Its beautiful! I'm wearing Alvina Valenta as well. Definatly check sample sales...
SF has a couple sample stores, glamour closet is one... i forget the name of the other.. bella something-or-other...
I doubt they'd have this exact dress, but i bought mine in san jose at this computer shop that was liquidating dresses from trudys bridal in san jose. They have a ton of dresses and get more every month and -get this- they're all ONLY $45!!!
Thats right, Im wearing Alvina Valenta and it only cost me $45!! (plus a couple adjustments and a cleaning!)
Email me if you want the info on that place... its in San Jose.

wow beautiful dress i would say vanilla it would look great on that dress it would be a very classic look and for money umm well mabey u should have a plan on how much your budget will be and work around the budget and if u already have a budget and this dress doesn;t fit into it then find a dress online that looks similar 2 that dress in the picture or make your budget a little higher and save up good luck and congrats

It's a lovely dress, but I wouldn't wear it outside - it's more of a formal-black tie, type of dress. However, you can do what you want, it's just my opinion.
As for affording it, if you know of a handy seamstress she could create a replica of it. Either from a pattern or by altering a similar dress. The cut of the dress is very "prom dress-ish" so perhaps you can purchase a prom dress that is similar and she could add the detail and lace. Good luck (and good choice).

It is very beautiful but me personally, I don't like that mermaid thing going on at the bottom. But it would be perfect for the June weather and the gardens. Maybe they have a payment plan. Talk to them at the site.

ivory . Loved it! Look in discount stores. print the picture and visit every wedding discount around you . It can be a fun adventure. I found my designer dress like that for 25% of the actual price. If you have no luck, then pay full price

Oh my gosh that is so beautiful. Its traditional but modern at the same time and should go very well in an outdoor wedding.
