THE DRESS

Fittings

First fitting.  Still too big... I can't wait for it to fit me sometime soon!

---

Bustles... These are the two options she showed me for now.  I think I like the second better.  She told me that at the next fitting we could try a few other things, so we'll see!

update: my dress is here!!

here's my actual dress!!  Love it!
I don't know why it looks so shiny in these pictures...maybe the lighting is weird.

THE ONE!

 I actually found a very similar dress the first time I went dress shopping at Davids Bridal.  It was the first dress I loved, but I pushed it aside because there were things about it that were annoying and I felt like I could find a better dress.  Then I found this dress...it's the exact same but BETTER!

I purchased it in Diamond white and I think I will have those flowers on the sides taken off.

Accessories

The veil..
bought it at Mestads in Rochester

---

My blue shoes!  Literally one of the first things I said I wanted when I started wedding planning...and here they are!

---

Here's my purse!  My fiance didnt think I needed one, but I convinced him that a girl can't survive without some kind of purse to go with the outfit... :)

ordered this garter in white on Etsy.  seller JLwedding

I want something simple like this.  I like the classic look of pearls and my dress has a lot of crystal beading.  Pretty!

---

Rehearsal
