Over thinking.. love to drive myself crazy

Well today after having a blast with my girls yesterday looking at dresses. I decided to look at more, ya know.. to make myself and everyone else nuts. I found four other dresses I like. Ugh. Whyyyyyy do I do this to myself lol. I'm sure my girls hate me lol. I made another appointment to go check these dresses out. They are by Alfred Angelo, so we have to go a a Bridal Shoppe by my house to see them. So we are going next Wednesday. I'm secretly hoping I hate them in person! Please! Please! Please!!! I think the first and last ones are my favorite of these four.

Bridesmaids!!!

Sunday afternoon me and my girls had a appointment at David's Bridal to pick out bridesmaids dresses! We had a blast! We decided on two! My matron of honor and maid of honor will be wearing the Strapless Dress with Cuff Neckline and Corset Back Style F15429 in the color BEGONIA with a sparkly black sash to accent them and make them stand out a little more. All the rest of my bridesmaid will be wearing Satin Gown with Side Drape & Brooch Style 8567, also in the color BEGONIA! I am so excited and my girls looked so amazing in the dresses. I let them chose which ones they felt the best in and they did a great job! Our consultant person who was supposed to help us, was pretty much NO help at all. We did everything our selves pretty much. Lame. She didn't even measure my girls so they had no idea what size to order, so they are going to just come back a different day and order their dresses.
These are the two we are going with! First is my matron and maids dress [without the black sparkly sash] and the second is my my other bridesmaids dress. <3


I did like this one but my bridesmaids didn't care for it too much lol. They were calling it the "fairy dress" lol

It probably would have been better maybe in satin? the chiffon on the botton was almost shiny? idk it was weird. But pretty.

My cousin Chauna in the "fairy dress" lol

Jenna in the dress we chose for her as my maid of honor, although this one was a little big for her.

We LOVE the corset back on it!

Showing off their "assets" lol

My girls are going to look so HOT for my wedding!! I can NOT wait!!!!

Well after my girls picked out their dresses, we decided to hit up another Bridal Shoppe and check out wedding dresses for me. Some of them were upset they have seen ME in a wedding dress yet, since I only invited Mary and Jenna to help me find my dress (Although Jenna couldn't make it). So we went to this little boutique, of course they didn't have the two dresses I have been going back and forth on, so I let my girls go nuts and pick dresses out to put on me lol. There was no consultant just a little old lady who said I could try them on as long as we don't drag them on the floor lol. So my girls had to help me get in and out of the dresses. Started off okay, then turned into a disaster lol. They had my all tangled up in the laces, we were dying laughing so hard, my matron was rolling on the floor. They ended up knocking a sequin piece off a Maggie Sottero! Broke the zipper off one of the bags, and broke a hanger! Just when I thought these girls might have a career as a bridal consultant, they prove me wrong! We high tailed it out of that store, asap. I'm sure we can NEVER go back there again! Although we had a blast, laughing, and making fools of ourselves lol.

Wedding Dresses!

Yesterday, I tried on wedding dresses for the first time EVER! I went with my mom, my Matron of Honor. I tried on soooo many beautiful dresses. I walked in thinking I was going to be a Maggie Sottero bride, and the ones we LOVED on were Mori Lee! I didn't love the Maggie dresses on as much as I thought I would. I tried on the Ambrosia and Sabelle. They are both beautiful gowns, just not "the one" for me. I'm still going to a few more places just to make just the ONE I have been stuck on is really "THE ONE"!! lol
