My Dress!!!

Well I'm nearly there, as far as wedding dresses go. Today I found the website of Claire Pettibone http://www.clairepettibone.com/. It was love at first sight. Once the page loaded, I knew this was the style I was looking for - romantic, light and flowy and figure flattering!

I emailed my mom and she recommended I contact my aunt Katherine to see if she'd be interested in making a similar one for me. We chatted this evening, and got the ball rolling. My custom dress is in full swing! I envision a dress inspired by this one but my own and completely unique.

I feel so relieved. Choosing a dress has been on my mind ever since we got engaged last October. Katherine and I agreed that we'd do some preliminary research on my dress and its design, fabric, etc. and officially start on it this fall. I hope to have it in hand by February...so soon!

So, what do you think?

It's beautiful. One more thing you can check off your list. How was the move?

You're getting the best of both worlds with a one-of-a-kind dress!
