Wedding Dress Shopping!

My wedding isn’t until September of 2026 but a local boutique was having sale so we knew we had to go. The sale was $1000 for dress and vail BUT it had to be a dress they had on the rack. I loved the last dress and would have left with it but it was 4 sizes too big and my seamstress wouldn’t have been able to take it in that much.

Going in I definitely thought I’d want a plain silk dress but now I am leaning toward sparkle. I don’t plan on buying a dress until around September of 2025 so I had no intention of buying a dress that day.

This has me so excited to continue this process and I truly can’t wait to marry my fiancé!

... Read moreWedding dress shopping can be both thrilling and overwhelming. It's an important step in preparing for your big day, and understanding the process can help ease anxieties. Many brides-to-be start by researching different styles online, gathering inspiration before visiting bridal boutiques. When choosing a wedding dress, consider your unique style and how you want to feel on your special day. While browsing, pay attention to various fabric types, like silk and lace, as well as embellishments, such as beads and sequins, which can add that sparkling touch. Don’t hesitate to try on dresses that might not match your initial thoughts; sometimes, a style you didn’t expect can end up being the one you love the most. Also, keep in mind that getting the right fit is crucial. If a dress is too big, alterations can be challenging, so it’s worthwhile to consult experts about what adjustments can be made. Additionally, planning ahead is key! Set a timeline for your shopping to ensure you have ample time for fittings and adjustments. The excitement of choosing the perfect dress should be accompanied by thoughtful consideration. Remember, enjoy the journey and cherish the moments spent with loved ones during this special time!

Dresses I tried on and said no to & why! ✨ No. 1 was a pretty dress, but it didn’t necessarily make my jaw drop. Not the biggest fan of tulle so I just knew I would find something I’d love more than this. ✨ No. 2 made me feel like I was 15. Way too youthful and dainty with the floral app
