The Dress!

September 28, 2009

Whitney1

I picked out my wedding dress!  It was so easy quick and easy, I’m still pinching myself.  The “solid silk chiffon Whitney” was the second dress I slipped on at the J.Crew bridal trunk show and it was THE ONE!  The gals at J.Crew were amazingly helpful, especially my sweet as can be “wedding specialist,” a fellow “Kate.”  She was wonderfully down to earth and brimming with great tailoring suggestions and such.  She totally understood my desire for low-key, casual wedding (we’re saving our pretty pennies for Buenos Aires!) and I think the dress will be perfect for our garden setting.  That’s right, we picked a venue too!  John and I will be exchanging our vows in a little community botanical garden we fell in love with in the old neighborhood.  It’s a little oasis tucked away on a quiet Manhattan street.  We can’t wait!

    Thanks pillow mint! I haven’t decided yet on shoes…probably a pretty sandal or some ballet flats. That’s next on the list…. Good thing I have until next may : )

    I love it! It is soooooo pretty, exactly the type of style I want one day. Something crisp white and simple, yet so pretty! Love it and I love your blog as well :)

    beautiful! great choice, Kate! I think having your husband-to-be in a casual bow-tie getup is going to be just right. :)
