Dress Shopping
Well I went dress shopping yesterday. We were gonna check out a couple places. Ended up spending most of the time @ David's Bridal. There I found 3 dresses that were definite contenders. A lace covered one (which had pearls...not happy about that one) an embroidered one and one that had red accents on it. IT should have been a no brainer. I've always wanted to get married in red and I don't want pearls in my wedding at all. So why did i even consider the lace covered one? Cuz it's GORGEOUS! It is so pretty and it reminds me of my Mama's wedding dress so much! It made me feel pretty and elegant. but it's about $150 more than the red accented one (the embroidered one is the same price as the lace one...it's not as stunning but I like the cut...it's very flattering on me)
The red one would fit PERFECT into the clean lines we have going for us so far. It's definitely the most flattering to my figure...except that it's strapless. Which means starting today I'm working on my arms. I hope I can get them into decent shape for the wedding. I can always try and get something to drape over my arms like a shawl or something I suppose.
Here's the other dilemma. I think the lace one would match my grandmother's veil which my aunt suggested i borrow from my Papa...and I don't think it would match the one with red accents...but i don't have to use my Mama's veil if i get the one with red cuz it's so much cheaper I could get the coordinating veil with red trim.
Anyway I have until Monday (tomorrow) @ 1pm to make my decision. I've gotten feedback from some of my friends...they all pretty much say the same dress (I won't say which yet) and I'm leaning towards that one myself...i think i may have to try them on one last time before I make the final decision. And once I do that...it's workout and diet time. I don't have any preconceived ideas I'm going to miraculously lose 50 lbs before the wedding, but it would be nice lol.
I have much more to say about the whole experience, but right now I'm missing a football game *hugs*

you sound so much more enthused(sorry about the spelling) about the red dress. I would say go with it. You say the lines fit, the dress goes with what you were looking for, and it was the most flattering. I say, get the red dress and matching veil, borrow your grandma's handkerchief instead, and go start pumping iron.
:P
