Oh wow it is soooo pretty! You are going to look sooooo good! I think it is going to fit in so well with a fall wedding. The color compliments the season well. It is beautiful! I bought the second dress I tried on as well. I tried on so many others after it, but I knew it was the right one. Congratulations.:D

It is a very pretty dress. They always look better on you than on the model. That is because you don't stick your finger in a light socket to style your hair every morning and you ate something this month.

Heather your dress is stunning! LOVE IT! :D
I think the soft curls will be soooooo much nicer then the rats nest. Ugh the thought of rats nest hair gives me the shivers. Can you imagine trying to comb that out?!?! Ouch! :bbeek:

I don't get the messy hair thing myself. The models are so skinny then this have this head that is out of proportion to their body size which is made to look even larger with all that hair piled on top of it. They just remind me of a giant lollipop. Big round head with a little stick body.

Heather, that dress is beautiful! I can't wait to see real pictures with you in it! Sometimes you just don't get the full affect of a dress because the hair just drawls your attention away from it!

Mine was the opposite.....dad had the 75% and my mom had the 25%!!!
Hey Heather.....I bet it made your moms day, you buying the dress she picked out!!!

It really did make her day Cindy. I was so-so about the dress, until I saw the look on her face when I came out, and I knew that it was the one. I can't explain it, but it was just perfect. It was alot more than I wanted to spend, but I have waited along time for the perfect man, so I need the perect dress.

My mom did the same thing. I passed my dress up, but she picked it out and I tried it on and it was perfect!

It's so worth it when you see your mother crying over the dress.

I just can't wait to see Josh's face when I come down the isle. It's going to be awsome. My mother plans on taking a snap shot of the expression.

WOW!

Really, that's all I could say once the pic uploaded on my screen...WOOOOOOW!!!

That is really gorgeous Heather!

As for the Rat's nest...as far as that lady's hair went...I think it was more a bird's nest...didn't you see the feathers? :)

All the eighties fashions I've seen come back in style are making me shudder!

Isn't that the new "Emo" fashions that are coming in? I see all these young girls and boys wearing 80's tshirts and think to myself, do you even know that band or whatever it is on their shirts??? Lol

I :censored: at some girl at work the other day for wearing a Blondie tshirt. I asked her if she knew who Blonide was. Her response, "Some alt. rock singer." So I had to inform her that Blondie wasn't some alt. rock singer, THEY were a band who brough punk main stream and gave middle class America the first taste of the New York City rap scene too. Unaapreciative little monsters that I teach, I tell you!
