Do you think we should have a dress flash?

The Sock Chicken, 16 September, 2009 at 12:30 Posted on Planning 0 74

It's been so long since we last had one, and we do have loads of newbies, and I think I may have missed a few wedding photos later. Also Moya gets her dress soon, and I go to get mine in a couple of weeks.

What do you think?

    Autumn Rose

    What colour are you swayed towards?

    My dress comes in Ivory/Honey/Metallic Lace which is in the pic i posted

    Honey and Metallic Lace

    Ivory and Metallic lace - which is what ive gone for in the end i did want the Ivory/Honey/Metallic Lace but as my CB pointed out i would have to be carefull with bridesmaid dress colours as to complement they would need to be dusky colours not my intended Hot Pink!!! She had a point when we compared colours and it may be something to go back and have a look at i took a swatch of fabric with me ....

    Oooo Liverbird - the back of your dress is really pretty and unusual, not seen one like that before

    I'm going to show the model shot of mine now, will post me in the sample tonight and then the real deal in a couple of weeks!

    Well tthis is exactly why i'm worried about the colour. I'm having dusky pink but some pinks just don't look right with the honey colour and it will be much harder when getting BM dresses......I do like the Honey and apparently it suits my skin tone but i'm just not 100%. I do like the ivory he does.....i forget the name of the colour in the pic of mine but i do like it. Won't really go with my vintage feel though and i think i prefer the other 2 to that... So hard!!! I'm going back in a few weeks to show it to my mum and BCM and i'm going to order at that point too so i'm hoping they'll help me decide!! Yours will look gorgeous in those colours!!!

    It's Ellis Bridals style 11032

    Following on from the colour discussion - I tried my dress in pale gold and the first time I flashed on here everyone commented on how the colour suited me. So now I am a little worried about the ivory washing me out!!

    Autumn Rose taking your mum and BCM should help also taking a few colour swatches to match will be good, Its a pain as the sample i tried on was not the Ivory with Metallic Lace so really hard to judge however i was lucky the shop had someones order in all Ivory and metallic lace i could have alook at and compare colours too so if the sample is different to the colour you want may be worth asking.....

    Plus when you order ive asked for a larger swatch of the fabric and also the lace so i can match stuff too.

    Can't do a flash yet as my bodice had to get sent back for a minor alteration on Saturday! Very disappointing, but it'll be back in on Friday and I've got an appointment this Saturday morning to try it on again. Hopefully then I'll be able to take it home and do a proper flash!

    Loving everyone's dresses, they're all gorgeous, almost makes me wish I'd done the proper dress shopping thing!
