Hello everyone! Sorry its been so long since I've written. Shawn and I finally moved into our house and are loving being home owners! As I'm sure you can imagine we have been quite busy unpacking and whatnot. I did however shoot a video of the "house tour" so feel free to take a look. We plan on doing a bit more renovation to the house (not that it needs it we just want to change things for our own personal taste) which I try to explain in the video.
Also there has been a change in my wedding dress. I had originally put a dress on lay-a-way that I loved. But its been nagging me for the past few days that the bottom of the dress needed more. I was online the other day and an ad for David's Bridal was on the side bar and I LOVED the bottom of the girls dress. So I think that this is where that all started.
So I called David's Bridal to see what we could do to the bottom of my dress. I just felt like it needed an extra something I was looking for. They said that weren't sure what could really be done to it because of where some of the beading was, but to come in a see what options I had. Well it turns out they really couldn't do what I wanted to the bottom of my dress so they suggested maybe trying on a few dresses that they thought I might like. I tried on a few dresses but none of them gave me that "wow" feeling. Then my consultant asked me if
I had tried on any of the Cassini dresses. I hadn't, and I didn't have a clue who the heck Cassini even was and incase some of you don't have a clue either I threw in a tid bit about him Oleg Cassini is considered one of the most prestigious fashion designers in the world, Oleg Cassini is known for creating wedding gowns that are nothing short of extraordinary. The exclusive wedding collection features modern interpretations of classic styles, inspired by the dresses Oleg Cassini created as personal couturier to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Cassini's timeless dress designs have been the gown of choice for Hollywood legends from Marilyn Monroe to Renee Zellweger. Oleg Cassini wedding dresses are available exclusively at David's Bridal. The designer gowns are crafted from high-quality fabrics and lavishly embellished with opulent hand-beading, embroidered lace applique and detailed embroidery. The collection features a variety of styles, from elegant contemporary designs to vintage-inspired classics.
I tried on the dress and it was absolutely stunning! I loved the top of the dress. The bottom was ok it just didn't thrill me. My consultant said that she thinks she has a Cassini dress that is just what I'm looking for. It had the similar top which I loved, but the bottom was exactly what I had asked them to do to my original dress. (I'm hiding the details encase my nosy fiance decides to read this lol) It was AMAZING!!! I was absolutely speechless I can't even describe the feeling that came over me, and I started to cry! lol It fit like a glove. I felt like a princess. So needless to say my old dress was yesterdays news I wanted this dress, but I was afraid it was out of my price range. I looked at the price tag and was a little worried. It wasn't a ton of money but It was a good 500 more than my other dress. My consultant caught me looking at the tag and told me "Don't believe that price its on sale!!" The dress was actually 300 cheaper than the ticket price. That sealed the deal for me. On my last visit I had also bought a bra but this new dress already had one built in. So I returned the bar and took my other dress off lay-a-way and transfered the funds that I had paid for that over to my new dress. So all in all I only owe 200 more than I did on the other dress. I am so incredibly excited and have absolutely no doubt now that I have found my wedding dress! So I guess what Im really trying to say here is that feeling that they tell you you'll have is totally true. Don't try and "think you feel" its the one...you'll know! (The above picture is not my dress, but an Oleg Cassini magazine ad.
Oh and one more quick thing before I end this blog. I have to show you all what my best friend got me for Christmas this year! It's a wedding planner! It has our names, picture and wedding date on the front. On the inside is a quote she put it and it says "Some say the I do's are the best part; but it's the planning that gets you there!" The inside is filled with all kinds of things. Pages for the wedding party, Bridal gown, hair, shoes etc, honeymoon, guest list, rehersal dinner, photographer, wedding party gifts. You name it its pretty much had everything you could need to help plan every part of the wedding. Plus Its nice and durable so that I can save it and one day look back at all the fuss it took to put this whole thing together!
Thanks for reading!
Only 273 days until the wedding!
