for the bride

This is style #NT8017 from David's Bridal.  It has a satin beaded corset with a cuff neckline and a beaded tulle ballgown skirt.  I ordered it in white without a train.

fittings

January, the day I bought my dress.  The tulle looks messed up because we separated each piece to count the layers... there are six!

---

May, my first fitting while bridesmaids tried on dresses.  The bodice fit a little loose so alterations will be required.

---

other attire

Nicknamed my "departure dress," I will be changing out of my wedding gown into this at the end of the reception before we depart for our wedding night and honeymoon.  Found it at Fashion Gal for $22.99!

---

I got this dress for my black/white/damask themed bridal shower.  Only $11.99 at Ross!  The light polyester and spandex material is perfect for my September shower... it's so airy so I won't be sweating my butt off! 

---

My bachelorette party dress, another Ross find... $19.99!  It's super cute and flirty.  Hoping to get some free drinks! ;-)

---

for the bridesmaids

My bridesmaids selected this dress from David's Bridal, style #83312 in the color Apple.  It is cotton sateen with a flattering ruching on the bust and at the waist.

---

for the flower girl

My flower girl's grandmother, a.k.a. "Nana", will be making her dress.  It will match the bridesmaids' dresses in color and is inspired by this dress from David's Bridal.  It's costing about a quarter of the price to make and will be a special keepsake for my flower girl!
