My Dress

Well, I not only found my dress on Saturday, I bought it too! I went to every bridal shop in Peoria and tried on so many dresses, but when I put this one on, I just know that it was the one. Also, the service at Country Bride, where I found it was excellent, which in my mind makes a major difference. Another bonus, the dress was only $450 after taxes, etc. So, here it is (disregard the little jacket/shrug thing). I would also like the mention that it is prettier in real life. Seriously, it is.

Woo Hoo on the dress. I LOVE gathering. It is the slimmingest-device out there. I was so thankful for it since I was only 12 weeks post-partum! I too think simple is BEAUTIFUL.

I didn't get to comment on the wedding post before, so here's what I think:

-the candy is great because it combines your favor and centerpiece in one, anywhere you can save money is great

-have the ceremony be what you want, it's your day, same with the tuxes

-the songs are hard to pick, I had my song with JR picked out forever and the song with my dad too, the other songs I decided on the day before the wedding:) There are websites that have lists of "traditinoal/appropriate" songs, maybe those could help.

-Flowers are expensive no matter what, have you considered silk? If you can find them on clearance (like after spring) you might be able to save a boatload. I had all silk flowers except for my bouquet and the corsages/boutenierres. Silk flowers have come along way and don't all look cheep/fake/chincy anymore. Even places like W@lMart have nice ones occasionally.

Email me if you have any questions, my email is firstname.lastname@us.henkel.com [and by lastname I mean new last name:)] I did a lot of the stuff for our wedding myself to save mula. I had a lot of random questions during my planning too and I got a lot of ideas from a girl I worked with who had planned her wedding just a few months before.
