you guys will not believe it...i found my dress last saturday! i told you that i had already pretty much decided on my plan and that i was just double checking...well i am so glad i did!

i am dyyyyying to show you the dress but i can't because ivan reads my blog once in a while and he doesn't want to see it. but let me just tell you...it is perfect! it is exactly what i was looking for and i love it so so much. i can't wait to pick it up...i might wear it around the house. no, i won't...probably. 

i can however tell you what my previous plan was. remember the bridesmaid's dresses i showed you? i wasn't finding any shorter length wedding dresses so my plan was to get the strapless bridesmaid's in ivory and fancy it up with accessories. i still love that idea...so if anyone out there wants to use it you have my full support! i think it would look so pretty!

also, i can show you some of the dresses i didn't choose, haha. we took photos of all of them so i could look at them in photos as well as the mirror (surprisingly helpful!). so here are the dresses i said no to...
those won't be my shoes...but i am thinking peep toe. these dresses are nice but wait until you see mine! it is like 1000x prettier than all of these put together.

hopefully next week i can show you our wedding invitations. i plan on drawing them this week :)

  2. Y'know, I'm not one who gets excited about wedding plans but I am absolutely loving following yours! Every time you share something new your wedding seems like it's going to be even more wonderful each time. The bridesmaid dresses you've chosen are beautiful and I'm excited to eventually see yours. That's so awesome that you're making your own wedding invitations too. :)

  4. I totally agree with you.. I don't want to wear a long dress when I get married! Good to know that you found a beautiful one that is shorter. I can't wait to see it. I had been thinking (even though marriage is a ways off for me, lol) about doing the same thing with a bridesmaid dress.. why are there so many beautiful short ones for them but just a bunch of poofy princess dresses for brides?! haha

  5. The first dress is the one I had picked out for my wedding, until we married JOP style. My hope is to wear it when we renew our vows. :)

    I love your style!

  8. Hooray! I am SUCH a huge huge believer in short wedding dresses. I had a short dress two years ago and loved every second of it. You will be so absolutely stunning--I'm sure of it! Can't wait to see it. :)

  11. I'm so excited for you! I'm guessing your dress is similar to all the ones you said no to since they all have a similar look?! Oooh, I cant wait to see.

  13. EEEEE! This makes me soooo excited! I just found your blog about a week ago via TheDaintySquid.

    I'm also a bride to be and, although we haven't officially started the planning for the wedding (because it's taking place in 2012), I've been doing a lot of looking around for cute little ideas a such.

    Today I just found the perfect necklace and veil!
    I won't be looking for dresses in salons until August, but I've already got my eye on one.


    My Blogger right now is totally empty but now I'm thinking of using it to post wedding plans and stuff! :D

    Anyway, congrats! I hope everything turns out pefectly. :)

  18. Oh so you found your dress at David's Bridal?!?! That's where I'm headed on Saturday. And those dresses are adorable! It's the best place for short dresses. They have a lots. I have to say I love the first dress, especially if you put crinoline underneath...
