Wedding Decisions: The Dress

Well, my planned tradition of showing you three choices for each wedding decision is going to have to be suspended for this one. You weren't really expecting photos of my actual dress, were you?! The groom reads this blog occasionally, y'know...

But I MUST say that the women at Sweet Elegance Bridal were wonderful and amazing. After a few trips to a wedding dress show, an unsuccessful attempt to go to Bride Beautiful (though I hear they are beastly here. And closed on Wednesdays? Random!), and a near-buy at Bridal Sense, SEB is what I had been looking for and didn't even know it.

They don't let you look at the gown until it is on and you are in front of a mirror, on a pedestal, in a flatteringly-lit area. Thought this was a little bossy, but actually turned out to be a great way to first judge the gown. They had a great sitting area for my mom, and were genuinely nice. They also have crazy, right-off-the-runway dresses, which were just plain fun to try on:

Kinda like this :)

(Quick advice to other brides: Don't judge a bridal shop by its website or even location and building appearance. Go in.)

And without further ado...

here is a picture...

Can't wait for you all to see on May 14, 2011... :)
