so...i am going to be trying on wedding gowns for the very first time today. i'm not really quite ready for it yet to be honest! i thought that we were going to be attending a monique lhullier trunk show. usually a trunk show just has models walking around to display the clothes, but of course this is a totally atypical one where you have to make an appointment and actually try the dresses on!! i had really wanted to be in better shape before i tried anything on...but oh well i suppose. and of course i won't be buying anything for various reasons...a) i don't have any money yet to buy a dress and b) even when i do have money it will not be enough to afford a real monique lhullier dress, but i guess i am kind of excited... i suppose it will make things feel a little bit more real, since it's still kind of surreal this whole being engaged thing.
so far it has been difficult to nail down any details, but here's some of the stuff i'm thinking about:
date: may 2009
location: buffalo
size: hopefully max 150
time: late afternoon/evening
colors: sage/celery green, lilac and deeper shades of purple, white
flowers: definitely hydrangeas...tulips, bells of ireland, peonies...not sure what else because i don't know what all the names of the flowers i like are, but probably no roses...too overdone and definitely NO carnations!!
other details: lots of candles!! would be great if the reception venue has great chandeliers...
type of gown: pretty much everything i like so far is trumpet/mermaid skirt with some (but not too much) embellishment...likely lace, but everyone has told me that what you think you like will probably not end up being what you like ON, so we'll see...
so thoughts anyone? suggestions/ideas??
