So. Like.

I got my dress!

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't post photos nor tell you what it looks like because Mr. Fiancee is not allowed to see it.

But I will say my whole vision for the wedding has changed - because of the dress.

I see a 1920's inspired bridal wardrobe and vintage-style reception in my future.

Oh. yes.

Dress Shoppin'

Auntie and I will embark on the first round of dress shoppin' this weekend.

I plan to use my inspiration as a starting point, and go from there.

But I want your help.

Help me find the perfect dress.

Are you married? Planning a wedding? Tried on wedding gowns just for fun?

Yes?

OK. I'd appreciate your advice. Help a girl out, will ya?

What should I do/not do this weekend? How can I make my experience memorable, productive AAAAAAND practical? This will be my first time trying on gowns.

I'll use your experiences to guide my own.

Let the fun begin!

Dress Inspiration

I haven't tried any dresses on...yet. But I intend to start with the trumpet/mermaid style gown and see how they fit.

I heart vintage, lace, form-fitting gowns, like the one above. Reminds me of the 50's. Classic + simple beauty. So gorgeous.
The open back is breathtaking, but risky. Lace = Love
I'm usually not a frilly-frill girl, but GAW I'd rock this in a heartbeat.
And my favorite. But I've heard people say dresses like these are super uncomfortable and too tight.

What do you think?
