I think I found a dress... but I'm not sure. I can actually picture myself wearing it and walking down the aisle. And it's the first dress I put on where I felt like a bride and not a princess. One of my BM's started crying like a baby (she's sweet). The only 2 things are.... it wasn't in white (it was offwhiteish/ivory) and I would need to see the white one which they don't have and would have to order after I say yes to it... and the other thing is it's COMPLETELY opposite what I thought I would wear. Which strangely is kind of what I love about it... no one would expect to see this dress! How did you guys KNOW when you found THE DRESS???
Do you have pics of what you tried on? I knew I loved mine when I saw a it on the Priscilla of Boston website. It was completely 'me'! It was the first one I tried on when I went there. I tried on a bunch more, and just knew that was the one. But I'm changing it up and making it my own. It comes with a white bow and long white ribbons, but I'm having them make me a huge purple bow and sash to match my bridesmaids. So that's really how I knew, I found a dress that was the shape and everything I wanted and then found a way to customize it to suit my different taste.
The first place I went to let us take pics... which was really great because dresses I thought we OK... or nice... we definately not good on the pics... and the one I didn't really think of... was soooo nice in the pic! So it gave me a different feel for it. But Klienfelds didn't let us take any pics... and so I don't have one. But I am going to Bridal Reflections this sat and I am going to look for that one dress I found in Kleinfelds and try to get a picture of it.

We chose the tuxes, but Mike still has to go get measured/fitted for his. Going to order the menus on Thursday/go over the programs. Did most of my slipper baskets today, just need to get more ribbon tomorrow. Have to fill my mint tin favors, but gonna do that much closer so the mints don't go stale. Once we get all the RSVPs we have to do the seating chart. Meet with officiant to go over vows and ceremony details. Finish BM totes. Do OOT boxes. Do bathroom basket. Ahhhh there's more, I know!!!

Men's Wearhouse in Plainview. We have a lot of OOT GM, so we figured it's the easiest way to go. I've heard mixed reviews, but the Plainview location is suppose to be good. They do a lot with prom, bar/bat mitzvahs, etc. and it's a high end clientele, so they assured us they would take care of everything. I've heard the main issues are sometimes they send the wrong sizes, etc, so as long as you warn your GM to try on the tux as soon as they get it, that way MW can send an overnight replacement if something is ripped or doesn't fit.
