I am SO excited. This weekend will be my first time shopping for bridal gowns. My mom lives in San Fran and I’m in DC and my Maid/Matron of Honor and a Bridesmaid or Best Man live in NYC so we’re all convening in NYC for some shopping! I can’t wait. I feel like it’ll finally make this wedding seem “real”! And I’m so excited to see my mom, she hasn’t seen my ring yet (we’ve been engaged 3 month!) and I’m an only child so this means a lot to her, and me!
Sorry I’ve just been so busy it finally hit me that it’s all real and it’s happening THIS weekend! I’ll try and post some pictures (if allowed) when I get back! YAY!

Good luck! Dress shopping is fun but can be stressful so don’t let it get to you 🙂 I couldn’t find a dress I really LOVED so I was getting really stressed out and almost stopped enjoying the experience. I finally did find my dress so it all worked out!

Good luck!!! Dress shopping can be so much fun as long as you don’t let your head get in the way too much. A few tips that helped me on my dress hunt;
1. Try on at least one dress that you might not have picked on your own. It may surprise you and give you ideas about the direction you want to go.
2. It seems obvious but, wear a strapless bra and if you have them bring spanx. It’s amazing how much spanx can help with clean lines.
3. Have fun and smile when you look in the mirror. Smiles are infectious. Everyone will be happy that you’re happy.
