WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING...DID SHE SAY YES TO THE DRESS?

Oh Y'ALL...
Did we ever have fun shopping for 
the perfect wedding dress for granddaughter Abbie.....
SO much to consider and give thought to.....
the style, the color, the fit, the total look.....
on the most important day of your life..... 

We all met up in Fort Worth for the first appointment of the morning
at this particular bridal shop....
Miss Abbie's consultant was wonderful.....
she was knowledgeable, informative and really made this
a delightful event for the bride to be, along with
those of her family who were invited to attend...

We managed to narrow down the selection to around fifteen dresses.....

The mother of the bride and her maid of honor.....

Abbie's stepmom and the mother of the groom.....
and of course...moi who was snapping a few photos....

It's a marvelous event to sit and watch your granddaughter prepare for her
special day....you want her to feel center stage and enjoy every minute
of all the planning that goes into her wedding day.....

I had no idea that pockets are now in most all of the dresses...
what a marvelous idea for a small linen handkerchief, or a special
keepsake to carry down the isle....

She wanted a vintage look and the lace
can make or break the dress....too much, too little, wrong design or just right.....???

The head of alterations was lovely to explain
the importance of a bustle.....which
serves to protect the train.......

An all important decision....form fitting or a bit more poofy....

I will say, she was a vision of loveliness in most all of the dresses

Isn't this just beautiful?

This dress had such a gorgeous ethereal look to it...

Classic and traditional.....

And, how to decide on the headpiece....
maybe fresh flowers in your hair....
it's a garden theme fall wedding so I know it's going to be 
such a significant event for us all.....
And, the search will continue..
next stop....Dallas!
