It might be nontraditional, but Mr Pretzel did indeed pick out my wedding dress design. I had three equally amazing versions of my dress in my brain. No matter how I tried I could not pick one over the others. Lucky for me, Mr Pretzel didn’t have the same indecision—he loved one design in particular.
You weighed in and thought that Mr Pretzel chose Option 3.
Were you right? Without further ado…
Mr Pretzel loved, loved, loved Option 3: dupioni silk with lace overlay.
Whoa – color! You weren’t expecting that were you? Actually, I wasn’t either. I thought maybe a blush colored lace over the dupioni, maybe a warm gold lace, but as Mr Pretzel pointed out, I have some bold shoes paired with wedding dress. Remember these beauties?
His vote was for white lace over brightly colored fabric. I wasn’t convinced until I went fabric shopping with my FMIL and found some fabric which that a perfect match to my shoes. Score! When I draped a soft off-white Chantilly lace over the turquoise fabric, I caught my breath. Ummm yeah, Mr Pretzel was right.
Oh wait-there is more! Turquoise will also make an appearance under my skirt. Imagine a white petticoat with turquoise ribbon edge.
I cannot wait to see this vision become reality. I also love that we did this together. Mr P has never been a “I don’t want to see you in your dress until the wedding day” kind of groom, but I never imagine that he would play such a pivotal role in the design of the dress.
Did your FI have any say in your dress? Did you add color to your dress in an unexpected way?
Ahhh this is going to be so beautiful!! I love the pop of color!
this sounds amazing. I love color with wedding dresses- it makes it POP! Hooray!
It’s killing me that I can’t share my excitement of finding a wedding dress with my FI! I just purchased my dress over the holidays and having to keep it from him for 8 months is going to be hard but I know it will be totally worth it…although I wish my FI would be like Mr. P! haha
glad he chose the one I loved!!
i was RIGHT! i WIN! i TOTALLY win! oh wait, i guess others did too. anyway–pretzel, that dress is going to be so absolutely adorable and awesome (AAA), i cannot wait to see it.
I can’t wait to see you in this dress! It is going to be FANTASTIC.

O.M.G.!! I am freaking out right now over how much I love this. All of it: the dress design, the blue, the petticoat, the shoes. I am so freaking exciting to see it all come together!!

I love it! Seriously, I can’t wait to see the sash, the ribbon-edged petticoat and your fierce shoes all come together!

Yes, Mr Frenchie had a say in my dress… I showed him a bunch of different dresses I tried on and the direction I was going with my dress and he showed me, of those dresses, which one’s he liked… and I picked a dress I knew he liked

Mrs. Pretzel, Seattle Age and Occupation: 32 Learning, Training, and Development Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28 Manufacturing Engineer Engagement Date: September 2, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Catholic Church & The Engine Room at Georgetown Studios About Me: I’m just a thirty-something girl who never dreamed of weddings, poofy dresses, or ritzy receptions. I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married. Ironically, I had to go all the way to Seattle to find a boy from Purdue. We fell in love over Seattle Beers and cooking together. I love NASCAR, he loves Legos. I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.
