Done dress shopping too :)

hey ladies,

I was thinking of putting off gown shopping until december but I ended up going to a sample sale and I 'm so glad I did. It was so strange because I was looking at so many pictures and I had a specific style in mind but when it came down to seeing them on me, it didn't quite have that feeling of "I'm a bride"

I had no intention of buying but completely fell in love with this dress and I could not imagine wearing anything else on the day of my wedding. So here is my dress

Looking at the model right now I would not even think of trying on this dress but I was really shocked that it actually looked good on me..lol I think I look better in the gown than the model..

I'm trying to debate now if it would look better if I had my hair up or down...My hair is quite long, pass my shoulder blades. I was originally thinking of having my hair half up and half down but I don't think it would suit with this dress. what do u think?

Ohhhhh that's such a nice fairy princess dress!    Hair up or down depends on your style and what "look" you are going for.  An formal updo will say "elegent ballerina" to me, a loose updo would be a lot softer for this dress.  You could also pull off the curls of half up and half down (I did it, loved it).

I think a loose curly updo would be the nicest, IMO.

yeah I think I will take some photos of me in my dress and sort of envision it with the hairstyle. But yeah when I have my hair trial I'm going to see the half up and half down then maybe do an up do with the loose curls.
