Ask MM: Blog Edition

Another loyal reader and friend recently sent me several fantastic questions. I thought I'd start by answering the weddin'-related one!

"When are you shopping for a wedding dress? Or have you bought one? Do you have a silhouette in mind?" - Andrea (Drew, as she is to me!)

To answer Andrea's question: I think I'll be shopping for a dress around October. Being that I am all cliche and whatnot, I'm trying to shed just a few extra pounds before the shopping starts. I think I can get to my goal by October! (hope)

As for styles/silhouettes, I am truly going to just go with what looks best. I've barely worn any formal dresses in my life, so I don't know exactly what works well on me yet. But I do know I love "vintage" looking dresses, classic, and lace, lace, lace. Oh, and a little sparkle doesn't hurt either ;)

Let's first start with The Ultimate in Perfection: Kate. I DIED when she stepped out of that car on her wedding day.

And before her, was her inspiration: Grace. Again, the lace, I die for it.

I have always liked 3/4 sleeves as well. Why not on a dress?! They can be gorgeous!

Or vintage...

Or a great excuse for more lace...

I love love love all the detailed, scalloped and lace backs that are out there...

Ok. Let's pretend for a minute. I would never actually go "mini", but these are tempting!

Love it! Maybe for my "getaway" outfit :)

Tea length is also tempting because it shows off FABULOUS shoes so well!

Most likely I'll go for a sweetheart neckline, since those always flatter...

I've seen this dress all over the place lately - isn't it precious?

Dying for this neckline. Sweetheart, lace, and the sparkly vintage-ey belt. Love.

The cascading back could be pretty...

Or I might go more simple with a luscious satin...

But OhEmGee....is this classic silhouette dreamy or WHAT?

I guess you'll just have to stay tuned! I can't wait to go dress shopping. I wonder if it'll be like the movies/tv where the one that makes my mom cry is "the one"....
