The dress I ended up picking for our city hall ceremony was… (drum roll please)…
The JS Boutique dress from Nordstrom.com (Dress #1)
Don’t worry – I wouldn’t wear those shoes with it.
I spy with my little eye… a mischievous puppy.
I really liked the David Miester dress too (Dress #3) but when I got it an tried it on, it just didn’t look good. See?
It felt a little big on. Like potato-sack-y big. And the bow was awkwardly low. Perhaps I just needed a smaller size, but I found the JS dress shortly thereafter and that was it for me.
Here are the blue shoes I decided on:
Next up, I’ll show you my DIY accessories for the civil wedding.
Are you having a civil ceremony? How hard was it to find an appropriate dress to wear?
I wore that same dress to my town hall wedding and loved it. Looks great on you, congrats!
I am having a civil ceremony at city hall but I haven’t decided on what dress to wear yet since I have some time.
Glad you picked my favorite!
Very pretty!! And I agree, it’s 10 times more flattering than the other one.
I looooove your shoes!!! What brand are they/where are they from!?
OMG. It took me forever to find a dress. I think in the end I decided on — and then went back on — 3 dresses. So I was a 4-dress bride. I managed to return one of the 4, but I still have the other three hanging in my closet!! Your dress is super cute!
Kind of…two weddings anyway. Couldn’t find the perfect second dress. Well, I did but it was sold out.
Nice dress! You look gorgeous in it! I’m glad you found something you love 
I love this dress on you, the cut is so flattering. Much better than the other option.
Wow…that’s the dress I bought for my wedding. It’s still in my closet with the receipt because I can’t decide if I like it well enough or not. But it looks soooooooo much better on you than me.

Mrs. Jellyfish, Pleasanton, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Law Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Air Force Pilot Engagement Date: February 21, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery About Me: In a nutshell, I’m the most optimistic worrywart you’ll ever meet. My family emigrated from Romania to San Jose, CA when I was 8, and I've been a Nor Cal girl ever since! My fiancé is also a Bay Area native, so it’s funny that we met at UCLA, as college freshmen living on the same floor (go Bruins!). Between his career as an Air Force pilot and my path to becoming a lawyer, our relationship has been anything but typical. We currently live together in Berkeley with our puppy Stinson. In addition to spending time with the loves of my life, I enjoy crafting, attempting complicated recipes, environmental law and non-law school reading (Us Weekly, anyone?). Follow along as I plan an elegant 200-person winery wedding, graduate law school, take the Bar exam, get married and get used to the always unpredictable but never boring life of a military spouse!
