Yay! I am SO happy to report that we found and booked a venue today! We will be getting married at Nicholson Vineyards in Aptos! It's on Pleasant Valley Road— right between my parents' house and Travis' parents' house. It's absolutely gorgeous, and I can't wait to post pictures (we're going back next weekend to do all the paperwork, so I'll take a bunch of photos then and post them here.)
Our official wedding date is September 10, 2011. (I love the date: 9-10-11... so cool! Haha)
I think you all already know that my mom and I went to David's Bridal once to try on some dresses. I was positive I wouldn't find anything I actually liked there. I just wanted to get a better idea of the styles/shapes I liked. Well, I accidentally found the perfect dress! (Actually, it's not perfect... it has a horrid bow on the front that I will be removing PRONTO!)
I was hoping you'd all be with me when I found the dress, but I'll definitely bring you along when I have my first fitting, so you can see it in person and all that! (It has to be bustled and altered a little bit.) Wanna see it now, though? Remember... NO BOW! :)

Another thing I love about it is that it has hidden pockets!!! How cool is that??
So, what do you think? I'm sooo happy to have these two major components picked out because now I feel like I can really start thinking about the details (and we can figure out what you lovely ladies are going to wear!)
I'm soo happy to be sharing this with you, and I hope you're all having the best weekend ever!
xoxo
Ahhh! So many exciting things! That's Katie's family's vineyard, right? It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, that dress is perfect (thank god without the bow).
yeah, it's katie's family's! we saw her today and chatted for like an hour, it was so fun.
ReplyDeleteand yeah, DEFINITELY no bow! what were they thinking? haha
OMG amazing! I am so happy for you guys--I kept my fingers crossed all day. I cannot wait to see the dress in person too!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord I looked at the pictures before I read the post and immediately thought "Oh god, what is Kim thinking?!" Thank goodness it's without the bow. I like the detail on the top and the simplicity on the bottom. Way to go :)
