AW: My Dress!! (Let's try this one again...) PIP

Not sure what happened with that last post I made on Friday. TK is crazy sometimes..

Anyway, my dress came in, and I was able to try it on to look at different accessories that I want. I was unsure of what kind of veil I wanted and if I wanted a blusher. I decided on a simple cathedral length veil with a blusher. I had my first teary-eyed kinda moment in my dress. I just finally felt like a bride! It started to feel real!!

The only issue I have is with the length. I am between 5'7" and 5'8", and the designer's website says that if you are going to be 5'9" or taller with shoes, you should order extra length. Unfortunately, my bridal consultant did not think to mention this and did not order extra length. I guess I should have thought of it at the time, but I was just thinking about all sorts of other things! It is kind of frustrating because I feel like it is her job to think of that sort of thing. It's not like I am 5'2" and want to wear 7" platforms! I am right close to that 5'9" mark. Anyway, I'm just going to have to return my current shoes and go on a search for cute kitten heels and flats! A little nervous that I won't be able to find them.

Well, that's all for my rambling :) Here are photos!!






YAYY!!! Is it September yet???

  • I am having the same shoe issues! I'm 5' 9" and we didnt order extra lenght, I'm plus size and already had to pay for the larger size so it would have been a double whamy on an already over-my-budget dress.  I am hoping to find a short wedge or cute kitten heel. 

    I think I may still have a pair of heels I love for a couple pictures.  The earing hanginf off the bakc of your heels for example.  I also love the shoes -vs- socks picture that is so popular, plus you hold your dress up to see your shoes in that pic so no one will know if the dress was too short for those shoes on not!

    good luck on your shoe hunt! And your dress is gorgeous btw

  • haha I wrote this the first time but, yeah, TK has been crazy stupid lately.

    Your dress is SO beautiful! That's a great check =)
  • Congrats!  I love it!  I'm 4'11".  They'll be chopping off over a foot of fabric!  That's with heals.
  • I love it!! It's so pretty! I'm wearing flats (well, boatshoes!) and I'm so excited to have comfy shoes on the wedding day. A blessing in disguise for you! :)

  • That dress looks so great on you!

    I agree with you, I think it should have been the consultant's responsibility to mention the extra length thing. But, what's done is done and if you're ok with finding a different pair of shoes, well, you get to go shoe shopping again! ;-)

  • That dress looks amazing on you! Good luck on the shoes, maybe it is a blesisng in disguise like a PP said and your feet will thank you at the end of the night. :) I'm exactly 5'9" with 3 inch heels so I ordered the regular length and just have my fingers crossed that it works out! lol
  • It looks absolutely gorgeous! While maybe not what you had in mind, wearing flats or kitten heels will be a good thing for comfort on the wedding day. Im 5' and have to wear big heels on the day, otherwise I will probably drown in my dress. I am already resigning FI to the fact that Im going to need a major foot massage after!

  • It should have been the consultant's job to notice and tell you this. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. You can wear flats at the ceremony and heels at the dance to raise it off the floor and you won't be caught in it and have it both ways. And you need to only deal with the bustle and not pay extra for the hemming. 
  • Very pretty!! I bet you will be able to find some really cute flats! :)
