First Dress Fitting

March 10th, 2006 @ 11:08 am by Mrs. Firefly

I had my first fitting at Mark Ingram’s Bridal Atelier. The ladies at the store are so nice… although they did make me take the dress off eventually.

I also tried on a few veils and I think I will go with a simple fingertip veil. They had one for around $200, but the veil I want is so simple, that I think I can get it for much less online. The Jimmy Choos match the sash perfectly! But the ladies said I can’t switch into ballet slippers when my feet hurt; I’ll destroy the dress; I’ll need to get something comfy that gives me a bit more height.

… to be honest, I loved (loved!) the dress in person, but don’t love the pictures;-(. Maybe I’ll need to do something different with the sash and I definitely want to lose 5-10 pounds (although the skirt fit perfectly and the top had to be pinned).

Here is a teaser picture.

Love your dress! I wanted to get a sash on my dress, but it just wasn’t working with my favorite style.. losts of lace.

Did you decide how you’ll fix your hair and veil? I don’t know if I should have it go over my hair or under the bun in and updo.
