I was definitely not going dress shopping! I had a few dresses offered to me to borrow and of course, my sister's beautiful dresses were available. Why spend money on a dress? I was dead set against it. My wonderful best friend, Brittney, said "let's go dress shopping just for fun! Every bride needs to do that...you'll regret it if you don't." Then I tried on Tami's dress again....let me just say that working in a restaurant hasn't been good for my mid-section and Tami is WAAAYYY to skinny! haha
So I decided dress shopping couldn't hurt. I called my mom and told her I didn't want to do it without her...every bride's mom should get to be there when she steps into that perfect dress, right? We went last Saturday and had GREAT success!! Mom and I went to the shops in Rexburg first....nothing, really. One dress was absolutely gorgeous, right price, long sleeve jacket (since I am getting married in December, long sleeves would be great!) and a 30 minute minnimum time to get into!! Seriously, once they got you in it, they didn't want you out of it. The buttons on the jacket were extremely difficult to get done up and nearly impossible to un-do! They said they used a crochet hook to do it so we asked if we could use it. Their reply was, "Well, we don't actually have one in the store, that's just what they say works for those." GREAT!!! I'm never getting out of this dress!! No wonder it was still in the store. 30 minutes and a few choice word mumblings from both me and mom, I was free.
Then we met up with Brit and headed to Idaho Falls where we went straight to Heart's Tux and Gowns. We found this gorgeous vintage-looking dress and the minute I stepped into it, I knew it was what I wanted. Then we looked at the price tag and almost swallowed our tongues!!! I tried on a few others and they just weren't right. My mom said, "There was just that 'look' and it's gorgeous and it just screams your name." So, we swallowed our tongues and bought the dress. It really wasn't that bad of a price, actually. It's gorgeous and I feel beautiful in it! I'm so excited to wear it!!!
Anyway, boring post...no pictures and I'm sorry. I'll post some of my bridals soon. We're going home tonight to get them done tomorrow. I'm so excited!!!!

Yeah for finding the right dress. Isn't it amazing how you feel so special in just that one dress. Mike's mom made mine but I got to customize it however I wanted and it was perfect. Good Luck with all the planning.
I got my dress at Heart's too...Must be a good place! It's amazing after you find "the dress" every other dress you try on after that just isn't the same, no matter how gorgeous it is!
Anyway...I TOTALLY can't wait to see your dress. I'm sure it's GORGEOUS!! I'm so glad you found the perfect one! I am so excited for tomorrow! I've been looking forward to it since you first asked me! :) YAY!!
See you tomorrow! Love ya!!
