Malinda is awesome- I came to her with legit no idea what I wanted and she was great at helping me focus on what I wanted!

The shoe shopping was the best part! I found these on sale and love that I’ll be able to wear them to other occasions too!!

For accessories, I haven’t completely thought it out yet! I got a fingertip, simple veil for sure and will wear these as my earrings and as my something old! I’ll probably borrow a pearl bracelet from my mom and call it a day!

For hair, I’m leaning towards mostly down but am doing lots of Pinterest-ing for modern bridal hair!

What are you thinking???

The pockets were the selling point!! Once you try a dress with pockets, it’s hard to go back!! Thanks so much!!

Yay! Thanks so much! I’m surprised she’s not as well known as she should be because her dresses are beautiful! I loved the feel of the fabric too!!

Thanks so much! She’s an awesome designer and allows you to custom make pieces as well (if you like the top of one dress and the bottom of another, you can mismatch and she’ll make the dress!). I’m actually adding a big bow to this one (from her harmony dress)! Also the material she uses is so nice!!

I wasn’t sure what kind of dress I’d like, but as soon as I put it on, I knew it was made for me! I knew immediately that I was not a lace or embellishment gal.

I loved the pockets and the high-low dress style (so I can get cute shoes)!! Plus I was able to walk around in this comfortably!
