So even though I didn't KNOW I was going to get engaged that very day, I already had an appointment to look at dresses while my mom, Patti, was in town. She, my sister, Kara (also Matron of Honor), my future mother-in-law, Charyl, and another bridesmaid, Angie, came with me to downtown GR to visit Renee Austin Wedding. This cute little boutique helped me out with a photo shoot I did quite a few years ago when I was young, green and not very good yet with the photo thing, and I knew someday I would return the favor by visiting their shop for my own wedding.
Maggie helped us out using a photo list of Sottero & Midgley dresses I had printed. Low and behold, the FIRST dress I tried on was awesome! We tried lots more but I just couldn't get away from that one. It's got straps (which was a BIG help for my large chest ;), a lace up back (awesome for form fitting :) and is made of charmeuse fabric, which is super silky and soft. I think it might get a little hot under all the fabric in June but we'll be inside most of the day so I'm not worried. It's got lots of pretty flourishes and just enough sparkle to make me happy. Gorgeous! Now if you don't want to see the dress yet, do NOT scroll down! It will look even more awesome on the big day though. Not sure on the veil yet, I'm leaning toward hair flower instead. Can't wait to get it in April!
