ok girls...i finally did it! - updated with pics down below!

i went bridal dress shopping!

ps 10 months from today is my wedding day!!!!!

awesome

how'd it go. details please

Thats great! did you see anything that you like ...
And thats awesome Only 10mts. to go

Yay for you!! Did you find anything??

wooohooo! I am so proud of you
10 months!!! I am slowly approaching that too!

Well, I tried on some dresses that need to be left in the 80's.

ETA: I tried on these!


NOT my tastes...IMO

But I was surprised that I didn't look like a giant marshmallow - which was my fear.

I did try on a dress by Mon Cheri and I can't find a pic of it... It was ivory/rum pink with roses and it had a sweetheart neckline. the bad part...spaghetti straps... which I don't want.

But I head to Bridal Reflections to try on some Maggies next week.

big thanks to kissy - if anyone hasn't gone shopping yet, bridal garden is the best place to go for your 'first time'!!!!

Congrats Leese...on your 10 month mark AND on beginning your journey!

I am sure something will jump out at you. and remember, if you really liked that dress, they should be able to alter the straps for you!

enjoy it!

Yeah. They are looking into it with the seamstress. I think they could add a thicker stap...but I either like the off the shoulder strap or a sleeve attached... I'll see if i can find a pic of sleeves i like...

I just emailed you...I think I found the dress but I didn't want to post if it wasn't the one!

Yay! I found the dress that I sorta liked a lot (except for the straps).

I asked the store who said it was Mon Cheri and then I called Mon Cheri, got the style number and then googled it.

It was so flattering on me!
