Not My Style
I got these as "Mystery Bling" and I really didn't like them. They're HUGE. Also, I don't like clip on earrings in general but I definitely didn't want to wear ones that were so heavy! These made me hesitant about doing Mystery Bling in the future.

Gorgeous but I went another way
These were really pretty, but they didn't look as classic as I was hoping so I wore another pair of earrings.

Wear this dress if you want to get engaged!
I ordered this dress for an anniversary date with my boyfriend, but he proposed in the morning so it ended up being my engagement-celebration outfit! I am obsessed with this dress. I'm usually a 4 and this fit like a glove... It felt like it was sewn onto my body! (Thank God, because the 6 wasn't available as a back-up. I was practically praying as I zipped it up!) There's not much stretch and it runs a bit small; I had some trouble with it riding up when I walked and sat down. It was worth a little hassle though: I thought my fiancé's eyes were going to pop out of his head when I came out to show him! It was the perfect dress to rent for such a special occasion and I definitely want to wear it again.

The Perfect Accessory
I loved these earrings and they went perfectly with the Carlos Miele Deep Sea Storm Gown! They were exactly as pictured and easy to wear all night long. They were slightly heavy, but not to the point where I was ever aware of them. Definitely worth a rental!

A Must-Have Ensemble
I loved this dress so much when I was trying on dresses for my sister's wedding that I had to find an occasion to rent it for, so when I needed something to wear to my cousin's wedding I made sure to rent this one. I wanted this dress so badly that I risked same day shipping since it wasn't available the day before. The dress arrived around noon to my hotel and I was (relieved I had something to wear and) over-the-moon with my choice. The dress is great and perfect for an outdoor wedding. If you're looking for something that will set you apart, look no further than this Carlos Miele. I got so many compliments and no one was wearing anything remotely similar, which can be a concern when you opt for something more traditional. The material is beautiful and, at 5'8", I was able to wear the regular with flats. The only issue I had with the dress was that it seemed like the straps were loose from being over-worn. I would recommend some fashion tape to make sure you don't have to keep adjusting throughout the night. I didn't have a wardrobe malfunction, but it was a concern! That being said, I loved wearing the dress and I was very sad to have to send it back.

Perfect for a Beach Wedding
This purse made for a great accent for my friend's beach wedding. The seashell adds to that beachy theme without being kitsch. It's a good sized clutch. I was able to easily fit my cell phone, a compact mirror, a lipstick, and my MOH speech. I would definitely rent it again for the right occasion.

Extremely Elegant Earrings
These were actually my second choice but when I saw then in person I thought they were a lovely accent to my Badgley Mischka dress: just enough to highlight the blue of the dress, without being overpowering.

Gorgeous Maid of Honor Moment
This dress was exactly what I was looking for as my MOH dress for my sister's July wedding. The color is stunning and the material is flowing and ethereal-- almost Grecian. I felt great in it all night and got lots of compliments. I'm 5'8" and wore the 4R with flats but I could have probably been fine with a 2-3 inch heel. I'm usually a 4 and the dress ran true to size. I wish I could rent this dress again. I loved everything about it!

It didn't make the cut as a bridesmaid's dress, but it was a hit at the bar afterwards!
This dress is gorgeous. the stitching is exquisite, and it was my first choice to wear as a bridesmaid's dress; however, it didn't fit the vibe of an outdoor, mountain wedding and was too silver to match the greys of the dresses the other girls in the bridal party were wearing. The dress doesn't have much give, but the 4 fit like a glove. Not the most comfortable glove (thank goodness I'm not too busty), but the 6 was loose on me in the wrong places, so I went with the 4 and felt HOT. I had a lot of fun in this dress even if it was only for an hour at a local bar. I had so much fun that I don't have photographic evidence of me in the dress, but that's life, ladies. Sometimes the best moments go unrecorded.

Beautiful, but not too flashy! The perfect MOH dress!
This was one of the most beautiful days of my life. I saw my best friend marry her soulmate in one of the most gorgeous places in the world and I felt stunning in my RTR dress. The bride and I decided that all the bridesmaids would wear grey dresses in different shades and styles because we knew they would all look good together. It worked out perfectly. Everyone got to express their style and the photos came out great. This dress was actually my back-up but as soon as I felt the material I was sold on it. Also, it didn't hurt that it looked awesome with the beautiful handmade necklace the bride's grandmother made for me. The dress fit perfectly (I did wear Spanx, just to make sure everything was 100% smooth). It's a little low cut in the front, but I didn't feel like I was busting out. Also, if you are hippier than a size 0 model, you may feel like the ruching attracts attention to your curves, so make sure you're confident in that area. it was the perfect length with the cowboy boots we all wore, but if you're shorter than me make sure you wear those big girl heels! I was comfortable all night, dancing, running around making sure the bride had everything she needed, and being a cliche by sneaking off for a moonlight stroll with the Best Man. Hey-o! This dress made me a RTR believer. I will definitely be finding another MOH dress for my sister's wedding in June.
