So, planning a wedding in 2 months is not as crazy as I thought it would be… but, everyone kept asking me when I was getting my dress. I had a lot of good excuses on why I waited so long… I wanted to find a venue first (this was our biggest challenge of the 2 month wedding, in fact, we agreed that if we couldn’t find a perfect venue we would be moving the wedding to next Spring.). However, after that was crossed off, I had the kids for 3 weekends in a row, and we had a lot of things going on every weekend. So, FINALLY, 2 weeks ago I did find a dress! I had a lot of friends worrying I would run out of time, but… nope, I found it! And, here is a photo of me seeing it on for the first time. Is it crazy to fall in love with the FIRST dress you try on? I did! If it makes you feel better, I did try on one other dress, but it just did not compare. I love the pick up in the skirt, so this is why I decided to go with this dress.
Here is the back. Originally, I was going to go with a cocktail dress with a short skirt. But, then I realized I wanted to do photos at the park… It would be October and I get cold easily… then, I started looking a wedding gowns online… Oh, darn. I talked myself out of that cocktail dress and into a beautiful wedding dress! How do these things happen? I am sure Brian will be happy with my decision. Brian, you better not be reading this! The dress does have a short train, which I will leave down for the ceremony. But, for the park photos and the reception, it’ll be bustled up.
Here I am with a fingertip length veil on… I am still trying to figure out how I will have my hair done. I didn’t have time for a trial appointment, SO I am hoping they can put it up in a cute way… I am going to try to find some photos of up-do’s I like. I went back and forth on the veil, but decided to go with it. Now, I just need to figure out my jewelry.
My shoes, they are 2″ bridal wedges.
Oh dear. I wanted to die. They made me ring a bell while everyone clapped, because I had found ‘my’ dress. I wish I could have skipped this part.
How the dress will look bustled
One last photo for your pleasure 
Hoping to have pics of Autumn in her flower girl dress up soon. The skirt on her dress matches mine, in that it is a ‘pick up’ skirt.
