over two days here in FL, I went to three different dress stores
lots of dresses to look at and try on. I was ready.
I knew I was going to find the “ONE” here
but after dress after dress, I started to worry
I had my mom and my 3 sisters with me, so did make it fun to play dress up!
I tried on a lot of beautiful dresses.
Some I liked. Some were not me. But none I loved yet.
Good thing we had this goofy girl around
Love my niece!
I was trying not to panic….that I would still find it.
Some dresses just did not make me smile. (though so many were very beautiful)
And then I tried IT on. My whole body was smiling. It was not a dress I would of considered at first for me when thinking of dresses. I have to thank my sister, Jen, for bringing this one to my attention!
But everything felt right with this dress! After going back and forth to a few shops the 3rd shop was finally where this dress was waiting for me to try on.
Cannot wait to show you all, but going to have to wait till April 
We all celebrated with wine and cookies!
now that was a fun and successful weekend.
the planning and designing of my wedding is coming into play! so exciting
Till next time,
xoxo

Sigh. Makes me feel all warm remembering our own wedding
By the way, thank you for all the great foodie ideas. I find myself browsing through your blog every morning to get inspired, especially when I don’t feel like working out haha. Following your love for beets and kelp noodles, I recently tried adding beets to our menu here at home. Will definitely play around with it in smoothies! And here is what I did with kelp – http://emma-jacob.tumblr.com/post/9777292651/getting-back-on-track

Yay!!!!!!! So glad you found the dress!

Wow–you’re going to keep us waiting until April? Well, we know it’s got to be better than all those _stunning_ dresses you showed here, so I’m sure it’ll be phenomenal. So glad that it sounds like you had such a fun time finding it too!
YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that second dress you’re posing in with your friend, the blonde….that was my DREAM dress. Is is Maggie Sottero??? I was waiting for that dress, but it wasn’t going to be in until Feb for me to try on and I was getting married in May so I went with a Priscilla of Boston dress, that ended up being the “one”
I can’t waitt o see which one you picked!!!!
Congrats on The Dress! YAY!!!!!!
And the cookies..saw that pic on IG and wanted to rip them off the screen!
Cookies, wine….and THE Dress….sounds like an awesome day
So many dresses……so many of them look amazing, so I can’t wait to see the one you picked!
That is such an incredible feeling! I’m so happy for you and that you found the one! i look forward to seeing it all come together in april!
So happy to hear that you found ‘the one’! If all of those beautiful dresses were not it, I cannot even imagine how amazing IT actually is. Can’t wait to see
I am sure you will look beautiful in anything you choose. I had an awful time with finding a dress for my wedding and wasn’t happy with my final choice, but it was too late and I had to get something or go naked.
The suspense is going to kill me waiting until April!! lol You are going to be one gorgeous bride that’s for certain
SO thrilled you found the dress of your dreams xoxo
Can’t wait to see it! I know the feeling of “the one” and glad you waited until you felt that!
