We Found It!

Aileen and I went around to some dress shops while I was visiting her in San Jose a couple of days ago, and we found it!

Like the engagement ring, I knew it when I saw it.





I am sooo surprised that I went with a strapless dress...the dress comes with attachable spaghetti straps, but I just can't picture it looking good with them!


We even found the perfect veil to go with it. :) It won't be this long...it will be custom-cut to half-way between Fingertip and Wrist-length...falling just under the detailing at the bottom of my butt. ;)



Looove the detailing on the train. Loooove!


Here are some pics I found on the internet:




Still trying to decide on whether to order this off-the-shoulder jacket. I'll try it on with the dress when I pick it up.


Ooof course now I'm a little worried about how the dress will fit with the rest of the stuff I had planned....if anyone can take a peek at my last big planning post and give me their opinions, I'd sure appreciate it!!


This was my previous #1 dress...unfortunately the shop was kinda snooty and wouldn't let us take any pictures when I had it on. I hadn't been 100% happy with the way my butt/hips looked in it, tbh. And I was not that thrilled with the puffy sleeves...I liked the off-the-shoulder look, but not the poofiness.



And this was my second favorite dress out of the dresses we looked at in San Jose. It's a Casablanca I think:



You can see the other dresses that didn't make the final cut here.


I'm currently in Bend, OR, chilling out with John's family. It's been super fun. It's been a great chance to spend some one-on-one time with everyone and do some bonding. :)
