I'm ordering my dress tomorrow!

[BellaDonna]

Well, that is as long as the shop is open! I think I might give them a ring before I head off into the chaos that is town at the moment.
The dress I have chosen has been given the seal of approval by my mum and my best friend, and I have waited about three weeks since I last tried it on, so I am convinced it is the right one for me, and won't change my mind after it is ordered.
I haven't got a picture of it, as the picture on-line is different, but I'll see if they allow me to try it on and get a photo once I have coughed up a 50% deposit - at least they should allow me a swatch of the material so I can match bridesmaids dresses, flowers etc, shouldn't they?

How exciting!!! Hopefully they should let you have a pic or a swatch to match up the other dreses. Especially if you've coughed up half the cost.

Ooohhh how exciting :ellie::ellie::ellie:

[Elle Driver]

ooh would love to see!
am going to be a regular over here now getting ideas and stalking every bride to be.
be scared, be very scared......:bwahaha: :teehee:

[Amethyst]

Very exciting :cheer2: :cheer2: .

[Gemiloch]

How exciting :grin: They might not have a swatch to give you tomorrow but they should offer to get one from the makers.

[BellaDonna]

Well, it's now ordered!
When I went back in the shop, the lady remembered me and said "I just knew you'd be back for that dress!"
She let my friend take several photos of me in it (it was way too small, but gives the general idea) and the swatch was the first one down in the drawer! I have to keep it well hidden so OH doesn't spot it!
But now I have to think of accessories to go with it, bridesmaids dresses, perhaps some long gloves and a wrap etc etc etc..... there's always something else to do!
I'll try and post a picture later, when OH is out of the way.... I might send him off to the pub!

[Gemiloch]

Definately send him to the pub BellaDonna :nod:

Glad you are still loving your dress :grin: What kind of bm dresses are you thinking of?

[BellaDonna]

Okay, hopefully this is me in my dress!

I'm thinking of doing the colours in reverse - so I'm wearing the wine red, and the bridesmaid and two flower girls (who will be aged nearly 8, nearly 5 and nearly 4) will be wearing gold / ivory. I've seen some dresses that I love in the same shop where I've ordered mine from, so I know they go well with my dress.

As for doing it in reverse, well, having had my daughter before getting married is in reverse (according to my strict Catholic upbringing!) so why not!
