I put a deposit down on my wedding dress a few days ago, and have ended up with something COMPLETELY different to the dress I almost bought!!
I almost bought this Mark Lesley Ivory gown:
But TOTALLY fell in love with this gorgeous pale gold and bronze dress in a shop in Cheltenham (the dress isn't blue btw - that is the light coming in from the window):
Here is a close up of the bead work - the dress maker took the embroidery off an antique ballgown from the 1800's:
I really surprised myself when I fell for this gown because it is quite unusual but but I love it!!!! The dressmaker designs all of the gowns herself and adds vintage / antique pieces from other gowns to her dresses - amazing!
It has totally buggered up the silver bit of my colour scheme but the blue bridesmaids dresses still look great with bronze coloured kitten heels - yay! This also means I have to completely re-design all of my wedding stationery because I had already done it in greys and blues and ask my florist for a new quote!
I never, ever thought I would get married in gold - and also never thought I would be going down the vintage route!
Anyone else ended up with something completely different?
