i Said Yes to My Dress!

I bought my dress on Saturday and I've never felt so pretty in my whole life. 😭 My fiancé wants the dress to be a surprise for him, but I've been dying to share it, so here has to be the place! I never wanted a ball gown, I didn't want anything strapless, and I didn't want white. So that thing...

    I wanted to wear a flower crown made of sunflowers and roses and mums that would match the bouquets, but I'm not sure how it will look with my dress! I like intricate but not ostentaious or particularly sparkly things, so for jewelry I'm going to do something with rose gold or and morganite to match my ring. Smiley smile

    That is beautiful! You look amazing! I completely agree with picking a dress you least expected because I did the same exact thing!

    Yay for dress twinning! I tried on the silver and it was so lovely, but a touch too cool toned for what I wanted. You're going to look so incredible in it! 🤩

    Looks wonderful on you. I had a very open mind when I went dress shopping, and tried on a dress in every silhouette. I fell in love with a ball gown too.

    Great choice😊 i’ve been eyeing on a similar dress at David’s Bridal, Vera Wang collection. For some reason the associate didn't even bother to get it for me so i didn't have the chance to try it on.

    I love this dress! I just got it in Sterling! It was the exact opposite of what I went in looking for but it was the only silver dress they had so I told her I would try it on for the color. I seriously had the moment! It's so flattering! Congrats dress twin!

    I have and I haven't! I know I want a flower crown and probably just earrings for jewelry, but other than that I'm stumped.

    Oh I am obsessed with flower crowns! Do you think you will go for one made of fresh flowers?
