Mandy not matter what you wear you will be beatiful! I am just so happy for you both!
That comb is beautiful. What kind of veil are you thinking of wearing? Birdcage veil?
Thanks for compliment on the pic.
Lol you kinda freaked me out...Df would have fainted if I told him the minimum was $15,000!!! I think that is for Fri/Sat! And you are right about getting to keep my bouquet...but you made me think of something else.
My mom has this wonderful little leaded glass box that her dried bouquet sits in. I have always wanted one...but if I do silk then I can't.
So my mom and I decided to spend the afternoon together and go shopping. We started at JoAnn fabrics and amazingly came up with my bridal bouquet and my MoH bouquet (I think!!)
Then we decided to stop in David's Bridal just to look...well before I knew it we were picking out gowns to try on!! I never would have thought they had an open appointment on a Sunday afternoon in April.
I didn't like most of what I tried on...too heavy or poufy, just too much. I was suprised since I would have thought I liked that kind. I tried on a beautiful new gown they got in with a pickup skirt, but I hated it!
Here is my 2nd favorite...I can't find a pic on their website...also this is from my camera phone. I had a bra on with boning under it, so it looks a little funny.
Then came this gown...OMG my jaw just dropped. It was amazing. I don't need a bra since it has one built in and it just fit me amazingly! I want to drop about 15 lbs but I still liked the way it fit. I would have NEVER tried this on because I hated how it looked on the model, but I am so glad I did. I also tried it with this awesome feather clip for my hair and was just in love!!
Here is the picture from the website
I obviously have more shopping to do but I think we need to rethink our colors. I am not thrilled with the idea of yellow if my dress is ivory. I still like the green and pink but am not sure.
Oh other big news, we decided on Randy Chapman for our photography. I am going to put down the deposit tomorrow
Yeah I am not to good with the minimums especially since I went above and beyond much to the dismay of my husband. but hey we had the money for it and we decided if we are going to do it, lets do it all the way. I love the feathers for the dress. Its a very classic look.
I LOVE that feather hair piece!!
Hi Mandy!!
I just caught up on all the fun details from the weekend!! I absolutly love the second dress on you! Stop it witht he 15lbs...you look perfect, and I agree with Sam...MUCH better than that model . I really love the idea of the feather and bird cage! You're going to look so unique and beautiful!
That second dress is beautiful. It fits your body perfectly already...imagine how fantastic it will look once it is fitted. I love the feather hair piece too. Very classic.
You'll have to see the whole thing together!!
Aww thank you!! I really love that dress...I am going to have a hard time looking for something else!
So I shouldn't tell you that our $1500 vow renewal cost over $5200?
Dresses, floral, wedding party gifts, photography, shoes, jewerly spa services...I am making myself woozy so I won't go on
Mandy not matter what you wear you will be beatiful! I am just so happy for you both!
I definitely want to see the whole thing together!!!!! Although, you definitely need to try other things on because you never know if there is another dress that is even better! Where is that hairpiece from? It is so pretty
Disney's photography rule does suck. We are getting Randy for 7 hours; split up before and after, not sure on times yet. I am super excited that we will have him even if it's not for the ceremony.Thats great that Randy was able to do your wedding. How many hours did you get him for? I think Disney's photograpy rule kind of sucks.
Oh I can only imagine!It all adds up so fast!!!!
Not sure...my mom just asked me if I wanted to wait a while or make an appointment somewhere else.
This is the comb I want to wear with it!
It all adds up so fast!!!!
The hair comb is from David's too! I was suprised because I would NEVER have thought to go there!!
Aww thank you!! I have heard wonderful things about him too!Amanda, you look stunning in that second dress! The first one look great on you too!
Also, congrats on deciding on Randy. He will do a wonderful job. I've seen so many great things from him around here!
Wow I am surprised that that is from David's. I think my bad experience just makes me count it out all together. That just makes it that much easier for me to see it all together! We definitely need to go do that
WE JUST BOOKED RANDY!!!
