but no such luck. So now I thought I would post this for any other lucky brides out there who are still on the e-pic/rehearsal dinner dress hunt. Only one problem…the expected ship date is now 07/21/08!!! Perfect for you Fall 2008 Brides! www.nordstrom.com
P.S. I just reminded my hubby that I STILL love this dress and if he wanted to REALLY surprise me, he would buy me this dress for an early…REALLY early christmas present…hint, hint, hint
