Which Wedding Gown Is Better For Pirate Beach Wedding?

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

We’re having a pirate-themed destination wedding with two ceremonies — a “sacred” ceremony on a beach followed by a sunset pirate cruise where we’ll be wed by a ship’s captain. Wanted a dress that can look a bit more traditional for the sacred ceremony and then accessorized with belt, lace shawl and hat for the pirate ceremony. I think I’ve found the perfect dress to fit the bill, but don’t know if ivory or white would be better. Ivory would be a more “period” costume, but I would like to wear white for my wedding and think the white would look better for the daylight beach wedding against the turquoise waters and palm trees. The dress doesn’t have a train which I wanted, but perhaps it would be better not to have a train for a beach wedding anyway. So, here’s the dress — http://www.goldwo.com/ball-gown-multilay… — Whaddya think — ivory or white? And any suggestions about train, no train? Also, if you have any ideas for shoes, I’d love to hear those, too. Thanks everyone!

How Can I Donate My Wedding Gown To A Military Bride?

Tagged Under : , , , ,

In 2002, I married at just 20 years old. Unfortunately, it ended in divorce…in hindsight I never should have married so young. Fortunately,the marriage ended amicably…no bloodbath, and we are still friends.
I have since remarried, happily and he is seeing someone he cares deeply for. Its now time to let go of my wedding gown. I worked for a bridal shop when I was engaged for the first time (iI’m a seamstress) and as a result, I tried on over 200 wedding gowns until I found the one. I wanted something in the style of Jackie Kennedy, slightly off shoulder, simple. I found a beautiful alfred angelo gown…matte organza a-line gown with a portrait neckline, semi cathedral train and scalloped (I didn’t do strapless because it seems like ALL wedding gowns are strapless anymore) I wanted something with a vintage feel that I wouldn’t cringe at later.
I know already that selling wedding gowns can be VERY hard and I couldn’t resonably expect to sell it for much, especially since it isn’t strapless with a pickup skirt. But I do know that many military brides have to forgo a wedding because they don’t have money to plan a wedding before their loved ones deploy overseas.
I looked at the charities that donate gowns to miliary brides, but they won’t take gowns that are more that a couple of years old. I know that my gown in 10 years old, but I chose it specifiaclly because of its vintage look and I know there is a bride out there who is looking for something just like it.
It is a size 10.No alterations were needed. I removed the bustle before cleaning. It is an Alfred Angelo, style number 1972.
How can I post it for free to give to a military bride? The free section on my local Craigslist is probably not a good idea…we have way too many greedy selfish people who will lie to get it so they can resell it.
Every bride deserves a wedding, if she wants one (The second time around, I didnt…we eloped) but that holds DOUBLY true for the fiancees of the men who are putting their AZZES on the line to protect our country. I have a beautiful wedding gown, and while I don’t regret my first marriage (It ultimately led to my independence and meeting my current husband as well as two beautiful little girls) I will never wear it again. I want to make someone elses dream come true.
