I wanna play! DNQ, please.
What did your dress look like? I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, lace and a key-hole back and the trumpet shape I guess it's what it's called. I found one with all that and that was it. Though the sleeves weren't planned I loved it.
Where is your dress now? Is it preserved or hidden in a closet or other? It's in the closet at my mother in laws. I keep meaning to have it cleaned a preserved but there it stays.
Do you have any special plans for it or have you done anything special with it since your wedding? I would love to do something special with it but I'm not sure what.
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked? I tried one on at David's bridal that was definitely a contender. When I came out of the dressing room a woman I didn't even know cried over it, which was weirdly sweet. But it was $1,100 and if I was spending that much on a dress it was definitely not coming from David's bridal.
Where is your dress now? Is it preserved or hidden in a closet or other? In my closet
Do you have any special plans for it or have you done anything special with it since your wedding? No just going to keep it around for sentimental reasons. Plus I'm kind of a hoarder.
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked? There weren't many contenders tried this dress on and I just knew it was meant for me.
I was going to say this too! The bustle is awesome.
I love the wedding threads so much. I love weddings and I even still read wedding magazines but oddly I had no desire to plan my own wedding or do anything big. We were planning a small 30-40 person brunch wedding ... and then ended up just eloping. We went into town hall to pick up our license and then just asked the town clerk to marry us then completely out of the blue. I was wearing a pink maxi dress from Forever 21 haha. We ate the deposit on our venue and just went on our merry way as eloped people. However, I cannot wait until my sister and my cousin are married. I am going to go nuts with that. Maybe I should have been a wedding planner.
I am late to this party, and I suck at uploading images on Tapatalk so apologies if this is huge!
I absolutely loved my dress and I didn't have a runner up...We actually bought this a few days after getting engaged because I was so sure. It's hanging in my closet at my parents right now, my cousin who got married last fall and I are planning on doing something fun with them before we get them boxed up. Maybe just a night in where we drink wine (white!) and enjoy them one more time :-)

It sounds like your sister and cousin are getting married to each other?
Please correct me lol
Ha! I felt like it read like that but my brain wasn't functioning on how to write it otherwise. No, I look forward to their very separate weddings whenever they may be. I will be way more into helping with their weddings than I was about mine.
Right now it's preserved and in my IL's attic. I have no idea what to do with it. It'll probably stay there for a long long time.
I LOVE your dress. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had a dress with color in it.
@led and SheilaTheTank these dresses were #1 and #2 on my list of dresses to choose from. I waffled from week to week which one I was going to choose until my MIL said she would make my dress.

These threads are my favorite!
Please DNQ.
***poof***
Currently it's sitting in the spare bedroom closet waiting to be cleaned. I was thinking about having a christening gown made out of it, but I'd really like to sell it and get my money back. No runners up (it was the first dress I tried on and I fell in love!) but I did change into this one around 10:00.

I love these posts, I could look at wedding dresses all day. There are so many beautiful brides on here with dresses to match!
What did your dress look like? It was lace with beading and a satin champagne colored underlay, fitted with lace straps and a low back. I know I've posted this pic before but it's my fave. PDNQ

Share a pic for BONUS!
Where is your dress now? Is it preserved or hidden in a closet or other? It's wrapped up in a garment bag in our office, it was in DH's car for about six months in the trunk, whoops. I should at least get it cleaned and hang it up.
Do you have any special plans for it or have you done anything special with it since your wedding? I wanted to donate it but MH is sort of sentimental about it and wants me to keep it. It's so beautiful I hate that it sits there and won't see the light of day again probably, unless I have a little girl who wants to play dress up or something!
Here's another pic:
*poof*
Or two *poof*
More BONUS for pics!
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked? I did. I only had one day to find a dress and went to one place, so it was go time. I loved one other but can't even remember it, it was more traditional, I think no lace maybe and a little fuller. I wish I could have tried on more bc I was a little self conscious in the end with how fitted it was and I didn't lose weight I hoped to, but it was gorgeous and totally fit me and the wedding in terms of style.

penguin129 this is genius!! Love gowns thank you!! Can't wait to see all of these stunning ladies!!
1 gown is preserved in a box I can interact with, the other is balled up in the corner of my guest room with every intention of taking it in (along with family heirloom christening gown) but life gets in the way. I would love (in my dream house after I win the lottery) to have gown 1 framed and hung in my dressing room - again fantasy land! Gown #2 I would love to figure out how to work it with family christening gown for a future potential LO, however that site from earlier is now a potential... My runner up was the Anne Barge Sloan gown which turned into a non event as the place I originally went to let me fall in love with discontinued gowns. Gown #1 PDQ *POOF* Gown #2 PDQ *POOF*

Where is your dress now? Cleaned, preserved/boxed, chillin' in a closet.
Do you have any special plans for it? I hope a future daughter/DIL will want to wear or use it. If not, I'll figure out someone to take it. Haha.
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked? I had only kindasorta liked another one that I tried on before the winner. There was no comparison after I put my dress on, though.
I couldn't narrow it down, so I'm posting a bunch. #dealwithit

I'll have to find a pic of my dress on my laptop when I get home.
Where is your dress now?: Hanging out in a box in my closet.
Do you have any special plans for it?: Not really. I'd love if a future daughter wanted to use it, but if not, that's ok.
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked?: Actually, I had no other real options. The original dress I had picked out was The One but since we were two years out, we were going to order it over my winter break later that year. But then H decided it was time to join the Army and after a long discussion, we decided to tie the knot before he went to basic. We had 5 weeks to plan our wedding. I needed to use a bridal store that would carry the same dress in NM as it did in MT and David's Bridal was the only store I could find that worked. I went online and found a dress that most closely matched what I wanted and it was being discontinued so it was only $99 and there was only one left in my size in NM. I tried it on for the first time a week ahead of the wedding and it fit perfectly; it just had to be hemmed up because I'm short. Basically, my wedding was the complete opposite of what I had dreamed of but everything went so smoothly. I wasn't even stressed once I found a dress. My FIL still comments that all weddings should be that easy and stress free.
Where is your dress now?: Hanging in the bag from the bridal shop in our coat closet. I never got it cleaned.. oops! One year anniversary is coming up. It's not too late, right?
Do you have any special plans for it?: Nope. I was going to loan it to my best friend to get married in, since her and her fiance had a tight budget, but the wedding's off now. Maybe someone else will want to wear it one day.
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked? No, it was the first one I tried on. I was an easy bride!
