We are so lucky!

Yes, we are so lucky and so are you and that's because we have another BRAND new wedding dress on spotlight this month. Our bride purchased the dress and then changed her mind on the theme of the wedding. (You know what they say; as a woman it's her right to change her mind!) And that's all okay, because now you can purchase this dress for hundreds less than what she paid and still be buying a brand new wedding dress.

The Style #1150 in Diamond white, size 6, strapless gown features lace with metallic accents, crystal beading and sequins over Taffeta. A layered A-line skirt and a chapel length train makes this wedding gown a must have. Includes optional modesty piece and net cap sleeves with matching lace and beading. See matching veil.

If you're getting married anytime soon, please take a minute to check out this lovely dress.

Something to think about:

People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.
