Wedding Wednesday – Saying “Yes” To Another Dress

 

Happy Wednesday everyone! It is VERY believable that the week is almost over. It’s been a very busy week already so far and I imagine it will continue to be until the weekend! It’s tradeshow season in our industry so I am on the roads lots now!

I am slowly but surely crossing off items on the wedding to-do list. Although, still alot of items to take care of but I feel in control again. This month has been CRAZY for getting things done! It’s been item after item that had to be taken care of immediately.

As I mentioned last week one tradition that Ryan and I will be doing is the “Last Dance”. The Last Dance will happen towards the end of the reception, after the midnight lunch, at probably 1 – 2 AM. Ryan and I want to depart for our honeymoon when we still have guests there but not leave too early as to miss the party!

In the final moments before we leave to start our honeymoon we will say good bye and thank you to all of our friends and family. We will then share one final dance at our wedding and leave together to start our new lives together.

A little corny, yes. But I really want to soak in those last few moments of our wedding!

The last dance isn’t a tradition that is very common now a days. Being that Ryan and I decided to leave on our honeymoon immediately this posed a problem with my wedding dress.

I didn’t want to have to wear my beautiful wedding dress to the hotel and then on the plane. What would I do with that dress all week?

That’s when my Mom suggested that I do what she did when she got married and change into a “going away outfit”. I thought that was a great idea. I would change into my going away dress before Ryan and I have our last dance. Then, my wedding dress would be left with Mom and would be safe and sound!

Once that detail was decided it was time to find another dress.

I didn’t want to get another white wedding dress. I wanted to get a dress that was classic and that I would wear again.

I had lots of intrigue during the time of the Royal Wedding. I love everything about Kate and her style.

When Will and Kate visited my own neighborhood of Canada, she wore this beautiful navy lace dress by Erdem. It was a classically beautiful dress. It looked vintage inspired yet still very “now”. When researching for a going away dress I thought this would be perfect!

Of course, the original is both unavailable and way too expensive but now that the dress is famous there are a couple of knock off’s. One being at Macy’s. Luckily for me, Macy’s now delivers to Canada!

I ordered the dress in my size and in less then a week it was on my door step, woo hoo!

Yesterday was the first time I tried on the dress even though I’ve had it for a week (yes, it’s VERY busy) and I am so happy to report that it fits like a glove! The navy lace is soft, delicate, and goes perfectly will my wedding shoes!

It’s a very special dress that I believe I will get alot of wear out of. It will always have special meaning between being a replica dress that Kate Middleton wore in Canada as well as the dress I will wear as I leave for my honeymoon!

  6. I don't know whether it's just me or if everybody else experiencing issues with
    your blog. It seems like some of the text
    within your content are running off the screen.
    Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
    This may be a issue with my browser because I've had this happen before. Many thanks

  7. Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for
    my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty
    finding one? Thanks a lot!

  8. Hi there! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a template or
    plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you
    have any recommendations, please share. Thanks!

    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved

    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

  11. When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added
    I get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you
    can remove people from that service? Thanks a lot!

  12. Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  14. Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to make a top notch article…
    but what can I say… I put things off a lot and never seem to get anything done.

  15. I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
