Now this, hands down, has been my favorite thing! Yesterday my mom and I went to I do I do Bridal Boutique in Athens for me to narrow down the style of gown I would like. I tried on eight dresses and I narrowed it down to two looks. I would describe one as "romantic" and the other as "glamorous". They are different, but they are both beautiful and I truly felt like a bride in both of the dresses! I also determined that I am not a veil bride. For the longest time I thought that I wanted a cathedral length veil and that my dad would lift the front piece after he gave me away. However while standing there yesterday, with each veil the associate put on me, I turned each one down. It was almost as if the veil took away from the feeling of each dress. Granted I could change my mind, but as of right now, no veil.
And that is that.
Tonight our house is a "wedding free zone". There will be no talking about it, no looking at photos. Nada. While yes, talking about the wedding is important, I don't want that to be our focus every.single.night. So after work I'll be picking up a bottle of wine and heading home to make spinach mushroom risotto and curl up on the couch with the mister!
We are about 99% sure on what venue we want....can you guess which one?? See y'all tomorrow for Thursday Tidbits!
Oh my goodness girlfriend you have a ton of stuff done and/or started already!! Awesome job!! There's of course PLENTY more to do but you're off to a really good start! & don't put too much pressure on yourself to not have a convo about wedfng stuff just yet. There will come a time where you really don't want to talk about it or it just comes natural. You're only 2 weeks in so you're allowed to be excited & talk about it!!
ReplyDeleteKeep the wedding stuff coming...SO fun to read about! And you living so close to my city makes it even more great for some reason, ha! I have been reading your blog since you first began posting at "a table for one" so even though I don't know you, I'm still excited to read all about your new journey as you enter this new season of your life. I can not even imagine a prettier bride than YOU are going to be! That fiance of yours is getting a great girl, for sure!
