Just a Teaser from the Bridal Shoot:

Can you tell who photobombed the session?

How about who photobombed this picture?

Hint: We don't know him at all!

Dress Drama= Done Deal!

    Courtney, the girls, and Court's mama went dress shopping again yesterday. Back up to the city, to David's Bridal because Courtney pretty much had her heart set on a certain dress. She brought a pic. of a dress that Jeff had liked and tried on a few more dresses just to be sure. A couple of the strapless gowns she tried on were stunning, but they had a bit more bling than Courtney was ready for. Here is another example.
     It was down to two beautiful dresses and Courtney tried one on and then the other until she was sure. But as soon as she'd tried it on again, after viewing the other, she knew. The assistant said that was the first time she had ever seen a bride actually hug her dress. And she got to ring the bell to let everyone in the store know she had "found the one" (besides her fiance Jeff, of course.)

(Jeff- do not click on this link!!!!!!) Here is the dress she chose.

     Then it was onward and upward to the bridesmaid dresses. Sonya had to work, so Kelcie and Kate got to pick out which dress they wanted (sorry Sonya- hope you like it!) Kelcie wanted short and strapless; Kate wanted the opposite. At one point, Courtney said they could all wear the dress they wanted in the color that they wanted, but eventually Kelcie's preferences prevailed. They got this beautiful number, in Holly Green with the concession that the spaghetti straps could be added in the same color.

    Next on the list is the Junior Bridesmaid and Flower Girl dresses, in the color of watermelon.

Say "Yes" to the dress?

Courtney tries on dresses!

     Hello everyone, it's Kate writing a post to tell you a little bit about our first experience dress shopping yesterday. To introduce myself, I am a bridesmaid and one of Courtney's friends since middle school. Anyway, I'll get back to the more important matter of The Dress.

    Courtney and I looked at dresses the other day online and from that, I got a few clues as to what she was looking for in her wedding dress: classic, lace, A-line, and vintage were just a couple of the words I picked up on from the dresses she showed me. A few days later, I got a text asking if we wanted to go up to David's Bridal in the city to take a look in person. Heck Yes! 

Lily, wedding dress extraordinaire

   So Kelcie, Courtney, Debbie (Court's mom), and I all started out on an adventure Saturday afternoon. Once we got there, it was a bit overwhelming being surrounded by a million static-charged dresses and lots of happy engaged brides, but soon our lovely David's Bridal Assistant, Lily, emerged to help us wade through the options. 

    Almost everything looked amazing on Courtney (yes, all 12 dresses), but she somehow managed to narrow it down to two options, both of which embodied "classic, lace, and vintage." However, each of these gowns had their own vibe and will create two very different weddings. We left undecided. 

Check them out below and make your vote as to which dress Courtney should pick:

Option 1: All Over Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown

                Highlights: cap sleeve, lace overlay, beading, train

Option 2: All Over Lace Patchwork A Line Gown

                Highlights: strapless, tiered lace on skirt, fitted bodice
