Flower Girl Frenzy

After months of procrastination, I finally picked out a flower girl dress for our perfect petal princess, Meredith. This is not just any flower girl. She is THE flower girl, and therefore deserves the best....and I think the dress I found yesterday is the one! You seriously couldn't ask for anything cuter. Much to my amazement [and dismay], it takes just as much ordering time for the flower girl dress than it does for bridesmaids dresses. The woman at the bridal store scolded me quite a bit for waiting so long! She started freaking out, saying, "Oh my goodness! They have to cut the material and dye it and tailor it...blah blah blah...Let me see what I can do". I knew full well the whole time that she would be able to get the dress to me before September 1st (it is a business, after all...and businesses have to make money), and all we had to do was put a rush order on the dress to get it by the second week of August. And while that is a lot of time for such a little dress, we made it happen. I'm just upset that I have to wait so long to see it in person. After quadruple checking to make sure we would have the dress on time for the wedding, I placed the order. Just in the nic of time, and it will be totally worth it... I am holding back quite a bit by not posting a picture of it for all to see, but I have to leave some surprises for the big day! My Mom keeps telling me to stop posting too much information about everything, but I figure why not? At least now everyone (everyone who reads this, at least) will notice all the small details that they ordinarily might not have...i.e. bathroom baskets : )

I am also excited to see how Meredith will do...she will only be about 2 1/2 in September....a lil' tiny one. She's a pretty outgoing girl, but may need a little coaxing down the aisle. I'm sure it looks like a much longer journey to her than it does to us! Although at the same time, she might just be confident enough to do it all her own. I guess we'll find out. Either way, she'll steal the show!

Picking out the flower girl dress also allotted me some time to try on my dress again. [did I fake you out by inserting a hyperlink there? While that is my designer, it is not my dress, HA!---nor is my dress currently on the Website. Yes, that MUST be a surprise for all!] After a couple weeks of bridal bootcamp I'm looking better and better in it! I'll find any excuse to go and try it on and stare at myself...or sometimes I'll walk in sans excuse... They are starting to get to know me pretty well around the House of Brides these days. I can't help it though, every day I feel myself getting more and more excited. Like now! Since I will not be posting the flower girl dress, I feel as though I should have some pic for your enjoyment, so here are some cute flower girl photos I found today (not half as cute as Meredith, though!)
