Fits Like a Glove!

Last Saturday I had an appointment to 'accessorize' my dress at Priscilla's.

Going into the appointment I had 3 goals: Pick out a veil, pick out a headpiece, and look at their shoes.

Before the appointment Lindsay, my consultant at Priscilla's, informed me that my alterations were completed so I would get to see and try my dress on!! That was suchh great news!! I was so nervous to put the dress on because I remember from my first fitting, they pinned it soo snug! I mean I have been watching what I eat and I've made a bigger attempt to go to the gym more often, but still, I was terrified of that dress not zipping up!! How embarrassing that would be!!

Slipping into my dress, having it zipped up the back, it fitting perfectly, and then just looking at myself in the mirror made me so happy. It fit like a glove! And it was nice to actually see it fit my body and not make me look frumpy or that it was about to fall off.

I was so excited to go out and show everyone! I felt confident and I felt like a true bride! What made me smile even bigger was everyone's reactions. Mouth dropping, tears, smiles, and "wows." I felt like a true princess. I was so fortunate to have my mom, my sister, my other mom, and a couple close friends with me on such short notice!

Lindsay pulled a few veils and we started playing with the idea of chapel vs. fingertip etc. The chapel veils are gorgeous and so elegant, however I'm short haha, and also my train really isn't that long so the veils extended farther which made it look weird...we decided on a fingertip veil that really complimented the dress. We also decided 'yes' on the blusher! It's one tradition I definitely want my Dad to experience...lifting the veil, giving me a kiss, and then handing me over to my groom.

We then started playing with some headpiece ideas. I know I def wanted something sparkly and "bling" to compliment my dress but I didn't know what...I'm uncertain of how I'm going to wear my hair which made it more difficult to decide on a piece. Lindsay showed me a piece from the designer Haute Bride, which I loved! However...I'm not 100% and it was on the pricey side...so we decided to hold off on that!

I didn't find any shoes that really caught my attention....so the search for shoes continues! (I've now purchased and returned 3 pairs)

Even though it was a miserable rainy/windy day, I still had the best day ever!
