wedding dress try-on sesh.

The last of my family has just departed from the week-long pilgrimage (supersadface) and I must say it was amazing to see them as always.  It always re-confirms the fact that all of us need to find a way to live closer to each other.  A total of 6 of us jammed into my tiny Brooklyn two-bedroom (and when I say tiny...I mean TINY) and we basically partied for a week straight.

The week started out with wedding dress shopping.  I came away with some GREAT ideas, and I have narrowed it down to two styles.  I started out at J Crew Bridal Shop in UES.  Fantastic service, and super cute and affordable dresses!!  Here's a few pics of what I tried on:

I really loved this first one I tried.  But I ended up finding WAY more awesome ones...

This was actually one of my MAIN contenders---until I saw how it photographed.  The middle is WAY too shiny, and it looks way more yellowy ivory than it does in person.  Auto out.

From the new Fall collection.  Reminds me of an old Vera Wang style.

yeah, i think not.

And here are a few from another bridal shop, The White Gown in DUMBO.  Super traditional wedding attire, which is not really my scene.  The customer service was also just EH and they would only let me take pics of my two favorites (umm, okay?).  Also didn't stay anywhere near my budget.  Still fun to try on, and I got a few cute sash ideas.

Whoa poof bride.  Way too BRIDES magazine for me.

I really LOVED this style.  LOVED.  Too bad it was 2x my budget : (

The ONLY part of this I liked was the button train.

Okay, so as you can obviously see I didn't end up choosing any of the styles here.  I can't decided between the two I actually DO like, and I really don't want B to see me in it before the big day.

And here's a pic of us girls before we went on the wedding dress shopping voyage:

love <3 (me, b, and rc)

So  there you have it, let the planning continue.
