The big shopping day

I'm not gonna lie... today is pretty stinking exciting because it's Wedding Wednesday and I get to post for the first time about my OWN wedding! After years of getting giddy with friends and clients over their big days, beautiful plans and gorgeous gowns, I'm giving it a go!! This weekend I'm heading to Seattle {my homeland} for venue visits, brainstorming sessions with some of my dearest lady friends and of course, dress shopping. Today, I've got dresses on my mind. Where does a girl begin with the dress shopping? First, I've been studying up on the 14 Must Read Gown Shopping Tips... obvs the title alone makes me feel like a fool not soaking that one in before we get started. Second, I've been perusing the pages of my copy of It's All About the Dress, just in case there is some life changing tips from dear Randy...

All of this "research" and I'm not going to lie: I'm vision-less, on a short time frame and getting pretty nervous. Current and previous brides, do you have any tips for this novice? Please pass along any wisdom or tips you may have!! :)
