Seriously, it's like a My Little Pony and Tinkerbell totally got it on nasty-style in a magical rhinestone shop and this dress was their sparkling bastard love child. And I mean that in the very best possible way! I'm totally in love.
I've got a detail shot of the bodice and bouquet below, along with the bride's story of where she got the dress.
Kelly says:
I got my dress in downtown Los Angeles at this huge dress shop called “Trendy Too” (lol). They sell dresses primarily for quinceaneras and proms.The brand is Mori Lee, and my dress was part of the 2007 prom collection. They only had one of that particular dress at good old Trendy Too, it was way too big for me — but luckily my grandma is an amazing seamstress and worked her magic on it.
This was the first and only dress I tried on. I just knew it was THE ONE!! The dress was the first thing I got for my wedding (besides the groom, of course) so once I had that, I picked out all the decorations to match the 3 colors of the dress: bright purple, electric blue, and honeydew melon green.
[related-post]So, the secret to a colorful, fanciful, totally over-the-top wedding gown? PROM DRESSES! Folks who've read my book know that I'm biased toward prom dresses: the bright green skirt overlay from my wedding dress was made from an old prom dress I bought on eBay.
Here are a couple more shots of Kelly in her dress:
That dress is amazing!
I have seen this wedding pic for YEARS and never knew the source! SO LISA FRANK PRETTY!
A few of the dresses I’m considering have definitely come from prom sites… I’m not ashamed! I gasped upon seeing this picture as well. Stunning.
I got my 2 wedding dresses, and both of them were prom/pageant gowns. I got 2 dresses for under $1,000. The price point is unbelievable! And plus you can find a dress more reflective of your style. A number of these dresses also come in white, creams–more traditional “wedding” colors!
I’m in love! That dress is fantastically amazing!
i loooove this dress, but more than anything i love what you wrote about it:
“Seriously, it’s like a My Little Pony and Tinkerbell totally got it on nasty-style in a magical rhinestone shop…” hahahahaha you rock just as much as that dress does
I don’t know why, but I friggin’ LOVE THIS DRESS. Totally not my style, but at first glace I was all ZOMG, just like Ariel. I wish I were this brave! 🙂 Beautiful, beautiful gown!
