After what may have been the most fast-paced and INTENSE dress weekend in Boston, I decided I better weigh the options without the influence of any champagne! I had found two dresses I loved, and I just needed to think. I was with my FMIL and two future sisters, and my Mom really wanted to hear about my top two choices before I made the final decision. The problem with the two options is that they were COMPLETELY different. One had a very romantic feeling to it, and the other was definitely more "stately" on me, if that makes any sense.
The first dress is Jim Hjelm 8657. I loved this dress, and we nicknamed it "The Kennedy dress"! I can't lie- I felt like Jackie-o:) The only problem with the Kennedy dress is that the pictures online are ONLY of the back!? What the poop?! I tried to show them to my mom and explain to her that it really was beautiful, but I just couldn't explain the dress. That same night, I logged onto weddingbee, and on the first page, Miss Penguin was wearing "The Kennedy dress"! At least I could show my mom one front picture- it wasn't a picture of me in the dress but it certainly was beautiful on you, peng!

And dress number two is the complete opposite! The second dress is actually one I didn't ever think I would love, mainly because it's more of an A-line than I thought I would like. I actually never even saw this dress before the dress weekend, so it hit me by complete surprise (AND it was significantly under my original dress budget)!
The detail of the dress is so pretty... it's very romantic, but it'll require some hefty alterations to make the dress a bit more snug in the bum, and more of a mermaid fit. I lovvve me some mermaid!*********
Champ.... if you're reading this.... I command you to STOP! (We command each other a lot- i.e. I command you to kiss me, things like that)
A little side shot. Too many big paper clips to get a real idea, but you get the general idea!
I promise I'll get some better pictures at my first fitting:)
The classic mirror shot..
And this is how I feel (and how I think every bride should feel) in "the dress"... a little intense, a little scary faced, but excited enough to skip right down that aisle (minus the dress clips, obviously)...
What's the look you want for your wedding day- romantic, stately, elegant?! Anyone else going to have major alterations to complete your perfect look?
