Where does one find this?

If only I could get my hands on this 2010 Rosa Clara. Pockets on a wedding dress that looks like origami? So fantastic.

Uh oh... bridezilla tendencies

Decided that the dress I was making is totally not my style. I have no idea what I was thinking with the lace, beads, and flowers! Ended up ordering a dress, and it arrived today. I like it a lot, but it needs to fit me better. I called the alterations department and they said that they generally don't do alterations until 6-8 weeks before the actual wedding. That makes me really nervous. I mean.... what if something horrific happens with the alterations and I end up looking like a clown in a trash bag?

Anyway, I scheduled an appointment for alterations this weekend. The lady on the phone seemed surprised with my request, as if I'm the only bridezilla that she's ever met.

Heard back from the venue we really want. Still pending. Seems to be a real test of patience, but maybe all good things are worth waiting for. Furiously and heavy-heartedly text spammed the fiance today about the non-news from the venue...  So we won't know until mid-April. As an emotional reflex, I sent out another 5 or so RFPs to a bunch of places. Somehow having the other venues email me back generic .pdfs of their wedding packages was cathartic.

Ahhh I love this.

Reminds me of a paper project I did last year for kicks :]

Engagement photo :)

Probably the most efficient photo session ever... 15 min and we were done. The weather was so beautiful, we finished with an afternoon stroll in the beautiful city we call home (for now :)).
