The dress is ordered!

After a very busy Memorial Day weekend, I'm back on track with wedding stuff.

Last Saturday Stephanie (my future sister-in-law), Megan (maid of honor) and I met up at I Do I Do Bridal to order my dress. They let me try it on again to take pictures. I tried on a couple different veils, and one of the employees (actually, I think she's the owner) offered to give me an updo so I could get the full picture. It was great. We picked out a pearl accented veil and headpiece and snapped a few pictures.

The bridal shop was kind enough to print out a photo on the spot of me in the dress. Since I've got about six months to wait for the dress, it's nice to leave the store with something.

We looked at the bridesmaid dresses in stock, but we didn't find anything like what we're after. Almost all of the dresses were made with heavy satin -- not really ideal for a late May wedding in Phoenix. Plus, I'm hoping the dresses can become "little black dresses" for each maid's wardrobe following the wedding. We'll see.

Expect updates on catering plans later this week.
