I finally did some dress shopping on my birthday. I went to one shop here in Des Moines and tried on probably a dozen dresses. They wouldn’t let us take pictures, sadly, but these are the official photos of the five we liked best.
None of them were quite perfect, and all were a trifle expensive. I have a really good idea of what i want now though, i think…
I really kinda like the skirt on this dress, and the calla lily boquet is a bonus.
This dress is so pretty. And i love the bride’s hair, too.
I kinda love these balletic off-the-shoulder necklines, not to mention all the pretty lace.
I’m really starting to like dresses with floral embellishments.
Another lovely Alvina Valenta gown.
This dress is so pretty, but i doubt i could pull off a form-fitting skirt.
I'm Steph, and this is my little space for keeping all of the photos i find inspiring as i plan my Des Moines, Iowa wedding for the spring of 2011. I'd be very happy to get some input on the things i post! I'm also on the lookout for nice venues in Des Moines, so if you know of any please drop me a line.
