Wedding Dress :)

Alright ladies and gents, here is the story of why I was my crazy O.C.D. self and got my wedding dress over a year before my actual wedding... Okay, so I have been browsing wedding dresses alot lately and have had lots of ideas, I love dresses, honestly they are amazing, however all the sites always have a size 2 model so you can NEVER tell how its really going to look, so anyways, last night I was showing my mom some of the dresses I liked online and I was saving my favorite for last. Then after I showed all the others I couldn't find it, I looked and looked, I typed in the style number, looked in the plus size and clearance! Nothing! I was in a panic, this dress was perfect for me, the gorgeous A-line shape, and the amazing side flower, I was so sad, plus the price! But I'll get to that later. So I immediately called Davids Bridal thinking if they at least had one in the store I'd be able to try it on and we'd go from there. I called, luckily they had one that they could at least clip me into and I could get an idea, I made an appointment before tonight just to be sure no one would buy it.

I had my appt for 6, so I texted Roy to see if she wanted to come and of coarse because she is the best she did, Jill had to work so she couldn't come with us unfortunately. So it was the first dress I tried on, and I loved it but it was a size too small so it didn't fit me the way I wanted it to but I could handle it with alterations, and I have a year and I swear I will be 2 sizes smaller than I am now anyways. Then I tried on a few more but nothing that I liked as much as the first one. Then the amazing girl that she was my consultant came back with the dress that she'd found in a bigger size. Let me just tell you, I had no intention of buying this dress today, I was just going to try it on and see what style I wanted. A-line is my style, its so amazing how skinny it makes you look! I loved it!

Anyways, I tried on the bigger size and I fell in love, it fit like a glove and was GORGEOUS. I knew, yep this is it. Its so fantastically simple that I love it, but it is still gorgeous. So not only was it my favorite dress, it was the ONLY one the store had left in my size, it was soft white (I don't want ivory) it fit amazing, and it was only $300.00! YES! My fantastic perfect dress was only $300.00! Because its being discontinued and they were having a sale. How is that not the most perfect scenario ever! I'm just so happy! It will need alterations so it will be more, but still you just can't beat $300.00. Its just awesome. So here it is, my gorgeous, perfect for my personality and laid back summer wedding $300.00 dress.



So I'm either going to add butterfly sleeves or wear some sort of shrug with it, but the dress is perfect, I'll post a picture of me in it eventually maybe, I'm just not the weight I want to be yet haha. But really I love it, its so flattering, I think I'm going to wear my hair down and curly and put a flower piece or a pretty comb in it to give it some spunk. I don't really like veils so I don't wanna wear one. I did try some on today and they were really cute so I might just have to rethink it, I just love my dress. Its perfect.
