Wedding Wednesday: I Said Yes to THE Dress!
6:27:00 AM
First things first, let me start by saying, a year ago today I agreed to meet a friend's brother for coffee. Who knew that we'd be where we are today with so many memories already made.
Happy Anniversary to my favorite person in the world. I love you Z.
Moving on from the sappy love shoutout - I SAID YES to the dress! Ah!! I am SO excited! Yes, that's a photo of it below but all I will tell you in that it is from my all time favorite Wedding Shop, BHLDN, Anthropologie's wedding line. When searching for a dress, a big worry of mine was that I'd find something that was stiff, itchy, and just too bridal for me. After a few dresses, I found one that really feels great on and that I feel absolutely beautiful in!
Ps. You know that it has to be something I can dance in. Ha!

Oh and the adorable monogrammed garment bag it's in? It is the perfect place to store my dress until the big day. Thanks to my girl Amy over at SewPeepsBoutique. Check her out!
Also, sorry not sorry that I continue to geek out about this whole engagement. All chances of me being cool as a cucumber during this process disappeared faster than the first half of my wedding budget. Ha! Which brings us to the next item on the agenda for today.
I received this adorable box last week from The Bride Box and it was the perfect Thursday pick-me-up! Seriously just love getting goodies in the mail especially if they are wedding related. The Bride Box is a monthly subscription for future brides that consists of a box of goodies for the big day. You can subscribe here. Trust me, it is so much fun to come home to this!
Ps. A full Bride Box review is coming up later this week. Stay tuned.
