Here is my dress. It's in one of our spare bedroom closets in the bag, dirty, with the shoes I wore thrown in there. I would like to make a christening dress/outfit out of it is possible. I tried on some dresses before it and realized I needed ruching to hide my stomach. I realized after getting this one that it wasn't really sweetheart neckline like I wanted. I loved the corset back to make me look a lot skinnier than I was.

I love these GTKY threads. Although I am behind on my Randoms and drinking threads
What did your dress look like?
Where is your dress now? Is it preserved or hidden in a closet or other? It's in my closet. In a bag. I never got it cleaned.
Do you have any special plans for it or have you done anything special with it since your wedding? Someday when I lose a few lbs., I want to get it hemmed and dyed so I can wear it again.
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked? There was one and it was lacy with a flower. I felt like it was a great dress that I was "supposed" to pick. The three people I had with me when trying on all voted for the lace one. So I picked the party dress! It just made more sense!
I want to tag all of you! You are all so beautiful!
I know I am super late, but I wanted to share my dress! Where is your dress now?: In a box in our basement. We got married almost 4 years ago, but I didn't have it cleaned until about a year and a half ago.
Do you have any special plans for it?: My cousin told me that she wanted to wear my wedding dress when she got married. Granted, she's 18, so her tastes might change, but I would love it if she, or any other family member would wear it.
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked?: Nope. This was my one and only.

I do what i want. Late to this party but whatever my dress is worth sharing. Love it still. It's just in my closet, I wish o could fit into it because I'd wear it all the time. No special plan for it.
I wore a white sun dress to my wedding, haha. I don't have any good pictures of it, but this is pretty much it.
It's hanging in my closet, and I've actually worn it a few times since. I'm not the kind of person to fall 'in-love' with a dress, so I didn't really see the point in getting a dress I spend loads of money on and then couldn't wear again.
I love this! Gorgeous dresses, ladies. Sad about all the *poofs* I missed while I was out hiking yesterday!
Like pretty much everyone, my dress is hanging in a closet now. I knew it was the one because I cried when I put it on and so did my mom. It was just the two of us and the third dress I tried on, and it was a lovely moment. It didn't hurt that it was on sale at DB and only cost me a song!
Posting a picture of the back because it was my favorite part of my dress. I added the cap sleeves myself. Le sigh. I wish I could just wear this dress around the house sometimes...
My shoes were bright periwinkle blue - something blue and the color of my bridesmaids' dresses!

When I got married in 2008, my main requirement for a dress was for it to have a skirt with pick-ups. At the time I was obsessed with that style of wedding dress. When I found my dress, I had gone back to the shop to buy a different one and then saw my dress. My dress was actually 2 pieces, though it didn't look obviously like 2 pieces when it was on. The 2 pieces was perfect because without the weight of the skirt, I didn't find myself constantly having to pull up the strapless top. The back was corseted, the lace overlay on the bodice was silver and I wore silver shoes. I don't have a good pic of me in my dress so I found this random pic of the dress online.
My dress is currently in the bridal shop bag hanging in my guest room closet. I really would like to send it to a consignment shop but MH doesn't want me to. He's much more sentimental than I am.
What did your dress look like? It was a flowy, empire beaded waist dress. Long train and I had a french bustle added to pick it up.
Where is your dress now? Is it preserved or hidden in a closet or other? On the shuttle back to our hotel I spilled red wine all down the front of my dress lol! So it's in the basement in our wedding tote.
Do you have any special plans for it or have you done anything special with it since your wedding? I want to put DD in it and take a picture of her in it as a little girl... I got the idea from Pinterest. Wine stain not shown of course haha
Did you have any runners up to the dress you picked? Yeah there was this really blinged out dress the group that I brought just loved. I did too but the dress I choose was just "the one".
