The Bride
Sarah bought her wedding dress on Sunday, and we chose our bridesmaids' dresses as well. The wedding is Feb. 18, on a beach in Jamaica, so she (and we) needed something light and something that would travel well. It's difficult to find a wedding dress that isn't 1,232 layers and hot as heck. But luckily The Dress made itself known, and as soon as she put it on, we all knew it was the one.
Mary and I both had pretty firm ideas on what kind of bridesmaid dress we wanted to wear, and luckily our visions were pretty similar. I love what we chose.
Three years ago I went with Allison to this same bridal salon (New Natalie's*), and I remember so clearly sitting on the benches and watching her try on dresses, and it was the same sensation. When she tried on Her Dress for the first time, we all just knew it was the one.
Being surrounded by all the white and tulle didn't make me long for a husband or marriage, but it sure did make me long for a wedding. I wish there were a way to work that out. Anyone want to throw a wedding with me?
*If you live in Atlanta and are in need of a wedding gown, I highly highly recommend you get yourself to New Natalie's. Why pay three to four times as much at a boutique when warehouse-style NN has all the same dresses for so much less? It seems like a no brainer to me, but all those brides trying on gowns at Saks might not have gotten the memo.

I feel so honored to be on your blog! And I am so happy to have all of our dresses ordered - what a huge relief to find beautiful dresses that we all love. Six months and ticking!

The dresses look great! Will that celedon green be the actual color?
