My fiance (it's strange calling him that, but I'm getting used to it) has already said he's going to 'let me' take point on this. I suppose since wedding and event planning is what I intend to go into business for it sort of makes sense!Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210566147760537113.post-30962054390219545462011-04-26T17:07:01.513+02:002011-04-26T17:07:01.513+02:00Hehee, you are so cute!

Heheh.<br /><br />Btw, I did a trash the dress about a year ago, if you want to see more of my dress. It's on my photography blog:http://katforsythphotography.co.za/cape-town-johannesburg-wedding-photographer/the-other-side-of-the-camera-my-trash-the-dress-photo-shoot/ (PS - I had totally picked up weight, so when I jumped off the hay bale, I split the zipper away from the dress...oops :P)Read and Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775194306528039139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210566147760537113.post-16889018138678645672011-04-26T00:00:58.994+02:002011-04-26T00:00:58.994+02:00Thanks Ruby!

Secret squirreling away little tid-bits and hiding your blog in my cleverly labeled 'research' links file. ;)<br /><br />I fell in love with your dress 2 years ago, when my now fiance and I were just friends. I wanted to ask so long ago but always dreaded seeming that creepy pre-planning girl who planned their wedding before the wedding before the guy even asked. <br /><br />I'll keep you posted, promise!Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210566147760537113.post-42959284571206420802011-04-25T16:24:41.653+02:002011-04-25T16:24:41.653+02:00Hi Liz, I wanted to email you back but your commen...Hi Liz, I wanted to email you back but your comment didn't show any contact details, so I hope you see this! Firstly, thanks for reading my old blog from so long ago! That's awesome. Unfortunately Bride & co doesn't make that dress anymore. I know this because two weeks ago I went dress-hunting with a friend who is getting married, and while she was trying on stuff I went through their catalogues to see. But if you live in the states you have to be able to find a similar dress! You must! There is such a huge variety of stuff there! I got jealous everytime I saw an American bride talk about dress-hunting while I was engaged! Anyway, best of luck, and if you find something, let me know! I'd love to see!Read and Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775194306528039139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210566147760537113.post-6325396324273125222011-04-24T07:48:00.795+02:002011-04-24T07:48:00.795+02:00I saw your dress and fell in love!

Having just recently become engaged I've begun my researching and looking into things. I searched through Bride&Co and couldn't find your dress:( Do you by chance still know the #? Living in the states it's unlikely that I'll get that same dress, but maybe I can find a similar one!<br /><3<br />LizLiznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210566147760537113.post-14853832117417846492009-01-08T13:49:00.000+02:002009-01-08T13:49:00.000+02:00I was wondering when you were going to find this p...I was wondering when you were going to find this post :-) So I guess what we've both just proved is that we're always going to be second-guessing ourselves over our choices. I'm going, "Why on earth would you want to wear something like mine when you had a stunning designer gown?" (not that I care about design labels; I just love your dress!). And you're thinking you should have gone for something more - traditional?<BR/><BR/>I could never have trusted a sketch. The final product never looks like the sketch, and I know I would just have been disappointed. That, and you can't tell if it will look good on you. Your Packham might not have suited me at all!<BR/><BR/>I don't think I could ever do a Monica Geller and wear my dress around the house! We could, however, swop for our trash the dress shoots :-)Read and Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775194306528039139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210566147760537113.post-32876204214605427112009-01-08T13:04:00.000+02:002009-01-08T13:04:00.000+02:00Hey Ruby!

I completely agree with you on the extremely limited choices we have here, it's frustrating. My next-best bet would've been to have one made but I'm not visual enough to trust a sketch. Maybe there's a business idea in this situation?!?! You looked gorgeous in your princess dress and I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have gone for something more like yours, cause you only do this thing once right? Wanna swap and we can wear each other's around the house? ;-)Modelmentalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052660513255055996noreply@blogger.com
