When I went for my first fitting, I had a bridal bustier with ribbing. My dress kept pulling and I thought I might have gained weight and totally freaked! Well the lovely Wayne, my fashion consultant at Amrhein's told me to take the bustier off and the dress would fit better, and voila, he was right! I didn't feel comfortable with going with a bra altogether so I went shopping at one of my favorite store: Victoria's Secret. I had no problem finding the right bra, their consultants are so sweet and nice and after trying on only three, I found one that rocks!
The Body by Victoria®, Multi-Way Bra was super comfortable and soft and I fell like I can wear it the entire wedding day and not get poked and prodded with wired and ribbing. I also LOVE this bra because it can be thrown in my underwear drawer to be worn again and again instead of just once if I went with the full bustier. If you are a bride wearing a strapless dress and need that perfect bra, I would recommend this to any of you :)
Saturday was GREAT! I went for my first fitting and my dress fits like a glove. The only alteration that I need is the top of my dress because it sticks out a little. I needed to find the right bra which I did thanks to Victoria's Secret, Infinity Edge Multi Way Bra...I have not been able to try this on yet with my dress but I will at my next fitting. Here is a sneak-peek of my dress::
We didn't have any luck at DB, my sister was just not happy with any of the dresses she tried on so she ended up picking out something at the boutique where my dress was purchased and also got 10% off, yay!! My sister/MOH found a dress that she absolutely LOVED! It's Alfred Angelo Style 7017. We ordered it in Espresso & Champagne.

In about 16 days I will be going dress shopping for the first time since I got engaged. In my last dress post I showed you guys a few Maggie Sottero dresses that I loved. This go round I will be showing a few dresses that are more in my budget and I won't have to travel two hours to get to the bridal shop. A few weeks ago at a bridal show here in the valley David's Bridal sponsored a fashion show, and for the first time I got to see just how gorgeous Oleg Cassini wedding gowns really are, which are exclusively sold at David's Bridal. These dresses are very well made and the look so classy and gorgeous! There were four dresses that I absolutely fell in love with and want to try on.
This dress (Style CRL277) is just gorgeous and is my favorite of the four. My only issue is if it would make me look too curvy, because of my "pop bottle" shape.
This dress (Style CT258) is also very pretty and would definately hide my hips with it's A-Line cut. The color is stunning!
I love the lace and sweetheart top on this dress (CT282) and this picture does it no justice it's much better in person.
I am really liking the empire waste on this dress (CU0099), again it would help to hide some of my curves.
Since I will be getting married in March, I will definately need a balero or some sort of cover-up. Virginia is still really cold late March and early April, I'm just not sure if I want to do a full removable jacket or just a cute balero. Etsy has the most talented designers, I found a bunch that I just adored. If you are having a winter wedding or just want to add a chic little balero to your wedding day ensemble then check these cute little fashions out.
