Y’all. I’m seriously getting into this boho fedora trend! You’d tell me if it was a mistake though, right?!?!! 😆 This was me earlier this month, all dolled up to walk the @camillesofwilm bridal runway show in a gorgeous @maggiesotterodesigns bridal gown. 🤍
I hadn’t put on a wedding gown in over 12 years since marrying my sweetheart and, believe it or not, I’ve avoided it altogether over the last year while working at the bridal boutique. I’m not exactly in the shape I was on my wedding day (who is?!?!!) and I dreaded finding out what size I’d fit into now. I make it a point to speak life into bride after bride, but somehow I couldn’t muster up the courage to do the same for myself. But I sucked it up (and sucked it in, lol) and it turns out that my size wasn’t nearly as bad as I had built it up to be in my head!
Can I just tell you how freeing it actually was to step into those designer gowns for the first time in over a decade? Every curve was expertly sculpted, every bead sparkled beautifully and every inch of lace and tulle made me feel like I was floating on a cloud. I relived the magic of 12 years ago, how pretty I felt in that moment and how all I could think of was, “I can’t wait for Justin to see me in this dress”. THAT is what every bride should feel like when they’ve found “the one”. And that’s what I do every week!
BTW… Hypothetically, what if I told you that a favorite local boutique is working on a capsule collection of private label hats for all occasions?!?!! 🤩
Hypothetically…….. 👒
