Guess what?! (some of you may know already…)
I found THE DRESS!!!
Of course I’m not going to share the dress exactly, but I’m incredibly excited and can’t believe I have to wait 6 months to see it again! My sister and I went to a trunk show at Carine’s last weekend and I didn’t actually think I would find the one… but I did! It has all the things I ultimately decided where on my “need to have” list: a structured corset top, a full/frothy skirt and a lot of sparkle. It’s modern, dramatic and most importantly, parent approved :)

As much as I hate to admit it… I’m a princess bride. I just am. I can’t help it, so I’m embracing it. But I’m a modern princess bride – sweep train only, no tiara, no shiny satin.
It was really hard for me to picture our wedding day without knowing what I was going to wear… but now I feel like things are really falling into place and I can focus more on what our wedding day is going to look like! I love the idea of modern minimalism paired with overt glamour and set in a cosmopolitan hotel.
