If you follow me on Instagram (@emiliestorey) you know that I said yes to the dress this past Saturday! I am so excited to have found the dress I am going to wear on the day I marry Aaron <3
I met my mum at a great bridal shop in Cincinnati, Ohio called Bridal and Formal early on Saturday morning. I was very overwhelmed at first, due to the amount of people there (they were having a trunk show that day) and the number of dresses they had. We were matched up with a bridal consultant, named Lacrecia, who was AMAZING. She was so friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable...it made the entire experience that much better.
I went in thinking I was going to end up with one specific dress that I had seen online and fallen in love with...and it was in my final two that I had to decide between...but I ended up going with a different one that Lacrecia had pulled for me to try. It is so gorgeous...it is comfortable, romantic, and fits our mountain wedding vibe perfectly. I can't wait to share pictures with you all!
Since the wedding is going to be so small, I'm not having a traditional bridal party that is part of the procession and stands up with us for the ceremony. However, I did ask my sister and two best friends, Michelle and Roxanne, to still be bridesmaids and be in pictures, get ready with me, and help in all the other ways a bridesmaid does :)
I didn't want traditional, match-y dresses for them, so I went in search of something unique. We found these great dresses from ASOS and ordered them online. They were only about $80 a piece, which was awesome - plus I love that they are all different, but work together.
Finally, the last thing on the list is to find a dress for my step-daughter, Aubrey. Again, I want something unique...so I've been looking at Dollcake and Tea Princess. These are both Australian companies that make amazing bohemian-style dresses for young girls. I have yet to pick which one I am going to order, but these are the finalists...which ones do you like?? I'd love some opinions! xx
Yay so exciting that you found your dress & had such a great experience! Love all of those flower girl dresses but I think the third one is my favorite.

I absolutely love the dresses you picked out for your girls and what a perfect price! I'm not much help on Aubry's dress but I think I like #2 and #3 the best!
