Alana Hampton, Midgley Bride
My husband and I were married on Plantation Island Resort, Fiji on 3rd October 2009. Originally I wanted a simple slip dress since both the ceremony and reception were going to be out on the sand, however once I went dress shopping that changed very quickly! I realised I could still have a beautiful gown for a beach wedding but didnt want anything puffy or too over the top. I tried a couple of dresses on in the first shop I went to and gave the sales lady an idea of what styles I liked, and she said she had the perfect dress for me. As soon as I put this dress on I was in love and was having it no matter what! The cut of it was just beautiful - the fishtail bottom gave me, who is short and slim but curvy, the perfect shape. I also had the back modesty panel cut off halfway down to open the back up and make it a bit more beachy which I loved. It was sexy but classy, modern but with a slight antique feel, and so comfortable and cool in the Fijian heat! Everyone absolutely loved the dress - my husband even turned to me during the ceremony after my Dad gave me away and said “Wow, that's a great dress!" THANK YOU!!!
