Dream Dress.

With everything going on in my life, I have definitely neglected my blog like whoah. But, my business is officially CLOSED, which is a huge stress relief for me and for Matthew. I still have most of my stuff available for sale at 2 different booth spaces still on Broad Street. Also, I love my other job, so that is a blessing! But I've been oh so busy.

In between my busy schedule, I somehow found time to meet with my first vendor for the Dream Wedding. I have known Patricia from Tricia's By Design for a few years now (and so has Matthew!) She actually made my sister-in-law's wedding dress and tons of other dresses for different brides that I know. So when we won the Dream Wedding, the dress was probably the #1 thing I was most excited about, but don't tell Matthew I said that ;)

On a Thursday night a few weeks ago, my mom, sister, and sister-in-law drove to Tricia's so I could try on some wedding dresses. She had a gorgeous selection of course, and I tried on several, but none of them were exactly what I was looking for. We both agreed that her making my dress would benefit both of us. So I will be getting a custom made dress from Tricia's By Design! I cannot wait! We talked a lot about what I wanted in a dream wedding gown and Patricia practically read my mind. She is so knowledgeable of fabrics and styles that look the best. It's insane. After my meeting with her, I wouldn't trust anyone else with a project like this. I'm going back sometime this month for my first measurements so the wedding diet has started!

In case you haven't been following my wedding board on Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/laurabegley/marry-me/), here are some of the wedding gowns that I absolutely LOVE! And a couple of pictures of me with Patricia, too! I think it's obvious that I'm obsessed with all lace. Our next meeting is with the Carnegie Hotel in a couple of days, so watch out for my blog post about that, some of my crafty projects, and our save the dates! Happy wedding planning :)
