I was originally thinking of waiting until my Mom came up to visit me in May to go dress shopping, but then I realized that would be less than four months before the wedding IF we found a dress. So I had a quick panic attack, and called her up so we could go dress shopping online together. The first place we looked was Alfred Angelo, and wouldn’t you know it (this is just like me) we looked tons of other places too, and this was the only site I found dresses I liked. Always at the first place, always. *shakes head*

I think this one was our favorite. Isn’t it pretty? I love the details! You’ll notice with all the dresses I’ve chosen, there is a little bit of pink. Even when I designed my wedding dress in college, I included color!

This one is probably the closest to the one I designed in college, except the bow was in the back. And the one I designed didn’t have a train. My mom thinks all these trains might not do so well with the outdoor wedding we’d like to have. I never thought of that…

I thought the detailing on this one was nice, but I don’t think my mom thought too much of it. She moved on pretty quickly to the next one when I told her to click on it, lol.

We both loved this for the flower girl’s dress. It’s got little flowers on the skirt! How adorable.

I think this matches the bride’s maid dress I designed, but I’ll have to go back and look. I don’t really remember. Ah, I graduated only 3 years ago, and the memories are already fading. I might have the maid of honor and one bride’s maid. If that is the case, one will wear a pink dress, and one will wear a grey one. Otherwise…I guess it will be up to my maid of honor which color she’d like. Hooray flexibility!

And then we found a site where people could create their own profiles and share stories and photos about their wedding. Of course though, I didn’t save the link. I’m so mad about that too. I think my mom did, so I’ll see if I can get it from her. Anyway, this one woman posted her hair picture and I FELL IN LOVE.
