"RUSTIC" wedding?

Weddings are supposed to be elegant, right?

Then why is it that every time I find a cute decorating idea online, it just so happens to fall under the title of "RUSTIC Wedding" ????

The Story of My Dress...

Today I got my wedding dress back from our wonderful tailor, Laura. She fixed it! It looks beautiful- elegant, fun and sparkly.

Finding the "perfect" dress is not easy. My mom, Josh's mom and I have spent a few days swimming in taffeta, satin and lace to find the right one. When we found it online for a great price, I thought we were getting a great deal! WRONG. Don't buy your wedding dress online, girls! 

The dress I got in the mail was SO messed up. It was tight on my breasts, puffy around my torso and tight on my butt. The skirt part of it wasn't even completely sewn- like they forgot to finish it. ha! 

But after a couple trips to this fantastic tailor, it fits great. And now I have my wedding dress. Just hanging there in the closet, like it's quietly humming about all the fun and love I will enjoy when I wear it. There's such a warmth in that dress. I'm so excited!
