Show Us Your Life - Wedding Dress

I'm a little late, but I decided to play along with Kelly's Wedding Dress carnival. I LOVE wedding dresses and looking at peoples wedding pictures. It's so much fun. I used to think my dream job would be to be a wedding planner. Now I know that would be a ton of work, but it would be fun =)

I had my dress picked out and purchased the week after I got engaged! I had always wanted an off the shoulder, full princess ballgown and that's exactly what I got. I loved all the beading and the tulle. I did feel like a princess on that day!

I LOVED my veil and tiara. The veil was two layers, one fingertip length and one cathedral length and it had little sequins scattered over it as well.


This is one of my favorite pics of our ceremony.


This is not that great because I took a picture of our wedding album, but this is my absolute FAVE pic of our wedding. It is a panoramic shot and takes up both sides of the album. I would love to have one of these printed and framed to hang in our house (hint, hint Chad!)


The only thing I wish I had done differently was gotten a dress with a detachable train. My train didn't bustle right for some reason and it was so heavy. I ended up picking it up and throwing it over my arm during our first dance!


Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm loving looking at all the gorgeous gowns out there!

  3. You're not too late! I just did the same wedding dress post and came across your beautiful wedding pictures through reading some of the others. I read some of your infertility posts and wanted to leave a message. I know you know, but you're not alone. I'm just starting to realize there are so many others trusting the Lord in the place we are in. Praying for you...misty:)
