Hi Ladies!
Long time no talk but here is a quick update …
When imagining my dress I would have originally I wanted a Ivory lacey mermaid cut dress. I always pictured myself in a traditional silhouette but I have ended up with a simple clean modern trumpet shaped dress.
In July I went to Alfred Angelo (my friend Jessie worked there ) and I tried on some dresses. I didn’t even know what Alfred Angelo was. I figured it was just another David’s Bridal type of place, but I was surprisingly mistaken. It was cool/weird to try dresses on. But after a few I got used to it. I really wasn’t expecting to try anything on that day, just go and visit her at work… hence my Merry Christmas panties… lol … In the end the one we all (me, mom, sister, and jessie) liked the most was a simple modern white dress.
I then later went with Rachel and Courtney to show them this same dress since Coco was in town. When I tried it on again I didn’t feel so in love. I asked them to pick a few different ones for me and I picked some as well. And BAM! There it was. I felt great in this dress!
This past week my mom was in town visiting me and we headed over to Alfred Angelo again, Rachel in tow, and my mom bought it for me =) SOooo I now officially own the dress that I will wear the day I become Mrs. Shaw (Puentes-Shaw to be exact… lol)
I am super happy with the choice because it is traditional yet modern, and I feel pretty & sexy in it. Plus with the decor of the wedding and because of my style in general we decided maybe a more modern dress would work better and it did!
I love the empire line as well as the cut @ the boobs. But I won’t tell Wes that…. I am going to continue to tell Wes that the dress has long sleeves, pearls, and has a turtle neck… lol
