I've noticed (my opinion) that a lot of wedding dresses look really different (and so much better) on real brides than the models used on the designers websites. Shall we post 1 pic of us in the dress next to 1 pic of the model and just prove that us real brides look better in the dress? I'm not having this dress now but this WAS mine...

I'm a curvy 18 and 5 feet 6. I'm never going to look the same as a size 10 5 feet 10 model!!!

The models you see have the perfect lighting on them, neutral background, most have been spray tanned and to top it all they've had the hair styled by some top stylist. Its not real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best brides are the ones who are getting married to the man of their dreams and not posing for photos! Knock'em dead!!! Maz

Oldbird, I think the La Sposa/San Patrick models are sooo awful - they're airbrushed so much they actually look like mannequins! Mine is Madeira in the Taffetas range (first one): http://www.coline.pl/suknie-slubne/la-sposa-madeira.html And this is me in it (although the model's is gold and mine is ivory and my lace is a bit bunched up at the bottom): http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/pp80/crop1.jpg

It just goes to show you never know about a style of dress until you try it on yourself...

And this is me in it It’s slightly creased as it had just arrived from the US but I am so happy with it (as you can tell by the smile on my face). First dress fitting on 22nd August so am now trying to lose as much weight and tone up as possible before then. I agree most normal brides look so much better than the stick thin scrawny models in the designers pictures – plus we smile which half of them don’t!

The dresses look so different to the pictures but I love going on the Maggie website and looking at the real bride testimonials to get a better idea of the dresses on real brides. Kspriggs I love your dress it suits you perfectly xx
