About Mrs. Elephant

That’s right hive, it’s my wedding dress!!! I know you have all been on pins and needles waiting for this post. ;)

Mr. E is not a reader of this blog, but just in case…

The Most Expensive Dress I Will Ever Wear :  wedding dallas wedding dress Dresss dress+s


OK, I think we’re safe to proceed.

I’m so excited that it’s in and it fits! After a handful of dress shopping trips, I ended up with a dress I tried on in the second store. I lucked out and purchased my Mori Lee #2306 at another store during a trunk sale to get an additional 20% off.

Hopefully this means those weird wedding dreams of my dress coming in as a short blue tulle party dress will stop.

And one more shot from the side

How long before your wedding did your dress come in? If it was a couple months (or more like mine did) was it hard for you to not want to put it on and lounge around like they did in the Friends episode?

You look amazing in that dress! Great choice! My dress will be in in December…the wedding is not til July! The bridal salon will store it for me though, so I am going to try to leave it there as long as I can (the temptation to try it on will be too much otherwise!). Also - love that Friends episode! :)

Beautiful Miss Elephant! My dress took 4 months to come in, and then they thankfully kept it at the store. I have gone to visit it from time to time and then, yes, I lounge around the bridal salon, much to their dismay I’m sure.

You look amazing and with the combination of the shoes… perfection!!

I just got my dress in a couple weeks ago with 1.5 months to go. Yea I cut it a little close but I didn’t know it would take 5 months to get after I ordered it. ;)

I actually kept mine at my MOH’s house - so honestly I didn’t get to wear it except for trying it on at the store, once at her house then on my wedding day! i would have totally worn it more had it been at my house! :p

Yay!! Nothing like gettin into your very own dress for the first time! I also love your shoes! Here’s a hint: On your wedding day make sure you have your own written list of all the shots you want (like a peeking shoe shot) or you may forget to remind your photographer. I wasn’t specific in my photogs list and only said I wanted shoe shots so I got shots of my shoes, but none of them peeking out :(

That looks really great on you, how exciting! I also had irrational nightmares about the wrong dress coming in.
