Wedding Dress Shopping


My mom and sister came in this weekend and we went to look at wedding dresses. I was really nervous about it. I have definitely dreamed of my wedding dress for as long as I can remember. I didn't have specific ideas, but I knew I wanted to feel beautiful and I wanted it to be different. I did not want a ball gown with lots of beading. My mom was very helpful. My consultant thought my mom was super cute because she said most moms want tons of beading and my mom was trying to find a dress with NO beading because that is what I wanted. I picked out 6 dresses and my consultant suggested we try on my favorite ones first. I had an idea as we were going into this that I would not know what I would like until the dress is on. It's hard to tell when a dress will be flattering. My two favorites were NOT flattering. They were nice, but they did not look good on me. I tried on two more that I liked, but did not love. There was one more left and I did not want to try it on. I didn't think it would be THE one because it wasn't as "out there" as I thought I 
wanted. Ashley talked me into trying it on. It was BEAUTIFUL! It really flattered my body type and I felt good on it. I will be able to add a few details to make it different and I fell in love with it. I can't wait to try it on again in August! I am glad I found one. I did not realize it took so long for dresses to come in!

My First Post

This is my first post:) I started to create a wedding website, but I thought this would serve that purpose and I can continue it after the wedding. I will use this website to let you know about our wedding details from the ceremony, reception, and all the emotions and excitement leading up to it. Daniel didn't like my website address, but I couldn't think of anything else!  I REALLY hope I keep this up and after Daniel's graduation it should be easier!
