Yesterday I again went up to Portsmouth and met with our florist, Jardinière. I had an initial meeting with Kathie back in November, so this meeting was really just to finalize the choices we had discussed earlier. I think our whimsical choices like peonies and hydrangeas are going to add a wonderfully romantic element to the day.
After the florist I went for my 2nd dress fitting. It was perfect. The dress was so beautiful 2 weeks ago when I saw it, but now that it has been tailored just to me it is even better. Really all that is left for them to do is iron the dress. Cheryl, my seamstress, was so happy with how it fit and said "no offense to the other brides I've seen in this dress, but you are totally owning this style". Yes, I know she works in a bridal shop and probably says that kind of stuff all the time, but it still made me feel so pretty and excited to walk down the aisle wearing my perfect dress.
Now onto the shoes. I brought the new seafoam shoes with me and LOVED how they looked with the dress. The styles compliment each other so perfectly. The only maybe issue is hemline. As I mentioned before, my dress did not need to be hemmed at all, but with the new shoes it no longer touches the floor. The seamstress thought the dress needed to be 1/2 inch longer, while my stylist thought it was perfect. I kind of liked how the shoes just peeked out from under my dress while I walked, but will now need to decide if I want the front to actually touch the ground or not. Decisions, decisions.
After the whirlwind of 5 wedding appointments in 7 days, I have the next 3 weeks off! Plenty of time to wrap up the final details and enjoy my bachelorette weekends :)
