About Me: I am marrying my high school sweetheart 11 years after high school ended! I am a self professed shoe fanatic with a closet full of shoes and only two feet. Planning a wedding has been my fun project since he surprised me with a proposal in Paris. We are spending our last few months preparing for our big day by wrapping up all the small things, buying a house and best of all preparing to live together for the first time.
Gonna Dress You Up In My Love…

You’ve got style, that’s what all the girls say….
Ahh love old school Madonna! That was also the song that was going through my head as I ran to the dress shop for my final fitting yesterday at lunch. I was so excited to see how the changes I had made looked, and I wanted to see myself in the dress one last time before the big day. Here is a sneak peek of my dress:
***If for some reason my fiance has found his way onto here, STOP!!! Do not look any further! A small hint of my dress is below and I want you to be completely surprised on our wedding day, love you!

AHHHHH!!!! I love it! Now that my alterations are complete, I want to give the highest recommendation to my dress shop. La Belle Elaine’s in Seattle was superb! I originally ordered my dress back in November with a nice sales girl named Nikki. She was great and even put up with my friends that came along (long story). She was so good she even picked out this dress since I had orginally passed it by. Sadly Nikki left at the first of the year, but she assured me everything would be all taken care of. My dress was due to arrive in May, so when when it arrived a whole month early I was thrilled! The girls at the desk were always very helpful and every time I called the shop with a question, they were able to help me quickly.
I mentioned before that I wanted the back of the dress to dip down. The seamstress team at La Belle Elaine’s is a wonderful mother and daughter duo. They were both very helpful and I couldn’t be more pleased with the changes made. I’m leaving the dress there until the day before the wedding, and then Maria will press it and have it all ready for me to pick up. I would highly recommend the shop and getting alterations done by them.

Beautiful! I love the box pleats!
Even from the small preview…. it looks amazing… cant wait to see it all!
Gah, I love La Belle Elaine’s. I ended up buying my dress from a shop in Portland and having it shipped up here (I decided on the dress and then the store quit carrying it - as did all the other stores in Washington, apparently) but I really loved them. If I had an unlimited budget, I would have bought the Christos gown I fell in love with there.
