Wedding Dress - Here is my dress!! Yay! - MARLAANN2010's Black Wedding by Color Blog

So it finally came in and have already had my first fitting a couple of weeks back with one more to go which is 2 weeks time. I was actually pretty nervous as I have heard so many brides go for their first fitting and not love the dress as they the first time they tried it on. I can totally see how that can happen and it must feel so disheartening but when I saw it and tried it on I couldn't believe how happy I was with my dress. Can't wait to get it!!

I also attached a pic of how I will have my hair. We didn't do a trial just a consultation and it seems that a half up do will work best. We will have soft curls and I have purchased some hair clips from the white aisle which I will put in my hair as well to finish off the look :-)

WOW!!!! You look BEAUTIFUL!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

LOVE your dress and it looks amazing on you!! Nice earrings too by the way, I have those exact ones for my wedding day :)

beautiful dress!!!

That is a gorgeous dress! Beautiful choice!

thanks ladies! yes that is a Jim Hjelm 8962....it definitely broke the bank but i love it so much!!

You look amazing!!! I'm so excited to get mine now!! Have you given any thought to what shoes you're going to wear? Cant wait to see the veil too.. I'm going to ask them about that one when I go in!!!

thks!! wish had done my hair for the sizing but maybe when we head to t.o next week I will.
I ended up buying these shoes: http://www.zappos.com/rsvp-lola-ivory-satin
I thought when I had bought them they went with the sash (from memory) but not so much but it's ok.
As for the veil you will love it! especially with the swarovski crystals it is so pretty!

I absolutely love that dress !! Looks amazing on you. I'm also looking to get a Jim Hjelm dress .. can't wait to try them on ...
I was just wondering if you could give me a ball park price range that you spent on the dress?? .. Also.. What store did you get it from ? .. I live in the GTA and the only store I know that carries Jim Hjelm is L&J Bridal!!! Please let me know asap! Thanks

Sure not a problem. If I remember correctly the SRP was about 5800 which didn't include alterations ~400/each (I had 2 fittings) and the veil which was 650. I am in Ottawa but drove down to Brampton to L&J which seem to be the only distributor of Jim Hjelm in Canada.....good luck an let me know if there are any other questions!

Thanks for responding :)

I have already made my appointment at L&J for July 30th! .. I also found it strange that they are the only ones that carry JH dresses in the GTA. I am a bit nervous that they wont have all of the JH dresses i want to try on. Did you try on any other ruffled dresses there ??? .. Im so excited, I cant wait! .. About the price .. I was figuring it would be that much.. steep, but soooo worth it!

Thanks again for sharing! Looking forward to hearing back from you :)

well I bought mine back in october/november time frame so there may be different dresses available. They do have a number of lace ones i tried which were beautiful but couldnt pull off......good luck!!!

skaduk - I also bought this dress from L&J and they had a whole bunch of the Jim Hjelm (And Lazarro) fuffled dresses there! I was in heaven with all of the ruffles!

Marla - I go for my first fitting Aug 10th! YAY!!!!!!

yea... i think i was mesmerized by this dress when i first walked in that i din't see any others, lol.....good luck with your fitting on the 10th!!!

Congratulations !!! I can't wait to see pictures of your beautiful day!

This dress is amazing on you!! When is your wedding?
I also live in the Ottawa area and drove to Brampton to try this on. Are you looking at selling your dress after your wedding?!

Let me know!

Are you planning to sell your dress?

I live in Ottawa and my friend just tried this dress on at Mia Bridal on Merivale Road.
