My (New) new dress!

olivehim · October 2010

Well...I finally gave in to my insecurities. Not in a bad way - it was meant to be! I was having doubts about my first dress from the start. As much as I tried to shake the feeling and tell myself that everyone experiences that from time to time, I couldn't get past it and I went out looking again. My mom was with me this time (she wasn't there when I bought the first one) and it was such an amazing experience! I had never even seen this dress before. I went in trying on all the other dresses I was interested in and then I saw this one on the "new arrivals" rack. I tried it on and by the second time I put it on, my mom and I knew it was it! It fits in perfectly with our vision of the day. I've held on to this "inspiration" card that I've had since starting the wedding planning process a year ago (just a Papyrus card I saw at Target - see photo) and it's almost eerie how much the details of the dress resembles the card!
The pics obviously aren't of me but the sample was like 5 sizes too large so it didn't look quite right on me...yet. I'll probably add some jewels to the sash at the waist (to match the flowers - you can't really see but each one has a crystal at the center) and other than that it's just perfect!! Yay - now I can finally sleep again!
