Wedding dress shopping!

So, we're getting into the details.. Ive been researching photographers (thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Keep 'em coming too, as we're still pouring over samples and trying to make a decision!) We've chosen colors (magenta/fuschia, with bright oranges and yellows for accent colors!) and now Im working on my wedding dress. I went shopping for the first time this past Saturday, at David's Bridal in Albany.

I met up with Mom #2, aka my New York Mom, aka Michele! We walked in and got right to work. A woman from JCPenney set us up with registry stuff and free gifts, as well as an entry into a drawing they were having. (I ended up WINNING, by the way, so I will be receiving a $100 gift card to JCPenney, wahoo!!) Then, I pulled out my list of Favorites from the David's Bridal website. Our consultant, Carrie, pulled a few off the racks and got me settled into my fitting room. Luckily, it was in a corner where we had some privacy and plenty of mirror space to check out the dresses!

I could go into all of the dress-trying-on details, but the most important information is that I narrowed my choices down to TWO options at David's Bridal! If you look at their website (www.davidsbridal.com) and search by Style#, check out V9458 and T9309. These were my absolute favorites and I really love both of them.. I left there thinking to myself that 9309 might squeak by as my #1 favorite, but after a few days, Im actually leaning more toward 9458. Itll be fun to try on some more dresses and see what comes of that! Im really excited because once I start working on my dress, then I can move on to the bridesmaids dresses and more of the nitty-gritty details.. the fun stuff! Woo! This is getting interesting... :-)
