I just bought my dress!

I know, I know... I said I wanted a dress I could wear again. I said I wanted something handmade, "indie," or natural. I said I didn't want white, cream, ivory, or pearl. (I was a member of the Offbeat Bride Anti-White Dress group, afterall.)

But, here she is... in all her cream-colored, lacy, semi-traditional weddingy glory.

The Front


The Big Ass Bow


I have no explanation for it. Something about a Vermont B&B elopement and a brunch-style wedding just gave me the desire for frills. Plus, we're paying quite a bit for the photography, so I figured I might as well step it up a little.

It's a Betsey Johnson, and I just bought it on eBay for roughly half of its retail price. (Not that it's available anywhere else anymore, I just like to think I got a good deal.) I am a little wary of buying online, and I'm only about 80% sure it will fit... but, here's hoping.

It's so beautiful!!! I bet the photos are going to be amazing.

My dress was black. Yep. Nothing beautiful about it. It was cute, but totally not photo worthy.

I love it... <3 It looks like something that I would totally wear. Not so sure about the bow (I'm not big on bows), but it's so beautiful. :)
