    Hi Kally,
    Thanks for a fantastic blog with lots of good ideas and photos!!

    I have something I would really appreciate your opinion on.. You’ve uploaded so many wedding dresses so you must have a good overview of the do’s and dont’s. I ahve just bought my dress from Manuel Mota’s 2008 collection: Colina (you have it here above). I am now having huge doubts as I have the impression that it evokes a sense of ‘hippie’. Am completely wrong here?

    As I said, I would really appreciate your advice.. thanks..

    Hi D,

    Thank you for your kind words. But I’m not so sure about the hippie look; it’s rather a French revolution influence.

    I’ll post immediately a new article; I can put some pictures there too so you should get a bit better my point.

    And I’m so glad you like Fashionbride :blush:

    OK good! We are having our wedding at a meadow which is why I want to tune down the whole hippie theme a bit..

    People have been telling me that I look like Jenny in Forrest Gump in my dress (you know the scene when they get married?) which got me a bit scared. So thanks for the advice and reassurance! I look forward to the new article.

    Hi -
    Thanks for making it easy to see all of the dresses in one place. I really like the Cangas dress, but can’t find it anywhere to try on. I live in Southern California and none of the bridal shops have it anywhere. Have you seen it in person? One shop had a Pronovias dress that was very similar – same lace bodice and skirt only with small straps – no sleeves. It is not on the 2008 pronovias website. Do you know if it was a previous year’s model? It fit great but am wondering if they are the same dress? The only other difference is it seems it is not made out of the same white organza that the current MM dresses are showing up in. I love the white organza – so would order the Cangas dress if I knew it had the same fit.

    Hi Tiffany,

    I’m glad I can help :) . That’s why I thought necessary to upload the Pronovias Collection. I still have some work to do…

    About Cangas. Honestly I don’t remember seeing it in the 2007 Collection, I’ll check it up first thing in the morning (I live in Europe :) ) and tell you what I discover.

    Didn’t they tell you what dress did you tried on? Maybe it was Cangas but without the embroidered chemise .

    But I’m sure if you order the dress, perfect sizes, it will look ok. Cangas has a very nice shape that fits on every figure.

    Hi,

    Well off course the dress is appropriate :) but it depends very much on the way you look (for instance I am very short :( so this type of dress won’t fit me right).

    Can’t wait to tell us what your trip was. I hope you’ll find everything you dream of.

    Good Luck,

    Hello, I am new to this webite but delighted to find it.
    Kali I WANT the Coimbra dress also. I don’t know about u but I just do not want a typical wedding dress, its just not me. The only thing is I am only 5ft 3″ & I wonder would I look silly?? Plus I live in Ireland & I do not think anywhere here has it? I would also like to know the price – I do not want to sound like skin flint but I do not intend spending a small fortune on it.

    So did u try it on, was it fab?? I absolutely adore it.

    Desperately seeking advice,

    Valentine**

    Hi,

    Well, first of all, I’m glad you found Fashionbride, I hope it will be usefull :) .

    As for the Coimbra I’ll let Kali answer … I already said that i don’t think this gown would advantage me (i’m also short 1,55 m) but it depends a lot on the way you look; if you’re really slim and the dres will be properly adjusted, I don’t see any problems :) .

    Pronovias has many retailers in Ireland :D , you don’t have to worry about it.

    All my best and hope to hear from you soon,
    Kally

    Hi there!

    I am so happy to discover this website! I have been searching endlessly for the Pronovias Manuel Mota Clara and Colina gowns and at last! Perhaps you might be able to provide some insight as to where I can find and purchase either of these gowns. I am truly in love with the Colina gown! I am not sure how much these gowns are, but I am hoping to find them at a good price. If you can help me in any way, I would truly appreciate it! Thank you so much! God bless you!

    Sincerely,
    Melissa

    @ melissa: you can find all the details on http://www.pronovias.com. I’m not allowed to make further comments as I am not a retailer :) . But you can post a comment on the announcements section on FashionBride… maybe someone can help you :) . I’m glad you descovered FashionBride too.

    Hi Kally,
    I love your blog. I am so glad i found a lot of brides also in love for Manuel Mota Dresses. I like the dresses Condado and Camara. I am also after a wedding dress that is not so tradicional. I have not seen the dresses yet but i wonder if you think any of them would suit me. I am very short, 1,60 m and quite small, (UK size 8 – or jeans size 27). Any idea how much this dresses will cost in the USA. I will be shoppping for my dress in california with my friends. i sent a couple of emails to the retailerss few weeks ago and have not received any replay.
    Many thanks and congrats for the blog!!

    Hi,

    I’m glad you like my blog :blush: ….

