Bridesmaid dress shopping at David's

At a Bridal Expo last month I made an appointment for last Wednesday to go see their selection of bridesmaid dresses. My dear SIL, who will be my Maid of Honor is always thrilled to accompany me to those events ;)

Since the wedding (or better our vow renewal) won't be before Spring 2016 we didn't plan on purchasing anything, but checking out the different styles won't hurt either.This gives me a feel for different fabrics, hem and neck lines that I will choose from. 

We arrived at the bridal store with 20 minutes to spare and headed straight for the racks. Sarah, our consultant for the day, was very attentive and helpful. From a catalog we picked out 9 dresses in different styles to make sure I get to see every possibility that I might like.

Our picks included:

We had a blast! She, trying on dresses; me, taking pictures of the dresses from different angles. After about an hour we were done. Exhausted, but happy and with some visions for my dear bridesmaids.


My favorites were chiffon material and long. Even though I always thought short would be the way to go.

N and K

The whole Zak family got invited to a wedding this past Saturday.

 

 

Gorgeous bride, handsome groom and adorable ring bearer and flower girls.
Bridal party in purple, the parents in silver. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and you could feel the love they had for each other every second.

A sucessfull marriage isn't the

union of two perfect people. It's

that of two imperfect people who

have learned the value of

forgiveness and grace.

I am wishing the newlywed couple a wonderful honeymoon and a blessed live with joy!

Bridal Expo March 2014

Dear Husband and I went to our very first bridal expo this past month to get some inspiration for our big wedding in white, meet vendors, get free goodies ;) and have a chance of winning one of the many prices they have.
It was pretty much like a zoo! Arrived on time, we had to realize what a crazy busy day was ahead of us. After standing in line for about 1 hour we finally were able to start the fun.
Right at the entrance they gave us a bag with a bridal magazine and little pamphlets of different vendors, like:

- Reception venues

- Florists

- Transportation service

- Candy Bar

- Caterer

- Photographer and videographer
- Bachelor/Bachelorette parties

- Ministers

- DJs

- Bridal and Groom stores

- and many more

I went ahead and set up an appointment to check out some Bridesmaid dresses with my sister-in-law in about 2 weeks. That's going to be so much fun! :D

Passing tables, getting congratulations, receiving information and signing up for a chance to win. It was pretty exhausting and after 3 hours we were done and ready to leave.

I would recommend to anyone to go see a bridal expo, it definitely gets you in wedding mood!
