Shopping for my wedding dress with my mom was such an awesome experience and quite possibly my favorite aspect of wedding planning. We had SO much fun! We spent a weekend in Atlanta hopping from place to place trying on gorgeous dresses
, shopping in Buckhead, and cherishing girl time together. I found my dress at Bridals by Lori, the salon featured on
Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta. I wasn't filmed for the show, but I did see camera crews preparing to film later that day. We took tons of pictures and met several people I knew from watching the TV show, even Lori herself! I obviously couldn't share most of these pictures before the wedding since they show my dress (this was in July 2011), so here they are!

I originally planned to wear the crystal sash, but later decided against it. As it turned out, I went much simpler than I ever imagined I would!

Yes, I wore the same dress both days. It was cute, comfortable, cool, and easy to slip on and off. Don't judge me!
I fell in love with the dress the moment I put it on and didn't want to take it off! It was perfect, and the sample I tried on ended up being the same size I ordered! The only bad part? Waiting 8 months to try it on at my first fitting, and another 4 months to actually wear it!
So beautiful!!! Congratulations. What a fun experience. I work at a bridal store and it is just so fun to see happy brides deciding on their wedding gown.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress!! You look different than you do now...maybe it's the shorter hair?? I can't put my finger on it!
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing weekend, one that I had dreamed of from the day you were born! I loved every minute and each bridal salon. Too cute when we visited one salon that referred to each dress as a person, such as, "Olivia is beautiful and she will look great"! I especially loved the look on your face when you said, "Yes to the dress"! I will never forget those precious memories!
