Today, Christy, Katy, Robbi, my mom and I went bridesmaid dress shopping. I had a ton of fun watching the girls play dress up! It was great having 2 of the 4 girls together, and the moms, although we wish Alex and Elke could have been there too!
I had scoped some dresses out, and we ended up finding some really cute and unique dresses at Ella’s in downtown TC. I am so excited! I love the dresses and so did Christy and Katy which is the best part.
Until next time…..Lindsey
Hola!
Our trip to Chicago was a huge success! My mom and I found exactly what I was dreaming of at Macy’s. It was such a great experience! By shear luck, the designer of the dress was at Macy’s on Saturday having his first ever trunk show. I had never heard of him before, but I am sure glad he was there! The first dress I tried on was fantastic, a solid 9.5 out of 10, but dress numero dos…..WOWZA! I love it! I hope everyone else loves it as much as I do. The designer is originally from Cuba, but lives in Texas and LA and works in New York. He has designed for demitrios in the past, but this was his first collection, and let me just say, all of his designs were awesome. Each was completely different and stunning at the same time. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but I will say that it is white, strapless, and has a sweetheart neckline. I can not wait to go back to Chicago in a few months for a fitting!
For anyone who is in the market for a wedding gown, I would definitely recommend at least checking out Macy’s! I would also recommend going to Lou Mitchell’s for breakfast and Adobo in Old Town. The food was fantastic and they made guacamole at your table – very fun place!
Chicago is great, but I am glad to be back home! Next up….finding bridesmaid dresses!
Chris, Dan/Dad, Peg/Mom, and I will be headed to Chicago this weekend! I am hoping to find “the dress”, so send me some good vibes…..It occured to me yesterday, not only do I get to find a dress, I also get new shoes! I am not sure which I am more excited about, but I can not wait! I will report some time next week, hopefully with good news!
It was a beautiful fall day! Chris and I took Terry, Robbi, Katy, and Steen to the exact location where Chris proposed! We had all three dogs with us, which was quite hectic, but fun nonetheless. Yogi got a little – well a lot worn out – and by the end of the hike decided to lay in the water! Ugg. Maybe hiking to “our spot” will be a yearly thing….I hope so!
Chris proposed on September 17, 2010 and we already have a blog going! He had no idea that you have to start planning a wedding the very next day, but guess what?! You do! We selected the perfect date for a what will surely be an amazing TC wedding – June 25, 2011.
Just wanted to say hello! We hope that you enjoy keeping up with the planning process and learning more about us as we approach the big day!
