Sunday Fun: Wedding Dress Shopping

This has nothing to do with any DIY or home decor, but I thought this could be a fun Sunday post for all you ladies, like me, who could care less about the Super-bowl. Now the Puppy Bowl is another story. I only get excited for the Super-bowl because it means football is over and baseball in near! Nonetheless the game will still be on and Jordan and I will still be pigging out on all sorts of SB-esque foods. 


I was looking through some photos in my iPhoto and took a little trip down memory lane wen I came across these pictures of all the wedding dresses I considered before finding the one. I went to a dozen plus stores with my mom and tried on what felt like a hundreds of dresses. One thing about me, especially when it comes to clothes, is that I am incredibly picky. I knew finding a wedding dress would be difficult, but I had no idea how hard it really was.


The Dresses I Considered:


This was one of the first ones I tried on, so I think I sort of loved it because everything was still new. Little did I know how long I would be searching for a dress.

This one I definitely loved and very strongly considered. 

I may have picked it if Jordan didn't have a strong dislike for big poofy gowns. 

And it was important to me that I pick something he would love, too. 

The next two were both the epitome of everything I didn't want. I was very anti-satin, didn't want jewels, wanted something with a wow factor aka not super simple. Surprisingly I still liked them both.

I loved this one for a while but it was just so heavy.

I found this dress in a magazine and went searching store to store until I found it. 

In the end, it was a little too destination wedding. 

I remember going from dozens of stores with my mom for weeks on end and never having that teary-eyed "this is it" moment. So we finally had one more store to try and I told myself if I didn't like anything there I'd have to choose between the ones above.

And then I found this one...


The Dress:

and fell in love with it. 

I still didn't cry or have a 'moment' but I just knew..

It's 'Galatea' by Pronovias.

Here are a few dress shots from our wedding day

I still love this dress so much. I haven't seen anything like it on any other brides, and that was important to me when choosing a gown.

And of course, my favorite wedding photo:
