Nichole wears Summer Royale : Gown of the Month!

I may or may not have mentioned our discount store: "Off Pickwick".

I know.  Cutesy.

So the cool thing about Off Pickwick is that nothing in the store is over $499.  Yes.  $499. For a WEDDING GOWN.  Oh, and not just ANY wedding gowns either.  These are exquisite gowns (which I spelled correctly the first time, btdubbs).  I am going to introduce you to one of them today.

Introducing Summer Royale by Maggie Sottero

This is Nichole!!  She is one of our Gown Specialists/Resident Bride <3

"But Tabitha!  You can't take pictures of the gowns!! It's against the copyright rules with the manufacturer!! There are signs all over the store and I got chastised when I tried to photograph!"
Yep!  You're right!

The reason I am able to post pictures with her real name and tell you how much she costs is because this gown is discontinued which changes the copyright rules.  The dress is no longer available from Maggie Sottero, BUT we have thiiiiis onnnneee!!

Summer is a beautiful silk dupioni (texture-y silk that has this awesome half shine-half matte look)  and is originally around $2100...Two Thousand One Hundred dollars.  21HUNDRED!  And now it's $499.  LADIES THIS IS RIDICULOUS.  But again, discontinued gown...can't sell it for full price and we have promised that nothing at Off Pickwick is over $499 so there you have it.  Amazingly gorgeous gown: tiny price.

Let's elaborate more on the amazingness of Summer Royale.  There are floral accents in the pick ups of the dress and also a detachable floral on shoulder accent that you can take on and off as you choose.  She is a corset back (what's up, tiny waist), and has a chapel length train that bustles beautifully with these side pick ups.

beeeeeUUUUUtiiiiifulllllll

We chose a cathedral length veil with small crystals because the gown does not have any "bling" on it.  AND because the dress looks beautiful through the veil.

See: pretty.

BABY SPARKLES!!!

Then come the accessories!!  Nichole said, "OH! I know!!  Get the pearl and crystal twisty one!"  And she was right...it's perfect.  Especially with the veil.  And especially on Nichole's long elegant neck.  I'm a fan of this necklace because it is classy and not quite traditional bridal.

twistyyyyyyyyy

Then I had to add my twist to the look.  I really love head pieces and birdcage veils!  So I was like "Dude hold still I'm about to 1940's you."  Renee pinned on the shoulder aaaaand VOILA:

Totally different look!!

HOLY TUNA SALAD Nichole is so beautiful!!

OK NOW HERE'S MY FAVORITE PART!!! Let's change it up for the reception!! Yay!!!

I took the birdcage off, turned it the other way, tucked some of the netting into the comb, and placed it over her side pony tail making it suuuuuuuper fun and flirty!!

Nichole called me an accessory wizard.  That's what's up.  I'm like Harry Potter with a fascinator.

So I would encourage you all to check out Off Pickwick.  This is only ONE of the $499 gowns...and she's not the only outrageous deal there!!  Off Pickwick is open from 12-5pm on Saturdays and by appointment Monday - Friday, SERIOUSLY...check it out!

SIDENOTE: Only 5 months until Nichole's wedding!! The excitement is building :)
