good news: i found my dress! bad news: i didn't purchase today.
so here's the run down. we started at DB, and the dresses there were fine, but i didn't fall in love with anything. also, i'm very petite, but extremely busty- most of the DB dresses i couldn't wear because the top of the dress felt too revealing!
after my bridal appointment, my mom and i looked at BM dresses. I fell in love with a short strapless black dress with pockets- sounds funky, but is so cute! and, after trying it on myself, we had a wedding colors conversation- as you all know, i never truly decided on colors- and came to the black and whte conclusion! so, i'll do black and white, with bright multi-colored flowers. (we finished the day at the museum with that in mind, and i'm so excited now, i think it's going to be great!!)
next it was off to darlyns. i started with BM dresses there, and found a very similar black strapless dress as the one from DB. then it was on to bridal! i started with the maggies, but just wasn't crazy about the corset back on me. i narrowed it down to 3, and tried on one final one that i hadn't considered before- AND I LOVED IT! it has lace, beading, sparkle, is fitted- everything i was looking for! i can't remember if it was allure or casablanca, will post a pic asap.
my mom and i decided to sleep on it tonight, and go back on Monday (which is my birthday!) with my sister and grandmother, try on the 4 one more time, and buy! i know the last one is "THE ONE" and it's such a great feeling!
ok, that's it- happy fourth everyone! best wishes for safe and happy holiday!
