A Southern Kind of Love: Move over Vera; I picked Monique Lhuillier!

After trying on literally over a hundred dresses since I got engaged, I found my dress today at Nitsa's Apparel in Charlotte!!!!! Nitsa's was above and beyond all the other dress stores that I have entered. They carry all the dresses that celeb's wear to get married (Monique Lhuillier, Vera Wang) and have amazing veils, belts, and diamond hair pieces. I tried on about 15 dresses there, but found my favorite after just 2. I kept going back to it even though it was all what I didn't think I wanted. I was set on A-line and lace when I walked in, but all the amazing couture gowns changed my mind! My favorite designer was by far Monique Lhuillier followed by Watters and Watters, and then Vera Wang. I really thought Vera was going to be the designer I chose; but it wasn't as ornate and couture as I had hoped. The Fall 2011 season of Monique blew me out of the water; it was all so unique. They had just got the runway samples in from New York for their weekend trunk show, and I was worried that the runway size would be waaaaay to small for my hourglass figure. But surprise of all surprises...I fit into every single runway size 0 perfectly. Talk about a confidence booster; guess my daily workouts with B are paying off!

Here are some pictures of the dresses that I didn't buy (not the best quality- they were taken on my iphone)
