I even thought that Meryl Streep's Oscar outfit would make a nice outfit for an older bride.

i really loved her dress that night. really elegant and graceful.

Hi, I didn't know that this post was still active! I am really glad that it is, because I have found the dress that was literally in my dreams forever. It just didn't have a designer attached to it, but it really was in my mind. Of course... it ends up being designer Reem Acra, but my GOD it is gorgeous! I am actually buying it on discount since it is being discontinued. I have to show you guys. These are the photos I have found of the dress.

Very pretty, I love the back of the skirt, too!

Love it Love it Love it.....It have a roman, eyptian feel to it. Love it Love it Love it. It looks better on you than on the model.

Very lovely gown and you will make a very beautiful bride.

Thank you girls!

Em- As soon as I saw it, I knew that was it for me. It is The One. =)

tncosby- I am sure that the dress will look magnificent on my wedding day, but these are the photos of the original girl that I am buying the dress from. Sorry for the confusion! But we are built about the same, lol. At the moment I have a small bump in the front due to the little person I am carrying. =)

Gemcat- Thank you so much for saying that! You are so sweet!

reem acra does incredible work. a friend of mine got a reem acra dress, and since our office is right by her studio, she would go over there for her fittings with 'reem' herself. the dress was gorgeous. and actually, it was very similar to your dress. she has this flair for beadwork and her strapless dresses are really well fit.

That dress is amazing!!! Wow, I need to re-new my vows, LOL.

OMG how incredibly lucky for her to actually be able to meet and do her fittings with Reem herself! That is the best story ever! I would love to meet her in person. I was going to go with Monique Lhuillier for the longest time, but I really loved the beadwork on the Reem Acra gowns.
