Wedding Dress Extravaganza

after we left rick and Anna's house we stopped at a bridal shop to look around. i wast planning on trying anything on i just wanted to get some ideas. i hadn't realized how late it was so when we got there we were on a 10 minute time frame. i hate being rushed so i went inside real quick to describe a dress i had seen online to see if they had anything similar. they said i could look real quick. as i rummaged through the bulky dresses i was thrilled when i found the EXACT same dress i has seen online. i went back up to the front and told them i found THE dress ive been looking for and begged for them to let me try it on. i persuaded them when i said i didn't need any help and ill do it real fast so with 3 mins to spare i rushed to get the dress on. i came out and all the ladies ooohed and awed and asked if nathan wanted to see it, i told them he was in the car with the kids but the suggested that they get him and he just come to the door. i agreed. so nathan came to the door and i walked out, the look on his face was priceless. he said how gorgeous i looked, he was kind of a loss for words. i cant really say it was THAT dress that did it for him i think it was just seeing me in a wedding dress for the first time. 

after i saw the huge selection they had i decided to make appt. for the next day. i only invited my mom and Nathan's mom because i didn't want all the commotion. unfortunately joyce was unable to make it cause she was babysitting which was a bummer but i was happy that my mom made it. it happened to be mothers day as well so it was extra special for her!

below is THE dress. it didn't end up being MY dress but i still love it! (the pictures dont do any of these justice)

you will notice that i only like the sweetheart necklines. i love how elegant and vintage they look. 

 talk about curvy lol. i was happy that most of the sample sizes fit me. 

 this is the lady asking me what i thought. i will be getting two dresses (not at the same time) the one for the wedding will be very simple, not much beading. any accents i want to come out in the dress shape. i am getting married on the farm outside so i want something fairly modest and simple. i loved this one. when i found out it had pockets i said i was sold LOL

 same dress

 loved this one to. a good mix between modern and vintage

 loved this one to but not for the wedding

 my other dress with be for the reception. the reception dress will be MY dress. the wedding dress isn't going to necessarily look like the dress i would have picked if i was having the wedding and reception together since i want it so plain to match the destination so i will definitely have a elaborate reception dress. i loved this one. me squeezing into this 3 sizes two small dress was like squeezing a sausage into its casing, it wasnt pretty lol still love the dress though. unfortunately its discontinued so i would have to buy this dress off the rack which cant happen since its way  to small to fit in it as is and to small to get it fitted to me.

my mother loved this as a reception dress. i like this dress but its just to cute for me. i prefer something more edgy to fit my personality and personal style. i'm not one to play it safe and this SREAMS safe!!

i tried on about 15 dresses but didn't take pictures of them all. i made another appointment for this thursday to go with my mom and joyce to show them my favorites and maybe try more on. i will make some  appointment else where but i really need to hurry with the decision. already i have to buy off the rack since were on such a time crunch!
