Bye Bye Jasmine

Yep, that's right, my bridal shop no longer carries the Jasmine line. Why you ask? Because of my dress! Apparently it is due to the amount of effort (i.e. complaining, arguing, insisting that the original dress was not right, I imagine expletives were employed) that the owner of the bridal shop I ordered my dress from had to put forth in order to get me a replacement that was actually constructed properly. This isn't the first time they have had huge problems (requiring yelling at the owner) with them, so they decided it wasn't worth the difficulty. I have a vendor-relationship ending dress!



Dear dress,

I love you. You're perfect. I never want to look at another dress. However, I can never see your parents again. They have forever scarred me with this three dress fiasco. I hope you understand.

Love,

Jamie

Good wedding week

We officially have...

a cake baker
a chapel to get married in

and...



a dress that zips all the way!!!!!!


It is perfect! Needs only a tiny hem and a bustle! Cheers to making progress!


In other news, best wishes to blog friend and fellow GSW bride Liz on her wedding day!

In 12 hours, I will be trying on dress 3.0. Hopefully, this one will fit properly. (The third time's a charm, right?)

May have good news to share on Monday!

Dress 2.0 Fail

Well actually, it was more like dress 1.5 because the manufacturer believes that it was just a bad zipper and did not address the real issue. We are positive that the outside layer was cut too small because the inside layer zips just fine and fits perfectly. A real dress 2.0 will be demanded on Monday.

I did officially check one thing off of our list this week. Our reception site finally has our contract and deposit!

Dress #1 Fail

Text message to my planner at 2:47 pm today:
Zipper on dress broke had to cut me out new one being ordered karma owes me a damn good wedding

This is the best pic I have of the offending zipper.

I knew there was a reason I ordered early, plenty of time for a replacement dress with a working zipper

The good news: I ::love:: the dress. It looks even better in ivory than the white one I tried on. Now we only need to get one with a functional zipper.

Wedding Hair

I am impatiently growing my always shoulder length hair out so that I can have my hair just like this on wedding day. Except no veil. Whether or not I make it remains to be seen. Going to see my dress for the first time tomorrow!

Dress

I ordered my dress today. Pictures may or may not be coming sometime this week. Way to build suspense, right?
