That bow looks like it could shoot someone's eye out!

I agree. I love Dessy dresses though - definitely considering some of their less expensive designs for my bridesmaids

You look FABULOUS!! I'm surprised David's even has something that looks like that.

I am married to a member of the LDS church and his family is pretty big into temple weddings so I've been to a few though we had to hang out in the parking lot since I'm not LDS and he's not practicing. They do not wear wedding gowns or tuxedo's inside the temple. They wear their temple clothes and garments which are all white clothing that are specially made to be worn inside the temple. Once the "sealing" ceremony is finished, the couple goes to their changing rooms and change into their wedding gowns/tuxes.
These are few examples of what temple outfits look like.

Yup. I stared at those things when I actually got to see them in person and tried hard not to laugh because they look like the granny pj's my aunt Mary wears.

No use in wasting space on your camera for a dress we're not buying." (Yes, I was untraditional and brought the fiance, but he's my best shopping partner! Including trying on 2 dresses twice, we went through 11 dresses in an hour!) Here is a picture of the one I wanted this time around:
As you can see, it's a bit more traditional. PSA: if any brides are looking for something form-fitting, but traditional and figure flattering, I highly recommend trying on this dress at David's Bridal. It felt like a shrunken-down version of the dress I initially bought.

You look amazing in the second dress and congrats on your weight loss! I can really tell that you feel like yourself in the second one more than the first one and its definitely more unique!
My mermaid cut dress just came in on Tuesday and I love it but I would love to lose another 5 lbs around the hips so I can fit into it perfectly. I've been going to the gym 3x a week and I can definitely tell its paying off, you've definitely been an insipiration!

SthrnZeta I order Dessy dresses for my bridesmaids and the one I wanted was selling for $250 in bridal shops. It was definitely more than I wanted my girls to spend but I heard about netbride.com on theknot and I was able to order the same dress for $147 from them. I definitely recommend checking them out especially for Dessy dresses since they can run a bit high. I'm all for saving my girls some money where I can!

Yeah, I know they're a bit on the pricy side so I'm trying to find them something simple, under $200, that they can possibly wear again. I'm thinking a strapless knee-length satin dress in chocolate with a light pink sash around the waist and brown satin sandals or peep-toe shoes, little to no heel.
