Let me start by saying I love my wedding dress (some days).  I go try it on, feels snug.   I go back LOVE IT.   Then final fitting with full on dress rehearsal, veil, shoes, bustle up… HATED IT.   I think I am going to have to sneak in another try on for my bridesmaids when I get to North Carolina.  

It’s really crazy because I absolutely love my dress.   Even when I’m not feeling it 100% on me, I still love it.   On my wedding day, I know I will love it and feel grogeous.   Because when I tried it on I just knew.   Also did I mention that it feels like it weighs 100# when I’m carrying it.  Good thing it doesn’t feel like that when it’s on :)

Advice for buying a wedding dress.

1) don’t let someone else make the final decision
2) go with your gut, you just know when it is THE ONE!
3) accessorize… I was not going to do a veil, but then I put it on an VIOLA, it was like I was transformed into a Princess

2) Thought I had a videographer… they have gone MIA

3)  Forgot to add my fiance and myself to the number for dinner.  That is a big ol DUH!

4) Return shoes that were too big, and had ordered same ones online.   They haven’t showed up yet

Good news:

I can still add to my guest list… yeah.   Also, just found out my shoes will be in today!  This is great since my final fitting is tomorrow.   I also found a great place to get the flowers I wanted.  www.flowers-by-design.com  Plus I have a buddy who does resale, so since I was ordering in large quantity they were able to get me the wholesale pricing.

Oh and since this past weekend was labor day, got to the beach for a little sun :)   All and all I have decided everything will work itself out.
