THE DRESS - JCrew to Project Runway to...finally...THE ONE
I started out with the JCrew dress, which I really did like. Except that it wasn't very forgiving (shows every single curve in your body--including those that you don't want seen). The price was right and the fabric was lovely, but in the end I decided I would have to wear Spanx (= HOT in June) and I'd still be worrying about looking good in the dress. I just didn't want to be stressed about how I look in my dress on my wedding day. So I returned it--can't do that with many wedding dresses. JCrew rocks!
Then I started working with Shirin Askari, a contestant on Project Runway who lives her in Dallas. She was great! But she was launching her new clothing line and I was having a hard time making any kind of decisions. I think I drove her nuts and I still wasn't happy (even though she is adorable and so sweet! And of course, talented).
But it was all meant to be because I recently stumbled on what I really wanted all this time and just didn't know it.
I'm a happy bride now. :)

The Veil
So I originally really wanted a veil, which my mom said she would make, similar to the one she wore when she married my dad. In the end, I decided against it. It was a hard decision. I love the lace and the look of the mantilla. But it didn't really fit the spirit of our wedding. I decided to leave the pics in here--though I'm going in a different direction, I still love seeing these gorgeous pics!
