Radiant taffeta strapless gown with fitted draped body and flare skirt with luxe double faced satin ribbon and crystal embellished flower at waist. Chapel train.

Dress is brand new & still in the garment bag from the bridal store. I absolutely love this dress, but I ended up wearing something much more casual (as my wedding became an outside wedding in 100 degree heat!). It’s really sad to let this dress go, but I’ll feel better knowing someone else gets to wear it :)

Encorebridal.com is pleased to present this stunning and unique gown. Made in Italy from Italian silk shantung comes this 2 piece Juliet labeled gown for Italian Designer CM Creazioni. It was purchased at the popular bridal salon Renee Strauss for The Bride in Los Angeles who specializes in providing hand-picked merchandise from designers the world over. The strapless pleated top measures 10\” from hem to hem. Gorgeous Chantilly lace peaks out of the bustline and covered buttons adorn the back. The aline skirt features asymmetrical pleating and draping and a court train. Pictured with a semi-full petticoat which the buyer would want to purchase separately as this dress does not have a built-in petticoat. A tie French bustle has been added (not shown). Condition: Excellent; Professionally Cleaned. Will need to be hand pressed.

I thought I would end the week with a couple of gorgeous engagement sessions sent over by the lovely and talented ladies over at SimplyBloom Photography. The first set is of the beautiful couple from yesterday…

How fun is this second set of images SimplyBloom Photography sent over? I just love all the bright colors.  To see more of this engagement session, click here.

I am heading out early today to catch up on a few things and get a head start on posts for Monday. Anna Bond is back from vacation and will be joining us again next week with another DIY project. Have a wonderful weekend!

Purchased at $1200 at Amour Bridal in La Mesa. I love my wedding dress but in these times, we need to make a little extra money. Strapless Size 8, street size 6, built in support system. I’m 5′5 and wore 3-4 inch heels on my wedding day and the dress came to the floor. Custom designed with French Bussell option. Candelight White, silk/satin, with cathedral train, A-Line Ballgown. Intriquite beading and embroidery on the bodice as well as down the side and back down the train. Zips in back. Has been professionally cleaned, looks like the day I bought it, there are no stains whatsoever. Asking $550, I’d really like to sell it to a bride in need who can’t otherwise afford a dress like this brand new, I have more pictures, though they don’t do the dress justice. This dress would sell used in a shop for at least $700, selling for less than half, this dress is truly worth it.

Hi there, lovely sample dress that was an impulse buy with my mother. It has never been altered and it is in perfect condition. I would like to sell it before getting another dress. I’m a street size 4 and the dress still is a little bit loose on me.
