Find the perfect wedding dress

Even though most people probably thought I looked like a heffer, I felt like a queen. So fuck em.

I made my down payment last Thursday so I decided on one of the dresses and this goal is now finished!

I love my wedding dress!

I went to David’s Bridal yesterday with my friends Sara and Mrs. Natalie. I pulled God knows how many dresses to try on, but I successfully narrowed it down to TWO! I’m very confused though, because I cannot decide! Plus, all the dresses I’ve tried are all a blur, so I cant even remember what the dress Laura and I picked out even looks like. So I need to get that picture to make absulutely sure that I like the David’s Bridal ones better. The problem is, all three are completely different styles, so I just have to decide what I want to go with. Ahh!! I’ll be glad when I finally know and can make the down payment!

I went to a bridal shop in Ann Arbor with my future sister, Laura and we found a gorgeous dress that is definitely a top choice! We wrote down the designer and style number so that I can look for it in Alabama. On Thursday morning I’m going back to David’s Bridal with Sara and her mom, so I’m very excited! This is a lot of fun :)

I was intimidated at first, because this is still all so new to me! I’m not in any way new to dress shopping – I was in pageants throughout high school – but, I’m definitely new at WEDDING DRESS shopping! I had it on my to do list for 2 weeks and finally went to David’s Bridal today to take a look, and tried on 3 dresses. The first one that I tried was amazing! And its only the first one! I’m so excited!! But, I’m definitely going back for another appointment with friends and also check out other shops too!

i put the down payment on it today.

the funny thing is…

its the dress in the picture i posted, and i didnt even realize it until i had filled all the info out to purchase it. ironic?

i went wedding dress shopping this weekend, and i was trying on a TON of dresses. then finally i put on a dress that was just amazing!! when someone says you know when you try it on… YOU KNOW. i was so excited. so i went to the front of the store to fill out the info…and what do you know….it was the dress in THAT pic that i posted in my last entry…and i didnt even realize it until i was filling out the info for the dress. i thought it was ironic. haha.

something really really lacey and detailed…strapless…and not too poofy but not too flat. kinda in the middle.

Okay, I thought dress shopping was going to be a LOT more fun than it was! I got a lot of attitude from the attendants in a lot of the dress shops. The looks of disgust on their faces when I told them that the wedding was in August…! Mostly they told me that it would take 6-8 months to have a dress specially made, and that they couldn’t help me, and I’d left it too late and should have started looking much earlier.
Hello, we only got engaged 2 months ago!
Anyway, I found a lovely dress shop where the owner served me and did everything possible to help – she sold me a dress from the rack that fitted perfectly so won’t need any alterations other than the hem taken up, and even took $500 off the price which put it right in my budget.
I love it, it reminds me of the dress Cinderella wore in the Disney cartoon! (well, it did til I google image-searched a pic of it!)
Yay, happy to cross this goal off the list!

120 days til the wedding and I’m going dress shopping tomorrow!

I’ve always wanted a really puffy dress (tastefully puffy that is!) but I’m not sure how that will work with my body shape. I’m looking forward to trying them all on!
