For our Chinese wedding banquet, one month after our wedding, I will be wearing my wedding dress (again! yay!), my cheongsam, and now…this!
It was way way on sale at Bloomingdales, but they only had this one, which (even though you can’t really tell in these pics) was huge on me, so they’re shipping one in my size to me from another store! Yay!
I had such a hard time searching for evening gowns since everything that seemed sufficiently formal seemed very not me, and everything I liked wasn’t formal enough! This seems like a perfect balance though, and, even though I didn’t set out to do it - it perfectly matches my invite colors! I have definitely gotten into the “everything in my colors” mode lately…our sheets we registered for (and were given, yay!), random t-shirts, a bathing suit….
Anyway, for those of you picking extra dresses (either for a banquet, or if you’re changing for your reception) how did that process compare with choosing an actual wedding dress? I was much less emotional this time around, but I still felt that it was very important to get it “right,” in a way that I don’t about normal clothes purchases.

I love it! It’s fits your personality and the colors are tasty!! Perfect shape for you, too!
btw
happy b-day, bluebell!
It looks way better on you than on the model. It’s gorgeous!
Ohhhh I love reading about you and the chinese aspects of your wedding. It’s so cool you’re having another reception. My mom suggested that. I was like no way! Your dress is so pretty!
I wanted to get my first dress right. The white bridal gown. Then I wanted a really sexy evening gown. The cheongsam, I didn’t care so much about. My mom did pick a pretty color and pattern so I am happy. It’s the style I would’ve chose but I am not that bothered by it as long as one of my dresses is what my heart really wants.
Happy birthday!!!
is that a nicole miller dress?
Thanks Miss Kiwi, Go Amie, & Miss Snow Pea!! 
lolacola - yes it is nicole miller, i linked to it on the nordstrom site in the “this” in the first sentence. but if you have a bloomingdales near you it’s hundreds of dollars less there (but not on their website)
[...] Then I changed into my third dress. [...]

About Me: Trying to find the perfect balance between family tradition (marrying at the house everyone else in my family gets married at), making our's modern, interesting and different from everyone else in my family's, and incorporating some Chinese tradition for my Chinese fiance. I really have no idea what it's going to end up looking like!
Also, I picked Miss Bluebell for my name because I have blue eyes and I'm a loser like that.
