1st Dress Fitting

Today we had the first wedding dress fitting with Monica, the one who is doing the alterations to my mother's wedding dress. We told her what we wanted to do to modernize it and she said that she could do it all very easily. I'm so excited to finally know that the dress will be able to be altered to look modern and fit me perfectly! I'm so confident in Monica and I know it will look absolutely beautiful when she is done with it. She is going to take measurements and start altering late this summer when she finishes her sewing room in her home. For now I'm satisfied that everything is going to work out. Another good note: We bought a Spanks type thing to thin me in the dress and it worked very well. It made my waist line look so good. We also experimented with the length of the veil and decided fingertip length would be best to go with the dress. It was such a nice day! My aunts and cousin came to see the dress and give their opinions. We had a small lunch, chocolate cake, and mimosas! It was great girl time and I felt like the bride to be!

March Wedding Madness

With a new month comes new things to accomplish. This weekend mom and I went to Burlington Coat Factory and bought flower girl dresses. They had all their Easter dresses out, and we found some that were exactly what I was looking for. They are cream with purple flowers embroidered on them. They have a rose on the waist in the front and tie in the back. And the most adorable thing is they come with a dolly dress that is exactly like their dress. It is a perfect built in present! I'm so excited to have found these dresses!! They will look so pretty in the wedding on our flower girls!

This coming weekend we are also doing the first dress fitting with the girl who is going to alter my moms dress for me. Mom and I bought some fabric so we can get ideas this coming weekend as far as the alterations and veil go. I'm very excited to have the first dress fitting and get an idea of what the the final dress, my wedding dress, will look like...I can't wait! I'll have updates I'm sure, so check back soon!
