Some might say I have some reservations about wedding dress shopping. And that someone might be ME. Wedding shoes, on the other hand, are a totally different can-o-worms. Those are bought and sitting in my closet waiting to be worn. They are perfection and I knew it without even having to try them on.
Anyways, I digress. This post is about wedding dresses and how I am more or less intimidated by them. Our wedding is September 28 and I have done the very minimum as far as securing the dress is concerned. I don't want to go look for a lot of reasons. The main one being that I do not like wedding dresses, just kind of in general. My sister and friends have all looked stunning in theirs, but when I walk into a bridal salon I don't think "ah, now this is IT". I mostly think "arg, so much white, don't know where to stop start". It also does not help that I don't really know what I want. I know what I like (see above) but they are all so vastly different! How does one come to a consensus? I am thinking it may be best to just work with a seamstress and build my own version Frankenstein-like out of bits and pieces of the designs that you see above. That also intimidates the hell outta me because you are basically saying OK lady you can do this, right? and they say right and then you say I trust you... Too much control is lost on some stranger. Am I being crazy?
The party and the upcoming official marriage is a lot more under control. Venue is secured. Fiance is feeling involved but not too involved. Band is under negotiations, flower meeting scheduled, save the dates conceptualized... The list goes on. BUT the DRESS. So much is put into this decision. I really am invested in clothes (ahem, that's why I started this blog) and what they say about your image. Plus that this is something that will be immortalized forever. What am I gonna do?!?!
