My parents and my sister are in town to do some wedding planning, put Save the Dates together, and visit a few hotels for wedding blocks. We've discussed budgets and general ideas - not always and easy or optimistic topics but it has gone well.
Dress shopping has been so much fun! I was quite nervous going into the first dress shop - Tiffany's Bridal in Richmond - but we had an AMAZING dress consultant, Chloe, who made me feel special and comfortable. (It's not everyday you go into a dressing room with someone you just met and strip down to your underwear...) My mom AND dad, and my sister were there for oohhing, aaahhing, and other more eloquent opinions of the various dresses. After trying on a dozen plus dresses, I left with two favorites. We then headed to Alfred Angelo, also in Richmond. After a number of dresses, including a few inspired by Disney princesses, I left with another viable option. I also left with a lot to think about. What do I want to look like on my wedding day? There were different styles and aspects of the dresses that I liked. I slept on it and then headed to another bridal shop - Williamsburg Bridal and Formal. For this stop, my mom, James' mom, my sister, and James' sister gave their opinions. I left with three more contenders! But, I also eliminated two from day 1. So, I have 4 dresses to think about and also if I want to keep going. Will I find a dress I like at every store? I feel like the dress is a HUGE decision! I don't like to decide where to go for dinner, how will I decide on a dress for my wedding day?!
We also are taking advantage of time together to visit a few hotels and get information about wedding block rates. And I am using the extra hands to put Save the Dates together and addressed.
Things are coming along and getting more exciting...we'll see how I do. I am getting a bit more stressed about making decisions and being comfortable. I have a tendency to second guess and worry after I make a choice.
