Brindee Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 My dress goes along with the same style of the late 80's, early 90's! My wedding was in March of 1988. The first pic is of my dad and I at the door before we walked down the aisle. The second is of my soon-to-be dh and I lighting the Unity Candle. See my waist? Yes, I had one then! :001_smile: At that time it was about 23 inches! Now it's NOT 23, not even close! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readwithem Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm much taller than my mom, so we had to add rows of lace to the bottom. I'll try to post a picture later. How cool that you got married on your parents' anniversary! :) We got married on 6/20 but in 1987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 We got married in shorts at City Hall in Philly on moving day! We had to have a civil wedding in order to get married in a church in Caracas. We had so much stuff to do between dh's MBA graduation and getting our stuff into storage before we had to catch a plane that we just didn't have the gumption to get dressed up. We didn't take any pictures of this fiasco, although we did get ten copies of the marriage certificate with raised seal. The tricky thing is remembering the date of our "anniversary" when you fill out forms because it's a couple weeks before the one we actually celebrate.

Colleen Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 This is a really lovely spot, a chateau overlooking the city and lake. Late January, with the Alps in the distance. Looking for a dress that worked with my five-months-pregnant body, I fell in love with this Donna Karan dress at a shop in Vancouver. I still like it very much. The guy is nice, too.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffinmom Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 So it's taken me 3 days to figure out how to scan my pics and get them on here. OK...I actually made dh do it for me, but we've had some trouble. Here they are. When I look at these, all I can think is, "My, how I've aged!" But after almost 20 years, a girl has a right to age, don't you think? Edit: These are so small--how did ya'll get yours to show up bigger? But if you click on them, you can see a bigger size. Sigh. I wish I knew how to do photos. Oh...and how could I forget--my mom made my dress. I found a picture in a magazine and she copied it. She's amazing that way.

lynn Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Someday I'll dig up my wedding photos and scan and post but to much to do today. I found my dress all lace with an open back on the clearance rack at JCPenny it was a try on sample and I only paid $75 for it it was to big but the seamstress at JCPenny's took the whole thing apart andmade it fit perfectly for me and did not charge me a cent. I was really suprised. It was about 2 sizes to big she spent about 20min pinning and she made it fit me perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMamaBird Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I can't believe it will be 10 years in May already!! I am very fashion UN conscious, but I loved my dress. It was very simple with a little beading. I paid around $600 for the dress, crinoline and veil together. Since my favorite flowers are white tulips and lilac, that's what I chose for my bouquet. Simple and pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardening momma Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Wow. I read through 18 pages to get to the end before I posted my pic. I also wanted to see who resurrected the thread (it started in March 2008). It was a spam post that resurrected it! :lol: July 2001. I think my dress was $300. I made my veil--in hindsight it was pretty big, but I did make it so the long section detached so I could wear a short veil (down to my waist) at the reception. My bouquet was soooo heavy! I chose all the flowers for it, but I had no idea it would turn out so big. The florist recommended 6 of each type of flower I wanted, and that sounded good to me. There were roses, tulips, alstromeria & daisies. This dress was exactly what I wanted, except I would have preferred cap sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 My DH doesn't want me posting identifiable photos on the 'net so you'll have to forgive the weird cropping ;) I was very pleased to find a dress I loved for $450 (this was 1998). The only snag I ran into is I allowed the lady at the shop to "eyeball" the size rather than measuring me. It was 1 size larger than what I normally wore, so I thought it would be fine. I was in a bit of a panic when the order came in and I couldn't zip up the back. I didn't have enough time to re-order the correct size so I had to ramp up the exercise and starve myself to lose 10 lbs quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is me. And the dress is my mom's wedding gown. I married Frank. But okay, that was a costume contest, and yes I won first place. LOL... here's my real wedding gown, but this pic is a bad pic and I can't scan the better pics... so it will have to do. Mine was all lacey in the front, but with beautiful, billowing folds in the back. What do you call that, when it's down in a train and then it poufs up and attaches... anyhow, whatever that was, it was so cool on this dress. Just a bit better than the dress I borrowed from my mom :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katemary63 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 My Dad's wife made my dress. The materials were $200. That was in 1984. It didn't really fit that well at the neckline.

I never got to wear my dress - LOOOONG story. I ended up getting married about 6 years after originally planned, wearing a skirt and blouse, by a judge. I hate that, too, because my dress cost me about $600. It's still in the garment bag, hanging up in my room. I don't know what to do with it. It was never worn or altered. I bought it in 1999, so I'm sure it's way out-of-style and no one would want it now. Well, maybe in 20 or 30 years when everything comes back in style. :tongue_smilie: Here is a scan of an ad that I found in a store catalog 10 years ago...
