About Mrs. Bird of Paradise

The One

October 4th, 2006 @ 1:18 pm by Mrs. Bird of Paradise

The gown, that is…

By request, here’s the scoop on my bridal gown. It’s Reem Acra’s “Enchanting” and I purchased it at Louise Blum in Houston. Sure, I could have easily purchased it in New Orleans at Town & Country, but really the service at Louise Blum doesn’t even compare!! Love that place! And not once have I regretted the decision to purchase it out of state. Yes, it does suck every once in a while that we have to make a 4 hour drive to Houston and 4 hours back for a fitting, or the veil or the bridesmaid dresses. But, whatever. I love that place, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Here’s some shots of the gown up close.

I can’t decide if I like the back or the front more– they are both stunning. The detail is incredible. Love it!

I thought it was a Reem too! How fitting thats it name was Enchanting and you looked so very enchanting in your pictures too! I took similar pictures in my Reem Magnolia in a manoresque setting but nothing compares to those beautiful trees you had in your background!
