In The Hangover

In The Hangover

First off, If you didn't see the movie The Hangover, stop what your doing and go see it! This movie was the perfect "Bro" movie, and will make you laugh yourself out of your seat. This movie revolves around a bachelor party in Vegas. The guys are running around the day of the wedding trying to remember what happened the night before. The Bride is home worrying about them being back in time while she is waiting in her wedding dress! I am not going to ruin the movie for you but I will tell you about the Bride's gown! The gown in The Hangover is by Amsale. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, the gown is a strapless silk organza, A-line dress. It features a sweetheart neckline with shirred bodice, natural waist, and satin ribbon with a floral detail. Exquisite Bride has this particular gown as seen in The Hangover and many more by Amsale!
