It's BCBG and was something like 70% off the original price which is always nice. The design of it reminded me of something that would be on Project Runway (in a good way, of course.) The cut and color were perfect. Thank you to my mom for buying it for me.
I know the dress is usually kept a secret from the groom but I liked that Jeremy was there to help me pick it out - and zip it up. It kind of sums up what we're all about.
Another huge part of my outfit was the fascinator. It was custom made by an Etsy seller - Brenda's Bridal Veils. It was actually my first time to purchase anything from Etsy and it was the perfect experience. Brenda was able to create exactly what I wanted.
And one final note on the dress. One day as I was perusing the images on one of my favorite design blogs, Desire to Inspire, I came across this image. At first I was just looking at every detail and figuring out why this room is so perfect and then I spied it!
My dress is hanging on the wardrobe! But in grey!
first entry is up!! i think i have it on lockdown. it should be. any idea how i can add you?!
ReplyDeletewell done on the dress. it is gorgeous!! a friend of a friend had a backyard wedding and that dress.
my husband also saw my dress long before the wedding. mine was an online purchase (vera wang from bluefly for cheap) and i tried it on for him as soon as the delivery guy left. i'm pretty sure our marriage isn't ruined because of it.

Thank you, Caroline! Yes, it's always nice finding creativity at all in Oklahoma. :) It's there! You should check out Orangette (on my blog roll) - she's a food blogger from Oklahoma, now living in Seattle.
ReplyDelete@ Aura - Thank you! I loved that it pretty much blends in with my skin tone so I look naked. Naked with texture. Haha.
ReplyDelete@MC&H - Thanks, you! I wish you could've made it!
i am getting married in three weeks and i decided to keep the dres a secret. but it is so hard, because normally i love going shopping with him and I can't wait till he sees the dress. that's why we went shopping for everything else (shoes, underwear, his outfit...) together.
ReplyDeleteFenke - I think it is totally sweet to keep the dress a secret! I bet he'll be so excited to finally see it.
