Hi Crista, where did you find that wedding dress? I’ve been scavenging the internet for an hour and I can only find this dress on your blog! Any help (designer, past website you found it on) would help greatly!
Thanks, Emily
Hi Emily. Isn’t it gorgeous? I believe it is from Zuhair Murad. I found the image on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/nearlynaked/wedding-trends-2013-minty-green/. Good luck finding it.
