Wedding Dress Searching

I can't go into this post saying I had a definite "clear" vision of what I wanted but there were some dresses that really inspired me upon going shopping. I also had some criteria that it had to be something that was:
  
unique
- stylish
- timeless
- glamorous
- and me!

I knew going into the wedding that my vision was "city chic", so not overly country or classic but a nice mix. I really wanted to epitomize a New York bride even if I do live in North Carolina.

I do had to admit that my mom took me shopping before we were engaged so I had a bit of an idea of what I wanted but what I wanted wasn't necessarily what mom wanted, and y'all know from watching "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta" if momma isn't happy, you probably aren't going to be happy either! 

Here are some that I tried that I liked before the engagement that mom was on the fence about.. Excuse any bad appearances..

 Amsale
 Ines di Santo

I was kind of digging on the body hugging style originally but I did try some ballgown-esque dresses that I quite liked:

 Amsale
  Kenneth Poole

With all of those in mind after my first ever stop into a bridal salon when I DID get engaged I had a few more picked out in my mind but I was completely open to trying on anything they had because I knew this was one of the most important decisions of the whole wedding itself and that was SO stressful for me!

I'll be back with a break down of salons and dresses that I tried on that I did like and how I landed with the dress I did.

Happy Monday!

Bridal Fashion Week

With the number of wedding blogs, instagram accounts, pinterest and various forms of bridal inspiration, it's hard not to appreciate Fashion Week. The designs, details, fabrics, textures, and pure romance that oozes from the runways, it's hard not to get giddy even if I already have a dress!

Anyone have any favorites from this year? Here are some of mine:

Le sigh..
