The moment the flowergirls have been waiting for…

Today Mom, Renee, Debi, Tyler, Rylie, and I (what a crew!) went David’s Bridal so the girls could try on flower girl dresses.

Bridesmaid dress… check!

Today Mom, Renee, Debi, Tyler, Rylie, and I were downtown Seattle looking for bridesmaid and flower girl dresses.

Bridesmaid Dress

Even though I called Macy’s and they said they didn’t carry the dress I was looking for… We got there and they did have it! Renee tried on the dress (wrong color obviously). It looked really nice. It is nice and flowy, and has a satin trim on the waist, which I think will look great with my dress.

I think we can check this baby off the list!

Day 3: Slow moving…

Today, we are feeling a little tierd. It’s slow moving for us after our 3 am night.

We make it to Mom’s Maids and More where Heather tried on Bridesmaid Dresses. Our laughter ingulfed the dressing room and we had a great time. We also checked out Nordstrom’s, which didn’t have much options.

After a sushi snack, and arriving back to the apartment, Heather was nice enough to enter all of my guest list in www.theknot.com. It has a pretty cool organization feature which allows you to add guests to showers, bachelorette, bachelor, etc lists so you get an accurate count (and hopefully don’t forget anyone!!). I’m glad she gave me that useful tip!

The evening ends, and Heather heads home tomorrow. I am so thankful for her help, and most of all her friendship!

Day 2: Adventures in Seattle

Court Exterior

Today, we start by swinging by Court in the Square. It’s all very exciting because it is the first time I have seen the location being prepared for a wedding! I think I have some better ideas of the layout now (mostly what I didn’t like!) and it was fun showing Heather around for the first time!

Bride In Dress


Ok, today was the big dress day. We started our first appointment at 11:30 at Amanda’s Bridal. Amanda was so kind and created a comfortable fun experience for us. I tried on SEVERAL dresses and began to narrow down what styles I liked. (more…)

Florist & Dresses

BouquetPetalsFlowers Groom

Today I met with and decided on my florist. She’s a entrepreneurial gal who has the combination of style and price that I am looking for. We spent a lot of time talking, and she gave me a lot of great ideas. I am pretty excited about working with Hopper Flowers!

Bride Nov Dress

I met her next to David’s Bridal in South Center, so I decided to drop by and try on a dress there. It was kind of strange being by myself since a busy Saturday brings many bridal parties/mom’s. But, it was nice to try something on and see that it’s not so bad! Check out this poofy “cupcake” number!
