Hey, everyone. I went wedding dress shopping (and bridesmaid dress browsing) for the 1st time at Davids Bridal on Saturday. I was really nervous but it was so much fun. I did find a dress that I absolutely fell in love with. I felt so great in it, and its retro so it fits the feel of the wedding. It does need some taking in at the top but other than that it fit perfectly. People kept complimenting me, which I think is a good sign too.
I also tried it on w a retro style birdcage veil, which is the style I want. Thank goodness, the veil looks good on me and with the dress lol
Here are some pics:

the dress. has ruching all over the front and back.
comes with an adorable short sleeved bolero jacket with stand up ruffle collar.

the veil

me with the moh and bridesmaid (the other bm couldnt make it)
please please tell me what you guys think! my bridesmaids loved it.
i felt so great in it I didnt want to take it off lol
its a bit out of my price range, but still only $400 so I am determined to save up for it now.
we found knee length gowns for them also with some ruching so they are all cohesive but not too matched.
thanks!!
