White or Ivory?

So the big deal first dress fitting has happened! with my mother in tow, my maid of honor and 2 other best friends; we dissed, debated, and adored. in the end, I couldn't get a dress that day. It just didnt feel right. I have this picture in my head of the perfect dress; and the girl helping me find the dress, came very close to it on this day.

problem #1. My dress lady is also one of my past sorority sisters. (super presure to buy one from her). Problem #2. She gave me a "knock-off" of the dress I am dreaming about. looks like it, but is not it! Problem #3. It was my first fitting, and I'm not done playing Bride yet. So I dont want to end the best part - buying the dress- after only the first try.

So, while I dreamed of my wedding, laughed with my friends, and got all flustered from the excitement and pressure; my best friend, and maid of honor, Steph, snapped what she could of the dresses. here are the best of the best! lol

This was my favorite of the day - the "knock-off" of the dress from Private Label by G, which I am dreaming of. The dress I want has red roses on it. this dress had white pansy looking flowers. maybe if they had been roses, I would have setteled.

This was a TuTu/balerina style dress. I absolutely loved it. reminds me of being 5 years old and running around dreaming of being a fairy princess. (I look scared in the second picture - I was feeling quite flustered at this point)

Fashion forward wedding question: To Do the head-piece; or stick with a pricy veil that looks traditional?

The next big question, the one that ended my dress fitting experience, was: do you want your dress in ivory or white? The small details drive me nuts! I am not normally, nor have I ever been, a picky perfectionist. So when this question came along,

• i responded with, well, white, so my tan looks super dark.


• my mother responded; you dont need to tan anymore!


• maid of honor said, Ivory looks good on you right now, but do what you like


• helper lady said; if you pic ivory, everything in your wedding has to change from white to ivory, or you will look yellow.

So My mind starts spinning, and i get super flustered as everyone is talking to me at once, giving their opinions. I didn't order a dress this day. I need to do it slowly and know exactly every detail on my dress is exactly what I want it to be. I have officially become a picky person.
