My friend Lee from MySentimentExactLee has teamed up with Alfred Angelo to celebrate brides of all shapes and sizes. In order to do that, Lee connects women with their local Alfred Angelo store. Those women (me included!) go in, try on gowns, take pictures and then fill out a questionnaire. They are then highlighted on MySentimentExactLee.com and AlfredAngelo.com (where I am currently featured in spot number 6!).
It’s a really cool project and I was so honored to be able to participate! On the day of my appointment, I went in with a list of ideas. The stylist, Vanessa, was also the store manager and she had some great ideas of her own. I had a blast trying on dresses.
When I got married, I had a gorgeous hand-beaded (hand-me-down) corset top and I bought a really simple and inexpensive skirt to go with it.
So I never had the opportunity to try on gown after gown. I soaked in the experience.
And then I exchanged texts with my husband.
Here are a few of the bridal gowns I tried on (from my most favorite to least favorite).
I wish I had also tried on styles 2490 and 2459, but oh well!
Thanks again, to Lee and Alfred Angelo, for an incredibly fun experience!
You can see how I modeled Alfred Angelo dress #8535 and read my questionnaire at MySentimentExactLee.
So beautiful then and now! What a fun experience, I would love to do something like that. I was gifted my dress and got to choose from three… didn’t try many on so I would love an experience like this. 🙂
I think the first one looks pretty on you. Love all the lace details.
You look amazing and all those dresses are super fabulous! Makes me want to have a second wedding with my hubby so I could wear a gorgeous dress again!
You look beautiful in all of them! I especially love the second one 🙂 I’ve never had a real wedding this makes me want to take a trip down the aisle.
Those are all gorgeous, but I think I like the second one the best. Sooo pretty!!
You look beautiful in all of the dresses but the third one is my favorite. I’ll bet it was a lot of fun for you. You look so very happy.
What a fun experience! I missed out on this too and would love to go back and try on dress after dress for a day!
I also love the first dress on you! I teamed up with Lee and a few other bloggers for a local event and tried on dresses. It was SO much fun! I was in love with the Disney Ariel dress!
It would be AMAZING to have a local event like that here! I’ll talk to Lee and see what we can work up! 😉
How cool is that You look great!!
I never had a “Real wedding” so i didn’t have a wedding dress per-say, it was an old dress i never wore. This would be such a fun experience! The dresses look gorgeous on you, btw!
They’re just so gorgeous. I really like the pretty lace detailing on the dresses.
This is a great post and reflects the beauty of the program. Thank you so much for posting.
So pretty!!! My fave is the second one. But you look beautiful in all of them!
You look so beautiful! I love each dress that you featured. It is hard to settle for one favorite. 🙂
How fun! I like the 3rd dress on you, very regal. However, really liked your original wedding photo too 🙂
I was looking at the 2nd dress for myself!!! How did you think your “street size” compared to their sizing?
I think they were pretty close! The lady helping me was really great about figuring out the sizing, though.
