One Dress, Two Dress… |

Long, long ago, I bought a wedding dress. It was 2005, long before I ever had concrete thoughts about marriage—and long before I got back together with my fiancé. I found it while helping a friend pick out her wedding dress, and it was only $200! I figured that I could buy it then, and if I changed my mind later that I could always sell it or donate it to charity…
Now, it is later… I still love the dress, but I started thinking about looking for something different. The dress is classic, traditional, and lovely.
I don’t think that any of these words really describe me, and they don’t really describe the wedding that I am planning either…
I though this would be something I’d go back forth thinking about, but then I found a different dress that I love.
The new dress is definitely more modern, fun, flirty, and, well, more me. I think it fits the wedding that I am planning much better than the first dress.
(Side note: I actually bought both dresses on eBay… I’ll tell you all about that adventure in a different post)
In the first dress, I look like a bride. In the second dress, I look like a woman. On our wedding day, I think my fiancé would rather I look like the woman he loves not an idealized version of what a bride is supposed to look like. More than anything, I feel more like myself in the second dress. So, needless to say, I will be wearing dress #2.
Good luck on your own dress hunting adventures!

I Love the 2nd dress too and have looked on ebay and everywhere I can think of for 1 month now. I would love to know the website, brand of the dress if you don’t mind passing it along. It is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I have been looking for. I have also been to David’s bridal but, nothing was even close to your 2nd dress.
Sincerely,
Help, desperate!!!

Hi Ladies,
We’re so sorry but Calla Lilly Blossom no longer blogs for this site now that she has been a newlywed for over a year. I didn’t want you to think she wasn’t answering your comments, she just doesn’t receive notice of them anymore. My apologies!
