{Can’t Afford It/Get Over It} Salma Hayek’s Balenciaga Stunner
I have had a mad girl crush on Salma Hayek ever since she showed off her luscious lady curves in Desperado. So I was extra excited when a reader wrote in wanting to get over Salma’s beyond gorgeous Balenciaga wedding gown. Here’s what bride Nola had to say:
I have a gown that I’ve always admired, but can’t really find an affordable alternative to it. It is the wedding gown Salma Hayek wore to her wedding (it is a Balenciaga).
My favorite parts of this dress are:
1. The straps
2. The shape (ballgown) and cinched in at the waistThank you so much for your help in advance!

The first, from David’s, is AMAZING. If I wasn’t making my dress, I would have gotten that one.
Glad to see there are alternatives to pricey wedding dresses. These are gorgeous.
Number 8's a stunner but 5 and 10 are great too. Any chance you could do a Claire Pettibone inspired capped sleeved, backless, slinky Get Over It?
Number 10 hands down! It’s amazing!
I'm loving the cosmobella dress! Part of me wishes I could go through wedding dress shopping all over again after seeing it!
Huzzah, #3 is my dress! I have been waiting for it to arrive so I can go and try it on for-freaking-EVAR!!! I can't wait to wear it. And here I never thought I'd be a "princess" bride.
Beautiful dresses! I can't believe the first one's from David's, they've really come a long way!

Oooh. I love the one from Ella Rosa. Can someone answer a dumb question for me? I just discovered this site and can not figure out how to submit a photo of my Can't Afford It dress. How do I do that?
