I have to share dress pics with someone, right?

[enfianced]

So, I''m trying to keep my dress pics as much of a secret as possible. Only my mom went with me to dress shop, and so far I haven''t revealed any pics to anyone (friends, wedding party, bf, MoG, etc). However, I really want to share b/c I love my dress and I know you all are always sharing pics that I really enjoy, so here is my brief dress story and pics.

This dress is Jim Hjelm and I found it in a magazine before I started shopping. I was really drawn to the picture so one of the shops got it in for me to try and I truly fell in love with it. I still tried on many, many more before deciding for sure (when else will I get to try on every dress in a wedding shop!). It''s ivory silk taffeta, modified a-line and mermaid bottom with alencon lace detail. I am wearing a veil: 7-foot mantilla (my mom lobbied hard for the veil and won--I was resistant but now that I have it I love it!). The dress struck me as modern with a vintage vibe. I wasn''t into sparly, beading (which SO many dresses had) and the all-over lace look wasn''t really me either. Enjoy!
