Mrs. Turtle's Picture
Mrs. Turtle, Central California Age and Occupation: 21, Art Student/Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, English Student Engagement Date: August 16, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Mr. Turtle's Grandparents' backyard, Arroyo Grande, CA About Me: I am a California girl who loves the beach and the mountains, but is quite satisfied living right in the middle where I can enjoy the best of both worlds. I am happiest when traveling to faraway places, wandering through museums, watching old movies, or baking up a storm. Mr. Turtle and I are high school sweethearts and fellow book nerds who both drive Mini Coopers and are most likely to be found browsing in antique stores. We're having so much fun planning our European garden wedding with a vintage twist and can't wait to share more of life's adventures together!
About Mrs. Turtle

As promised, I will not torture you by dragging out the bridesmaid’s dress saga, like I am doing with my wedding dress search! Like many of you guessed, I chose the first dress I posted, designed by Watters.

This dress was the first one I fell in love with after becoming engaged, but don’t think that means it was an easy decision! I over-researched and over-analyzed as much as ever.

First, I visited the dress in person and tried it on myself.

But that wasn’t enough. Next, I brought my MOH into the store to try it on.

I think she looks gorgeous! And she liked it a lot, too! But this was still not enough for me. I dragged her to another store to try on a bunch more dresses, and then had another one of my bridesmaids try on the Watters one. After some more analyzing and going back and forth, I realized that I had been stalking this dress for all this time for a reason: It’s perfect!

We ordered the dresses in the same colors as the sample (ivory and quarry) and I am totally excited about them! I think they fit the style of our wedding really well and will look stunning with all of the pink flowers!

What do you think? You like? I hope so! Because this is a done deal and there’s no going back now!

Did any of you obsessively research bridesmaid’s dresses only to go back to your first love, like I did?

I thought picking bridesmaid dresses was one of the hardest thing. Cute choice, I saw those dresses in a bridal store and almost bought one for myself for the rehearsal.

Oh, that is my absolute favorite dress! It didn’t go with my wedding but I thought about getting one to wear for other occasions, I love it so much!

That was my favorite dress! Great choice! I actually didn’t obsess at all.. quite the opposite! My only BM is my MOH, so it was really easy to tell her to pick out any dress she liked. She tried on dresses the same day I picked out my wedding dress, long before my FI had a vision for the wedding. The dress my MOH picked was a sample that only came in red, so that’s how I ended up with my red and ivory color scheme!

@mrskesslertobe: @lindsey316: @Carbon Girl: @Ells415: I love that all of you want to wear it to our rehearsals! Ever since I got engaged, that’s been my excuse every time I buy a cute dress! (I’ll be doing a post on that later…)

@Kippie: Thank you! :)
