The Dress

This is THE dress!

Since I was able to know the different between pants and dresses I have always dreamed of my bridal dress. Looking at pictures of your mom or family members on their wedding day, if you are like me gave you goose bumps and a surge of excitement knowing one day it would be you in the pictures. A lot of fashions have come and gone since the creation of the wedding gown, different traditions, colors, shapes, adornments, costs
Here it is, my dress. It's official the company faxed me the receipt and it's ORDERED!
I've been searching like crazy since we were engaged in Sept. Online, at stores, nothing seemed to fit what I wanted. But then I came across this and though it was WAY out of my $ range. Luckily Affordable Bridal in Atlanta not only sells Winnie Couture dresses but they had this dress in from another bride that ordered a samply to try on. It was a little higher than we were projecting for my gown but 100% worth it!

I rushed up in time to try it on too and that was it. I felt like a bride. The other dresses were o.k. and I would have been fine with them but there'd always be a twinge of regret for not trying to get the dress of my dreams. I couldn't have asked for anything more

Also good news the veil comes with the dress so I am saving on that.
Winnie Couture Style 8261
Quite possibly the 2nd love of my life!


This is the Davids Bridal version it was cute
but it didn't have the "it" factor. I didn't like the beading and the snow flake look at the ends. It was very close to the winnie one.

I'm not sure if you are going to receive this comment, but I am pretty sure I am the bride that ordered that sample that you tried on too! I LOVE that gown! I am from Alabama and I ordered that gown and drove up there just to try it on. I ordered one right then and there, and I love it! My wedding is on August 16, 2008. I am very excited. I just wanted to say caongratulations! I was just searching the web hoping to find a picture of the gown on a bride (mine hasn't come in yet, and I forgot what it looked like on lol!)And they you were- simply stunning!

Oh I am so happy you were able to find it, and thank you a million times over for ordering it to try on! I had been ogling the dress online for some time and felt very lucky to hear that it was going to be in the store for a short period of time. I am picking my dress up next Tue. I can't wait!
