i bought my wedding dress today and i think we've picked the date

[fizzgig]

it's not the greatest picture, but here it is. i went one size bigger in case i get a little more top heavy between now and the wedding (something that is entirely possible) and i'll get it fitted later on.




it looks like the big day will be sept. 26. not definite yet, but pretty close.

now the hard part is going to be resisting the urge to show him the dress before the wedding. i'm not very good at keeping secrets when i'm excited :bounce: :bounce:

1. Very pretty dress. He doesn't peek on DU, does he?

:bounce:

[fizzgig]

3. he only peeks if i leave it up

so i'll have to be mindful of that for a few days.

and thank you :)

11. I LOVE it! Are you going to wear red shoes? Or carry red roses?

[fizzgig]

14. i'm thinking yes to red shoes

but i haven't thought about flowers yet and am completely clueless in that area.

33. A page of red sandals

At the bottom are a couple of reasonably priced pairs!

Lots of time to think about flowers.

Red was my accent color for my wedding (second) although I went with an ivory tea length dress.
I carried red roses; my engagement ring was a ruby and my nails were red!

You look fabulous in the dress!

[fizzgig]

38. cute! thanks for the link

no engagement ring yet, but i told my guy that i want a garnet ring. i love that shade of red.