    The dresses are around 1000-1500 US dollars (I’ve already said it :P I don’t know for sure since I live in Europe).

    The Camara gown is absolutely adorable and I’m sure it will look great on you (it’s a pretty used trick … the inferior part of the gown creates amplitude and the relatively simple upper part assures the height illusion.

    As for Condado… I’m not sure which one is that :P .

    I promise I’ll send some e-mails myself to Pronovias… but after I finish my exams :D .

    All my best

    Hi there D. I think the Colina Dress is beautiful. I have been searching to buy it myself. You should use it I think, but if the doubts are too much you have a possible buyer in me, wlling to take it off your hands. Or if you are wanting to sell it second hand after your big day, I would also be interested. If the size is right.

    :o )
    all the the best

    hello there! i am brand new to this site, and i am ecstatic to have found such a solid resource for wedding gowns!! thank you so much for making this fantastic blog!! i am from the US and have fallen in love with the valdemar from the 2009 manuel mota collection. it is SO romantically gorgeous and i am anxiously awaiting its debut in the states. i’ve looked around a few sites and have discovered mixed opinions regarding prices for the mota gowns. any idea as to about how much these gorgeous gowns are? i’m scared they might be quite far out of my budget bracket (i really don’t want to spend more than $3000 USD). i am about 5′6 and am a petite woman in terms of the bust region (eep!). do you think the valdemar would be an appropriate choice since there seems to be a little more fluff above the empire waist?

    Hi Emily,

    The best way to find out if the dress really suits you is to go and try it on :) . Belive me, nothing can get the stone from your heart better then to see the gown with your own eyes. As for the prices… I’ve said it 100 times :P try to get the price from your retailers :) .

    Today I’ve got an e-mail from the guys at Pronovias… they told me it’s imposible to give me prices from all over the world :P It depends a lot of the town, state, country you live in.

    You’re american… that means you’ll get a Pronovias with 3000 … don’t worry :) . In Europe the cost starts at 1000 Euros :) .

    You can even see the announcements page :) . Nicole was planning on selling her Nicole dress from Pronovias.

    All my best and thx for the kind words :) .

    Yes please! I tried on the “coimbra” dress because its awesome but it looks horrible on my pear shape. I bought the “paola” dress from badgley mischka for 5k and then saw the “valdemar” and had an oh shit moment. The 2009 MM are not going to be available in LA until september. Ahhhhhh!I don’t know what to do

    Ainjil, I posted the valdemar. The best way to know is to try it on, cause you can’t see the way it look only if you see the pictures.

    You can consider order it via internet or come to barcelona if you like the new collection :) .

    Well until you go there and see the dresses you won’t know what you want. If you don’t know what you want then you can’t have a price comparison point.

    Girls, there’s nothing wrong or hard to do. Just go to the retailers, see what they have, ask for the price and then leave. It takes just 10 minutes :P .

    I don’t know the prices all over the world and like I said before it depends on the country you live in.

    Hi Kally!

    I just wanted to report to you and let you know that I have purchased both the Dango and Valdemar gowns in the states! :) One is due to come in during November, while the other is slated for April of next year. I am SO ecstatic! The Dango was gorgeous!! Now, I haven’t had a chance to try on the Valdemar, but I figured the “breathless” impact the internet visuals of the dress was enough to justify the purchase. :)

    Hi Kally!

    I love the blog – it really does provide a lot of great insight. Like many of the readers above, I have a question about where I can find a particular dress. I completely fell in love with the Manuel Mota “Clara” and I have been looking for it everywhere. Also, because I have yet to find it, I cannot try it on. I noticed above that you have ideas on what styles will look good on particular body types…I am quite skinny and slightly taller (6′1″/1.82m) than my fiance, so I don’t want to appear excessively tall and skinny. Do you think this style will create that illusion since there isn’t much shape to it?Thanks!

    Hi Juliene,

    I’m glad you like my blog , I do try my best :) .

    As for Clara (such a beautiful gown :X) it will look great on you because you’re tall and thin, BUT it depends a lot on how skinny you are cause the shoulders will play a decisive role in the way you look.

    So if you’re rather skinny on the upper side (hands, shoulder, neck) then you should consider having a bolero go with it (actually I think Clara had a certain bolero on it).

    I will make a post about body weight/height and recommended gowns :) . Hope I’ll have time today (I have thousands of e-mails to answer :P ).

    Best.

    There are no sample sales in my country, I’m new to the city, and I’m getting married this year…I’m in love but Manuel Mota’s dresses but I’m worried about the price! (I haven’t gone to Pronovias yet – I’m going next week)
