Wedding ~ I am getting married in Ireland this winter, and I found an amazing dress.

Me ~ I am an older bride in my mid 30's and I didn't want anything with too much pouf. I have very big (too big) breast and I wanted to minimize their appearance.

My Future Husband ~ Loves my figure, but appreciates a bit of modesty. I wanted a modest, elegant, traditional design.

The Dress ~ It's Ivory, it has detachable capped sleeves with a key hole back. I plan to wear for the ceremony and for the reception it looks like a different dress.
It's very lightweight an easy to travel with. Trust me... It looks much better on me than it does on this model. It detracts from my bust area with the great split.
It has a very Victorian almost antique look to it. It's a new model, just introduced a few weeks ago, so there are really no pictures of it yet (at least none that I can find). So, I have pulled together a few models from the same designer to share the look.

    I am sure the wedding will be absolutely wonderful for both you and your husband to be. May you live happily ever after (and Ireland sounds great, too).

    It sounds like it is gorgeous! Is your fiance Irish? A winter Irish wedding sounds so unique and romantic.

    Yes, he's 100% with his family crest tattooed on his amazing bicep. I am hoping it is warm, unique gathering. I am really too old to get dressed up in a big pouf of a dress, and we're too sensible to spend googobs of cash financing a fairy tale.

    We are looking forward to having a simple ceremony and intimate gathering with our families and a few close friends. Thanks for commenting Shawna :-)

    Thanks Mark.
    You know I've been there a few times in the winter, and it's never falls below 38 degrees. It is reputed to be cold because it rarely gets over 75 degrees... Even in August.
    In December its usually between 43 and can get as warm as 50 degrees in December.
    It does rain nearly every day there, but only for a short while. The joke there is "You get all "Five" Seasons daily in Ireland." There are lots of palm trees all over Ireland? My future husband has them in his family home in Dublin, lining the front yard.
    You should try to go in 2013. They are launching a huge campaign next year. Any Irish American with American roots to "Come Home," next year. You will probably start seeing the adds later this year.

    oh i've got my roots ... some little village somewhere ... my mom's got all the info in a big ol' book that her family has been putting together for eons ... and my mom's side of the family is "the" closest branch on the tree that Patrick Fleming brought with him when he came a couple of hundred of years ago ...
