in Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth

So I had a few days off becuase I had some freinds come into town from Canada. I managed to get my venue booked. (Lofty Spaces) and my dress bought all in one day!

I am so excited about my dress, but even more excited about the experience we had. We went to the Lewisville Bridal Boutique and it was a drea. She really listened to everything I had to say and I can say I LOVED every dress she pulled. 10's across the board, but the dress I picked was a solid 20!

So so far the wedding planning is going well, I hope I can keep this streak up!

    I have the picture of me in my dress under the school folder on our computer, so I know he will never look in that!  But I shared the picture with my friends and my family because I couldn't keep it in lol

    We couldn't take pics in my actual dress when we got it, but we did at Davids Bridal. FI took my mom's camera to get some pics and ended up downloading the whole memory card and he was like 'AH AH I can't look!!! Someone take these pictures off my computer!!!' And my mom, sister, and I just doubled over laughing because we knew we didn't have a picture of my actual dress, but it was so so cute how concerned he was.
    My problem has been hiding the boudoir pics! FI does photography on the side so he is always in all of the picture folders.

    Aaaah, I love your dress! I almost bought this dress, too! You're making me have dress jealousy. :)

    How long is it supposed to take to get here? The ladies at Lewisville Bridal were super sweet when I went, too.

    <div>Hahahaha, I had mine in my guest closet and on at least three occasions I asked H if he was SURE he didn't want to just see it!  I also had a folder in my "Wedding" file called "H KEEP OUT" with pics of the dress.  =)</div>

    They said it would take 4-7 months! I have to go back in on Saturday to get measured and hopefullly find a veil too. When I go in on Friday I will get to tke pics in the dress! The Lewisville Bridal Boutique was a dream, I had 5 people go with me, and they treated everyone like princesses!

    I think when it does come in I will have to keep it at my sisters house. We have a 1 bedroom so there is no where. He got mad at me just TALKING about my experience. But I didnt tell him any details. He wants to be completely suprised. And I want him to be suprised too, but its so hard to to share everything with him!

    Your dress is GORGEOUS!!! So excited for you. I'm excited to see what you to with Lofty Spaces too. My FI really wanted that place and I was set on it for a while too....I just became too indecisive lol.
