My wedding day look

Picture
Dress: Alvina Valenta, from A L'Amour, Barrington
From a tip on the Chicago board, I heard about the sample sale at the end of May. It was my first visit EVER to a bridal salon and this was the first dress I EVER tried on... but I knew it was THE DRESS. It was exactly I wanted, not strapless, fitted, lace, pearls, and crystals...  I ended up with a ridiculous deal since it was a sample sale.

Please excuse the black strapless bra in the picture below... I know, I'm classy.

Bodice/Cap sleeves... Clearly needs to be altered, it's pretty baggy up there!

Love the back... and the buttons that go from the neck to the end of the train!

My Veil!
Veil: Symphony, from The Wedding Etc., Downers Grove

Earrings: Cristl- Silver pearl and crystal drop earrings, from A L'Amour

Shoes: Grace Elena- Diamond white, crystal accent, from A L'Amour
                                   Okay, my foot is not normally that veiny nor is my ankle that fat... at least I don't THINK it is! I keep telling myself it is the angle...
