Pretty gown, popular style with the ruched bodice, sweetheart neckline. But for a lot of girls this could be a problem gown to wear. Reason is the low back.
We've all seen them, the girls who are constantly pulling up their strapless gowns. Or worse yet the gap! You know the one, the one where we're deathly afraid something is going to fall out! Well if the back of your gown is lower in the back than in proportion to the front, it has nothing to pull against to get a tight fit. So if you're small busted and can't push out the front of the dress you're going to have problems with the gown fitting properly.
Here's one that's really low in the back!
If you are still opting for a low back gown make sure it has the boning in the bodice. Look for a specialized long-line bra. You may even need to wear a Nubra underneath the long-line to fill it out/push it out further in order to fill the dress. Don't have bra cups sewn into the dress! Sewn in bra cups follow the dress not you.

Marriage Tip
Don't marry a man who likes Chocolate as much as you do.
Look, this Chocolate theif is even wearing a glove. Like that will help. And a holey glove at that!
So why shouldn't you marry a man who likes chocolate as much as you?
Well, you will find yourself competing to see who can eat the most chocolate.
Lying will ensue about how much chocolate has actually been eaten.
Arguing about who actually ate the most chocolate, who ate the last chocolate, etc...
And worst of all... you'll start hiding your own stash and lying about it!
Mind you this is a big joke in our house, and the above happens in jest. But that's not to say I don't get a bit miffed when I go for the chocolate stash to find just one or perhaps None left. And that's why I say....It's best to just have One and Only One chocolate lover in the household at a time. Marry Wisely!

Ana & Chris 's Cozy Home Wedding
Ana & Chris wanted to keep their wedding special and small, just for family and close friends, so they held the ceremony at their beautiful home in Jesco Hills.
They had a covered porch that Blessed Beginnings came out and decorated for the ceremony. We were able to section and drape 2 sides of the porch with satin for a background. Lights, tulle, ivy and flowers wrapped around the posts, and we placed a small alter and floral arrangements at the front.
Ana also requested that I preform the ceremony. Since there were only two attendants, and the wedding was small and informal, we didn't need to hold a rehearsal the night before.
Ana picked out beautiful champagne dress that totally flattered her, and Chris looked very handsome in his tux and matching champagne vest & tie.
And there they go, a happy married couple!
Ana, Chris, it was our pleasure. Best Wishes...KJ & Stan

Servicing Brides Nationwide!

This is Leah. Leah contacted us this spring in search of her perfect modest wedding gown. She put her trust in our knowledge and caring attitude to deliver her precious gown via UPS all the way up in Michigan! She was looking for a beautiful and updated look. The designer that fit the bill was Victoria's. Without actually ever having tried on the gown, we guided her through a series of steps to help ensure that this particular gown would look as fabulous as it does.
Dear KJ,
Here's three pictures from the wedding day.
Thank you so very much for all your help in getting my dress, I was so happy with it and the fit. I can't even say how many times I got complimented on it on the wedding day. Everyone wanted to know where I got it.
We enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon in Hawaii and have been VERY happily married for five months today. :)
Thanks again, Leah
Leah,
You look so beautiful!!! How sweet of you to send me pictures. Thank you so much! Often times we don't hear back from girls after they receive their gown, so this is very special to us, And I'm So Happy you loved the gown.
Congratulations, we're wishing you a life long journey of happiness!
Best Wishes,
KJ

Victoria Secret Bridal Christmas...hehe
If you click on photo you can view the larger size photograph
I really liked our Christmas window and I wanted to share it with our readers. Stan worked so hard on those wings! We cut wing forms out of Styrofoam and used an iridescent white garland to cover the front of the wings. I bought every last one of those garland strands from every store in town, but we still didn't have enough. So Stan had to glue small individual tissue puffs to cover the back of the wings, bless his heart! I initially thought we would just attach them to the back of the manikin, but those wings were so heavy we had to hang them from the ceiling. Along with about 75 individual snowflakes that all had to be individually strung and hung!
My friend Dawn, brought by this cute little cheese-ball snowman.
I thought it was adorable,
Thanks Dawn!
