wedding planning is slightly overwhelming. between booking a venue, a photographer, a dj, picking a wedding party and colors and flower types and then deciding on the most important dress of your life. my goodness. so instead of dealing with all these decisions, ben and i took the easy way out and booked a destination wedding so the resort does most of the planning for us! okay, maybe we really booked a destination wedding because an intimate ceremony on the beach in the middle of the caribbean surrounded by our closest friends and family sounds like our idea of perfection. but the lack of planning is definitely a bonus.
unfortunately, they don't pick my wedding dress out for me... apparently i have to do that myself... and i think this is probably the most overwhelming part of planning a wedding. i mean, there will be pictures hanging up of you in this dress for the rest of your life... better pick a good one.
since we're getting married in the dominican republic and i prefer simple, i've been looking for something light and flowy and without too much sparkle or lace. ladies, this is not an easy task! bridal stores are full of fancy, heavy dresses and i've had no luck in other stores. of course i've found lots of options online that i like but i'm very hesitant to order because nothing ever looks the same on as it does in pictures.
so far i've found a few options i like... one just might be the one (sorry, no pictures of that one)... but now it's time to bring the moms along, get some opinions and maybe try on a few more.
here's what we're working with so far...
and here are the inspirations i've found on pinterest...
this dress is my absolute favorite... i found it for sale on amazon but i'm not sure if i should buy it and just see how it goes... you know nothing ever looks the same on as it does in pictures.
anyone have any ideas of where to find simple dresses like these please send them my way! i'll be forever grateful.
