Shopping for a wedding dress was interesting for me. You see, because we were having a brunch wedding I convinced myself I didn’t need a dream wedding dress, and I would be okay wearing a shorter cocktail dress (nothing wrong with short cocktail dresses) but deep down I knew I always wanted a Cinderella dress for my big day.
So one day on a trip to visit my mom in Nashville I said, let’s go to a boutique just for the experience of trying on wedding dresses. Knowing I would for sure find the dress of my dreams. While browsing through the dresses, nothing truly caught my attention. A lot of lace, a lot of white, and some interesting pops of color, nothing new. Now, my mom was on the other side of the store and she saw this dress and said why don’t you try this one on. When I walked outside and stepped on the riser and I looked in the mirror, I instantly knew this was the one for me.
She is a little heavy but not as heavy for a dress this size. The lace was so elegant it worked well with a daytime wedding and I can see it transitioning to a nighttime affair just as nicely.
I pray I have daughters and they can all wear this dress on their 15th birthday for their quinces.
You know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words so no need for more text, just look at her in all her glory.
