I have found my dream dress!!!! There won't be too much information about it here, for reason that my lovely fiance does actually check out my blog, and I would like my family and guest to be surprised.
All I can say is its the prefect dress, exactly what I wanted, and fit very nicely in the budget!
We ordered it at the salon and it should be arriving for my first fitting in November. We found it at Victoria's Bridal. I have also found my shoes, which I am super excited for, cause they are awesomely pretty. YAY!
I also LOVE the fact that my mom, and all 3 of my girls were there for the dress appointment and everyone loved it! I will also say, not every person is going to have that dream, tv "ah-ha" moment and start crying. I did not, but I cant be happier with my dress. I feel bridal, pretty, and I feel like myself! I didn't sacrifice my own personality and happiness, but still found the dream gown!

June Bride Box
I signed up for The Bride Box. I got a coupon discount via facebook. I have been looking into signing up for one when I saw the May box on facebook. I'm glad I did! I opted for the 6 month subscription. I am super excited to see what is in store for the next 5 months.They are a fairly new company, I think the May box was their very first. But I think this a great thing for any bride.
There are similar versions of "boxes" one is Birch Box, which is makeup and beauty products. (visit the small things blog to learn more about those.) I think it's great there is one veered mostly to brides. :)
While planning the wedding and making decisions on things you need or want its nice to get a little surprise once a month on things you would have never thought of! This box was filled with things I would have never gotten for myself, but they instantly put a smile on my face. I spoke with the creators of the box, and filled out a survey, and they sent me an extra bonus of the "I do" rhinestone stickers for the bottom of your shoes (which was included in the May box).
Below are pictures on the items:
The lollipop is super cool, and I'm thinking of using it as a favor for some event, be it mine, or another friend that is getting married. I would have never thought of this without it being including in the box. According to the site you can customize them as well, with over 1,000 flavor combos. (And chances are I'm looking for boozy ones).
The rose petals are really neat too, you can customize them by what you want to have written on them. These would be nice to use as an outer edge to an isle runner or scattered on the table at the reception.
The sparklers are sparklers, I am most excited to use them at the wedding for the slow shutter time whimsical, fairy tale looking pictures. :)

You can purchase each of these items individually via the links or at www.thebridebox.net
A few things that I am most excited for are:
- The bath bombs, because even now they smell FANTASTIC!
- The non-damaging hair ties, because there is 1 in my wedding colors, and another that is sparkly white! YAY!

The "I do" stickers were a great surprise. They can double as my "something blue". And since there is going to be a shoe change at some point in the evening I want to get/makes ones that say "I did" for the reception shoes.

9 Months to go
9 months until we are married!! We are in single digits now!
What has been done with vendor:
1. We have flowers
2. We have photographer
3. We are signing DJ in 2 weeks
4. Have gotten quotes and deciding on cocktail hour musicians
5. Talked and have options for transportation
We still need to set up a date and time to sit down with the officiant.
We are extremely close to finding my dream dress!!
Today I have a facial spa appointment that I won at the Brides for Breast Cancer event. Next week I am trying on dresses at 1 more boutique, and the following week I have, with my girls, a Mary Kay makeup day that I won via David's Bridal.
I made a picture book with our engagement pictures, it should be arriving in the mail next week.
We registered!!! Which was so much fun! Josh and I had such a blast and he was super excited to have the scanning gun.
Going forward for next month, I hope to have picked my dress. We need to offically book the ceremony venue, but there is still a lot of unknowns about it. We have another meeting with them on Monday to figure things out.
