Striped Skirt

Top: Forever 21 / Skirt: Forever 21 / Belt: JCPenney / Heels: Target

After postponing it for a few weeks I finally went dress shopping with my best friend who is also my Maid of Honor. I am so thankful to have her pushing me becuase it takes about 3 to 5 months to recieve your wedding dress once its been ordered. I had no idea but I'm glad I'm looking now with out being on a time crunch. We went to David's Bridal and I was so overwhelemed with all the dresses I had at my disposal. I figured out one thing very quickly, I don't want a white dress because it's almost too blinding for my eyes. I really like the look of ivory because it's very soft and pretty, plus you can't really tell it's not white until you put it next to a white dress. I was very drawn to off the shoulder dresses and my best friend suggested I go with a mermaid cut which flattered my figure perfectly. I did get a little discourged looking at the iPhone pictures we had taken earlier of all the wedding dresses because they didn't look as magnificent as they did in person. I am all about pictures so if it doesn't look great in a picture I don't want it. I will be going back to David's Bridal next week to make sure I look at every single dress before I make my decision. I would really love any advice from anyone who has already gone through this because I feel a little lost. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
