We just got engaged in November, but ?I have started looking at dresses even though we arent getting married to 2013, I have fallen in love witha  Alita Graham dress..and I dont know what to do lol, I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? And I was wondering what style of dress is good for an outdoor summer wedding. This is the dress I am in love with.

I would not buy anything this far out. It will be okay to start looking and collecting photos, but the pics with the model can tell a completely different story when you actually try the dress on. Don't get your heart set on a particular style until you start trying dresses on and figure out which one looks best with your body type/shape.

I would personally just browse at dresses for another couple of years before settling on one. Bridal shops come out with new dresses every year, so you may find another one you fall in love with. I got engaged in June 2008, getting married May 14, 2011. I started looking at dresses right away, just the thought was so exciting. I loved the first one I tried on, but still wanted to wait until this year to order. To my surprise I found a new dress that I absolutely adore and is so me. The dress is gorgeous though.

Oh I am not planning on buying one yet, because I want to enjoy looking around and trying them on. I'm just trying to get ideas, and I want to lose more weight so far since last yer I'm down 50lbs I want to be at least down 50 more by my wedding.

You know if you are looking this early you can keep an eye out for used dresses. It's usually impossible to find a specific dress used but if you keep an eye out you might come across it in the next couple of years.

Congrats on the weight loss!

The dress looks beautiful!  I would wait to try on dresses until you have reached your desired weight.  Different dresses can flatter different body types, and you may find that you don't want to hide your new defined curves under a big ball gown.  

In the meantime, it's fun to look!

It is a lot of fun to look this early and if you find something that you absolutely love and I mean absolutely love, then go for it. just hold off on alterations until way closer too.
