Gowns, Crowns and more!

March 6th, 2007 by Jennifer

Today, Rachael was kind enough to invite me to give my opinion (!) on the final 3 dresses she is trying to choose between for her August 4th wedding date!

We arrived at Bellevue Bridal and she started trying her 1st dress on. I got distracted in the shoes while waiting (see later post). She came out and looked simply beautiful and quite innocent. I wish I could post photos here… but probably not a good idea incase the groom gets nosy! 🙂

That’s when we started in on trying on veils and jewels. My oh my that was fun! 🙂 Poor Rachael, I think I was making her decision harder! On to dress #2. Sophisticated and elegant, it was very flattering. Perhaps not quite as much sparkle as Rachael had hoped!

Dress #3 was just for “fun”… but ended up being the favorite by far. It was a marriage of the other two dresses (sweet, yet sophisticated and elegant) in one! She looked like a princess… WHICH brings up the crown!

We noticed among the sparkling tiaras… one more like a crown stood out! We decided we must try on this one to see what it feels like! What silly-ness… who wears something this large to their wedding!?!

After a fun adventure and many hours at the bridal shop, we settled down for a pear mojito, lettuce wraps, and conversation from some out-of-towner at the bar. Then we headed over to Paper Source (trouble!) for some invitation ideas.

All in all, a fantastic night! Thanks Rachael!
