We both fell in LOVE with this Alfred Sung number found through the Dessy group (consequently one of THE coolest wedding fashion/acessories site I have ever seen.) Websites without prices do put the fear of God in me though...it was through locate a retailer that I found Needleman's to be an authorized vendor of this dress. A few voice mails later I come to realize that they only carry After Six, the cheaper little sister of Alfred Sung in our Burlington store, but have plenty of books and swatches for both labels. I would just hate us to have our heart set on something so lovely and flattering and it cost $400. The goal cost for dresses is $150 or less for the maids, but it must be said, this one is super chic, seriously a wear it again, and has this almost "mad men" feeling to it:
If anything, Dessy made me realize I do not know as much about fabrics as I assumed I had. One thing I do know for certain: No SILK MATTE. This is not a 1980's prom folks, it's a classy Vermont-Country-Romantic wedding.
I have so much more to write about color too. I could write a novel really. Pantone wedding? AWESOME!!! Any artsy fartsy bride or really any bride in that matter should be heavily invested in their wedding's colors. It says so much about your season, you as a couple, sets the mood...
According to Pantone, turns out maybe miss Fitzpatrick's idea of "Emerald" is really "Ivy" or "Shamrock." Shamrock is just so fitting (Shannon Marie Fitzpatrick...Irish much?) If colors could be legal or illegal, Pantone is the law, so if they say potAYto, you do not say poTAHto!
More soon!
Loooooooooooooove purple and green, no matter what you call them,
