Just Mauied: The Dress

August 1st, 2010 @ 4:45 pm by Mrs. Dolphin

As I start recaps, I have to let you know that I’m probably not going to go in order of how things happened. I’m a “talk about what I wanna talk about” kinda gal. For the most part, things will be in order, but I may throw in a few honeymoon recaps here in there, as if our amaze-balls honeymoon video wasn’t enough. :)

Where to start? I mean… how do I truly recap such an amazing day in our lives and truly give it justice? Let’s start with THE DRESS.

You know what I’m talking about… the dress that many TV shows are ALL about helping you find. The first thing that people ask you about when you say you are getting married is, “Well, have you found a dress yet?” It is the one thing that I stressed about for months before choosing the right one. See, I’m a very VERY picky young lady. Things have to be in their place… my ducks all have to be lined up in a row.

I wrote about finding the dress, but never revealed my little beauty. And boy… is she a beauty. I present to you the Wtoo by Watters, Marquarite wedding dress.

Dear Wedding Dress,

I love you.

♥Mrs Dolphin

Something I found throughout all our wedding pictures that makes me love the dress even more, is how light flows through it. The light flowing through my dress certainly gave it this floaty airy-ness to it that I was going for. It was such heaven.

Maybe it was a little risque, but I love it. I feel we are being very GQ in this picture.

And for you budget-savvy brides, you can find a beautiful dress at the chic Solutions Bridal for under $1,000. I was told by more then a few people to not enter Solutions Bridal with a small budget, but I did it anyways and am so happy I did!

Seminole Bridesmaid and I toasting to saying YES to the dress at Solutions Bridal. It is weird that a Gator and a Seminole are besties? What can I say, it was love at first sight (for both Mr. Dolphin, the dress and Seminole Bridesmaid). Image taken by Kari, my fabulous bridal consultant.

It was the Wtoo by Watters Marquarite wedding dress, and cost $937. My alterations were done by Alterations Unlimited, for $172. The total price was $1,109. Seeing Mr. Dolphin with a huge grin on his face the first time he saw me in my wedding dress? PRICELESS.

You and your dress are lovely! About an hour ago I was reading a blog, and I thought, “one of the commenters seems familiar”– and it was you! Congrats on all the wedding wonderfulness!

That dress and you in it are so perfect!

And yes, it IS weird that your bestie is a ‘Nole. I couldn’t imagine being besties with a GT Yellow Jacket or even worse…a GATOR. ;)

Loving the dress! While I love mine… I wish I found one like yours that’s simple, beautiful and a touch of lace. =)

@Mrs. Labrador: I know. Thank goodness she isn’t a ‘real’ NOLE fan… just went to school there.

Thank you everyone for all the sweet comments!

@Mrs. Labrador: I totally agree. Boston College Eagles and I just can’t be friends. The Comm Ave rivalry is just too intense.

I think you needed an underslip as evidenced by the picture where you are walking with your man. Otherwise, it was nice.
