Getting married in 14 days and just bought a new dress! - UPDATED - now Keeping the orgininal!

Country Flower, 28 May, 2012 at 10:09 Posted on Planning 0 15

As the title says I get married in 14 days and have just bought a new dress - I've been having doubts about my dress for ages but just kept thinking that once all the alterations were done it would be fine - but thats all it was - just fine - I didn't get that princess feeling. So on Saturday I was in town with my BM and I said shall we just go and have a look at what alternatives there are...10 minutes later I was stood in the bridal shop and BM was on the phone to my mom telling her to get there as I had something to show her...The dress is almost the same as my first one but perfect...I'll put a flash up when I have one. My Issue now is that I've based everything for the wedding on my original white dress - this one is pale ivory - Do you think it will matter - just things like the sash on the FG dresses and they have white shoes, I've also got a white cake and white place cards...do you think that this will matter or people won't really notice?

    Conveniently located by the shores of the Andaman Sea, Phuket offers a variety of locations for every kind of wedding ceremony possible. You can choose to tie the knot in a romantic seaside wedding along the island's clear blue waters, by the beaches of Kata, Karon, Kamala, Bangtao, or Patong; or you can have a solemn ceremony by the lake at the Laguna Phuket. You may also opt to rent your own private island or host your reception in one of Phuket's acclaimed five-star hotels for that extra touch of luxury.

    No one will notice, honestly - ivory and white are that close in colour anyway that I think only someone anal enough to be examining everything would actually notice. Smiley smile - Looking forward to the flash

    Don't worry I have a pale Ivory dress and have Ivory and white going on, came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter!

    I'm pretty sure no one will notice. My dress is a champagne-ivory type colour, all the linens and invitations and everything are white. No one will notice and if they do then they're mad. As Ed Byrne says its hardly going to be a case of 'her shoes don't match his tie, f*** it i'm off!'

    That made me laugh!!

    Sorry, but this post was in vain! I am now wearing the original dress! I was just about to meet my mum to go and pay for the second one yesterday afternoon and my MIL persuaded me to pick up my original dress from the seamstress and try it on for her - she said I must have chosen it for a reason and she trusted my judgment (which I thought was nice) So I put on the dress in her front room with my mum (I had only tried it on in the seamstress workshop amidst rolls of fabric and I never really had the room to spread it all out. My main concern was not the style of the dress but that the alterations it had, made it look at bit bodged (In my mind) Anyway - dress on my mum called MIL in to the room who said it was beautiful and burst in to tears - she siad I would never get another dress that suited me so well blah blah blah - outcome - I'm keeping the original


    I've had a sweetheart neckline put in - you can't see the back on this and all the ones of me in it are on my BM Phone but the back is lovely with lots of detail and a long train.

    It's taken a few months but finally fallen back in love with my dress! As my mum said to me last night I'd never hang myself as I wouldn't be able to decide which rope to use!!

    So very sorry hitchers for wasting your time - but one happy bride again x
