Dress purchased, garters arrived... getting closer!

Melody, on March 18, 2021 at 7:01 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11
So I went dress shopping with my mom on Sunday, but the one dress I was most interested in was only available online. I ordered it a week before the appointment and it arrived on Tuesday. It's basically perfect for me. It fits almost exactly as I'd like it to now, but will be a little better once I've dropped those last few pounds. I've mentioned a time or two or 700 before that I don't like dresses, so I wanted something simple but also with a wedding vibe. It has a lace overlay with just a little bit of sparkle. And the best part? After shipping it only cost me $74! And then the garters I ordered came in today. Wedding colors are black/red (which is also my and FH's favorite color combo) and the theme is motorcycles. They didn't have a sport bike charm (which is what we both ride now), but they had a dirt bike charm and we both grew up riding dirt bikes. So without further ado... enjoy!Dress purchased, garters arrived... getting closer! 1

    Not pictured: I have 2 ribbons that I will be sewing together to make into one, the narrower being sewn on top of the wider. One is red and the other is black. (I think the black is narrower? Maybe?) That will then be tied around my waist.

    The boots I'm wearing (that you can't really see, but you can just glimpse the tops in one picture) are the ones I'll be wearing at my wedding.

    I love it Melody!!! The dress not only fits perfect, but I love the detail at the edge of the top! The bike charms are an awesome touch 👌 the best weddings are where the couple’s personal style comes out!! Can’t wait to see the wedding pictures ❤️🖤🤍 🏍

    Aww, thanks so much! I enjoy making things personalized and fun. And your comment about the wedding pictures reminded me that I haven't shared my engagement photos yet... oops! We had 2 locations, and one featured FH's bike which is black and red!

    Thank you so much for that confidence boost! I'm still super self-conscious, so hearing people say it looks good on me is so comforting. I showed the garters to my fiance last night and he's stoked on them too!
