My dress is a Romona Keveza from her Legends Collection. I brought my shoes (Cynthia Rowley's Trilogy), my veil (from Rose's Bridal) and my earrings that I'll be wearing to get the feeling of the whole look. So without further ado -- here are the photos from the first fitting session.
My dress hanging (it's a top and a skirt)
The front of the dress with the shoes, veil and earrings
The back of the dress (with my fitter Melissa in the shot). This is my favorite shot because you get the back with the veil, and the front and side in both mirrors.
Close up of the back. I had the buttons arrive separately because they were heavy enough to pull the zipper cover (not sure if this has a name) open so you could see the zipper. I didn't want that, so we decided to have them put the buttons back on, as it's a nice detail, on the other side to obscure the zipper. No one will know but me, the seamstress and now all of you! In the picture there are a few pinned so you can see what it will look like.
And for those of you who are interested, here are pictures of the earrings and shoes:
The earrings were a college graduation gift from my grandmother (who passed away a week before my graduation) and the shoes are Cynthia Rowley Trilogy from www.zappos.com. Note the signature blue soles. So my earrings and my shoes are my "something blue."
So, what do you think ladies? Anyone else a short dress bride? If so was it your first or second wedding? I know the short trend is very popular among subsequent marriages, but I wasn't sure about a first (and last) time bride like me!
