Deciding Between Two Gowns

Most brides easily find THE one and nothing else compares, but then there are a few brides that find two dresses that they love equally. Trying to decide which gown is the right one is very stressful because this is a one time decision that you have to live with the rest of your life. You don’t want to go down the isle thinking, I wish I had chosen the other one.
This list of questions should help to eliminate one of them. Be sure you take pictures of yourself in each gown; that gives you the image you’ll be seeing the rest of your life. Then ask…
~ Which one matches the setting and the ceremony site? Historical? Elegant? Outdoor? Traditional?
~ Which one matches your wish list? Review your wedding notebook; which style gown do you have the most of?
~Which one would you choose if money didn't matter? The bridal gown is the feature of the day, and will be the focal point of your pictures. How many wedding favors or reception food do you remember?
~ Which one is different from every other bride you’ve seen lately?
Now order your gown and finish planning your wedding the hardest decision in over.

Inaugural Ball Customers

As many others did we watched the inaugural activities on TV, while some of our customers had the opportunity to actually be there. One was a high school senior invited to the Youth Ball. Then Melissa sent some pictures of her in the dress she purchased to wear to the Illinois Ball. A former high school friend’s mom was helping coordinate the ball and ask their high school choir to reunite and sing in the hallways. Wouldn’t that be a nice reunion?!

Many were expecting Mrs. Obama to wear something more stunning, maybe I should send her one of my cards for her next formal event;)
