THE Dress


As you know from before, I found a dress that I loved in a wedding magazine.
I tried it on and I knew it was the one. My Madre knew it was the one.
My friendoodle knew it was the one.
It was the one!
the back is the best part!
what a beautiful dress!


We decided to get a Muslin to avoid high costs of alterations.
A Muslin {if you don't know, I know that I didn't before the whole process} is basically a mock up of the dress. The seamstress takes your measurements and then has a dress made to fit you. After that you try on the Muslin and they make any other alterations needed and then they send the Muslin to the makers of the dresses and they make a dress to fit me.

My Muslin came in in July.
the muslin!
wow it was soo beautiful!
super excited!
bootylicious!
look at my mom!
it had to be taken in just a tad :-)

sooo pretty! I would be have been happy with this as my wedding gown! :-)
The Muslin went out and then in January the dress came in!
I made my plan to drive up with Sweeter for my first fitting.
I brought two lovely ladies from my bridal party, their Madre's, my Junior Bridesmaids and their Madre and of course my Madre!

I saw my dress and it was magnificent! 
It reaffirmed my thoughts and feelings that it was the right one for me!
I can't even describe in words how excited I am to walk down the isle to my Sweeter in it!
I asked my gals to bring their BM dresses so we could see the whole thing together.
It looks great, I am so excited!

seeing the dress for the first time
we were practicing bustles

how gorgeous!
my gals!
2 of my most favorite people in the whole world!


so pretty!!
trying it on with the hair
And with my spray tan...haha

Yesterday was our wedding day.
I cannot tell you all how Happy I am!
I hope you all have a wonderful day!

We are driving back home on our holiday off!
What a surreal weekend!
I am ecstatic!

I cannot wait to show you all of the pictures from our special day!
Thank you all for listening/reading all about our wedding plans!
