Dresses I like

I'm getting married this year. I have no idea where, and I'm not sure of the date since we keep going back and forth with our plans. I was going to have a small wedding in my new hometown in the fall, but now I am leaning more towards tying the knot in Las Vegas. I just don't feel like it makes sense to spend a whole bunch of money on a wedding and reception in this lousy economy. Vegas will be significantly less expensive, and I'll still be able to wear a pretty dress.

I've been keeping an eye out for dresses, but I can't buy anything until we decide on a venue. Plus, I need to lose some weight. I am leaning towards a sheath or an A-line dress in ivory. Anything more is really going to depend on where we get married. The designers I like the most are Maggie Sottero and Casablanca. They have a variety of price points and styles, and the destination dresses are very affordable.

Here are some that caught my eye:




Ines Di Santo Rohmy- Expensive and gorgeous. This is my dream dress.




Casablanca 1827. This is a very pretty dress and one of the first that I considered.




Maggie Sottero Gillian: Simple and pretty. It's fitted, but has some flare at the bottom.



Maggie Sottero Mandy (Destination) Maggie Sottero Jessica



Maggie Sottero Viera: I don't love that color sash, but this dress is very pretty. There are other colors available.




Maggie Sottero Kiri: This is a gorgeous dress, but I am not crazy about the spaghetti straps.



Maggie Sottero Phillipa: A gorgeous trumpet style sheath dress. Definitely not for the bootylicious.

I'm going to try start trying dresses on in the next few weeks and hope to make some progress with my plans by May. The whole process has been more stressful and involved than I ever expected. Sigh. I need a fairy Godmother with deep pockets and plenty of free time.
