My dress
My dress was a gorgeous sweetheart neckline dress with a fuller skirt. The detail was actually a belt which tied at the back. The dress was fastened with a zip (it had mock buttons) and was ivory. Fairly plain, but I adored it! It wasn't my first choice, when we went back to pay for my original chosen dress I saw this one on a mannequin in the window and was instantly drawn to it. Love at first try on!
It was absolutely filthy at the end of the day! It had a multitude of stains, including food dropped on me by Amber, food dropped on my by myself, mud and confetti stains.
A lot of brides get their dresses dry cleaned, but I think I'll leave mine. I quite like looking how well loved and worn it was, each mark provides a different memory. It has had a thorough drying out so it doesn't go mouldy (!) and is now hanging in our spare room. I'd really like to get a dress form to keep it looking pretty on!
I definitely won't be selling it, I want Amber to be able to see it and dress up in it when she's older, even include it in her own wedding somehow if she chooses.
My favourite compliment I had on the day was from Amber, whispering 'wow!' And kissing my dress! 😍
