Shopping for wedding dresses...not my favorite activity

So I know that I really need to get a dress, since we are down to just over 3 months and alterations, ordering, etc. can take awhile. Knowing this, and knowing that I am blessed with being 5'9", which allows me to pretty much buy off the rack without needing hemming done (I'm wearing flats since my future hubby isn't blessed with height! :)), I am hoping to find a dress off the rack that requires minimum alterations. I find that my philosophy on the wedding dress is that it is not super important to me overall. I am focused more an throwing a well put-together wedding and reception than I am about finding the perfect dress for the day...I think there are many dresses that I would be perfectly happy getting married in.

With that in mind, I started my wedding dress shopping journey on Friday night, when I went to find some suitable undergarments to wear. Ha! I have to say that strapless bras have to be some of the most uncomfortable inventions in the history of women's clothing...enough said.

On Saturday, I was planning to meet my mom and sister, Melisa, but my mom decided not to chance the icy roads so it ended up just being me and Melisa at David's bridal. Our consultant was great...she took my preferences to heart and pulled several dresses right away that I really liked. After much dressing room laughter as my sister helped me dive into a crazy amount of fabric, I ended up finding a dress I love, but didn't buy because I think I can find a similar style elsewhere for a better price, plus, I really wanted my mom to see it!

So...we continue the journey in 2 weeks at a bridal boutique in St. Cloud...I'll let you know how it goes!
