Re: Wedding dress...
I don't love a lot of the full-length pics of me in my dress. Here's an almost-full length of me and my dad
"Beautiful" is relative... but here goes:
The Front:

The Back:

The Detail:

The Whole Package:

Ugh...

I really loved my dress, so I have lots of pictures!
MB--Is the "ugh" over the dress or the pictures? (I remember you saying you weren't fond of your wedding pictures).
I do have to say that "our" dress does have the photographic problem of the detail being difficult to capture. It's much prettier in person than in pictures. Pictures (good or bad) don't do that dress justice.
Haha I was going to message you about "our" dress as well!
The "ugh" is over me in the dress more than anything else. You, on the other hand, look FANTASTIC in it!

Why, thank you!
You make me blush!
I was going to say that I thought you looked better in it! I feel like I have a giant boob shelf going on. There are a few pictures with my ring bearer and flower girl where it looks like my almighty bosom is going to swoop down and eat them. Plus I REALLY loved the wine color. It was a hard decision for me to make between the wine and the white.
And I was going to say the white on white looked so much more classier than my wine detail!

The grass is always greener, y'know?
And speaking of wedding dresses, am I the only one who HASN'T had their dress preserved yet? I want to go try it on, but I'm afraid I've gained too much weight, it won't fit, and then I'll be depressed for a week.
My dress was probably my second favorite non-marrying-my-love thing about my wedding. (The first being, of course, my cake stand.)
Neckline (and crappy DIY bouquet):

I loved my dress so I have tons of pictures.
| cute shoes make me happy |
Probably the best long view of the dress...my photographer sucked. I was "pondering" taking him as my husband...hee hee.
the back:
the front:
I didn't take a lot of pictures by myself in my dress so there are a couple detail shots and some that I think the dress just looks excellent.
I think the best part of my dress is all the beading that was hand sewn by the woman who made my dress.
I was super shiny, loved it!
Best whole dress view and really shows the train and ruching.
Don't mind the beer... this one shows the detail pretty good.. lol
Back Detail
I haven't cleaned mine yet either! It's been sitting on the guest bed since 9.27.09.. lol Good thing we don't have a lot of guests.
I absolutely loved my dress too and I have a million pics....

You ladies look so amazing! It's going to be hard to choose!
Love, loved, loved my custom Augusta Jones!

I loved my dress too, especially considering the price and where i got it.
My Favorite part of the dress

This picture just makes me laugh so I want to throw this one in here:
My veil is kind of in the way but here's the back of the dress:
Disclaimer: My photographer also sucked. But I loved loved loved my dress. Only one I tried on, length was perfect, it was exactly what I envisioned. It was me.

Detailing (which looks very uneven now!):
