    2 months ago and I haven't gone to the bridal store to see it yet!!!  Part of me was nervous to go and try it on, like it won't fit or I won't have that same feeling!!  Don't get me wrong I love my dress, but it just makes me nervous!!  Is that weird, anyone felt that way when they're dress arrived?

    So I finally made an appt!  I'm going to try it on this Fri (10/30)!  I'll post pics when I go!  I can't wait for you all to see it!  But still IM NERVOUS!

    I was oddly nervous to go buy the dress and I felt crazy so maybe just wedding dresses make us do crazy things!

    Can't wait to see pics!

    Very exciting! My dress isn't in yet, but I have a feeling that I will be just like you and totally nervous when it does finally come in. I'm sure you will look just as beautiful in your dress as you did when you tried on the sample.

    Today was the day...I finally tried on my dress!!  Here it is...

    It is an ivory Jim Hjelm dress 8950.  I love it and it was worth the over the budget price!

    So the 3 photos I included...the dress with the mantilla veil (I actually bought from a fellow Bee), the hair fascinator for the reception, and my something blue necklace.

    The dress needs to be fluffed at the bottom (it was in the bag so its flattened a little).  But all my nervous subsided once I saw the dress!!

    Ohhh I love the dress! So pretty! And how do you get a veil like that to stay with your hair being down?

    Thanks bees!!

    Shegotchutzpah:  There is a clear plastic comb attach to the veil and it stayed, but I'll have to probably put bobby pins to secure it more!  The fi requested i wear my hair down...haha, doesn't give me many options!

    You look amazing!  Isn't it a great feeling to put on the dress and get the same warm, fuzzy feeling you had when you first tried it on?  Love the veil!
