In 15 weeks I am getting married! Exactly 15 weeks! That is a little freaky since we have so much left to plan and get done. We have not even sent the invites out. Being an art director does not make the invites easy... I have had so many ideas and have changed my mind about 1001 times. That being said they are being printed as I write this post and I hope to get them off very soon. For a while there I was scared that we would send the invites out after our wedding (our save the date has been a saviour).
So now I am ready to move on and it is all about the dress. Last week I went dress shopping for the first time and I almost went home crying. No, I did not cry, but it was a total anti-climax. I did not see one dress that I liked. Not even remotely. I tried on 2 dresses and they were cute, actually pretty but on me they look ridiculous. I think my options are either to order online, be brave and wait until we head down to Mallorca, Spain in April or to design my own dress. Would you ever order your dress online (or have you)? Time is getting tight. I really need to come to some conclusion soon. I think the above dresses are beautiful and they inspire me. Just a few of the dresses in my inspiration folder.

about the online orders... i know some people who'd done it and were very pleased.
I bought my from a designer who fitted me and everything. and that was such a nice experience.
I think it depends on the kind of dress you like. if it's very fitted, I think you should find a designer to your liking or collaborate with a designer that will make your dream dress.
GOOD LUCK!

The dresses are beautiful. If this is your drawing board I cannot wait to see what you come up with. I bet you will be beautiful.

All of these dresses are gorgeous -- are any possible contenders? I'm sure you'll find the right dress. But I'd personally be worried about buying a dress online. I just think something special happens when you try on dresses and you find the one. I can't wait to see your invitations and the dress you get!
