My PB + J

Wishful Wednesdays : I wish I could wear my dress for a fourth time!

Starting today I will have two different posts for Wednesdays; “Wishful Wednesdays” brought to you by The Seattle Smiths and my “Weigh-in Wednesdays”. If you wish to get in on the action of “Wishful Wednesdays” click on the image below.

This weeks topic is:

‘I wish’ …. I could wear/could have worn ______ dress on my wedding day!

I wish I could wear my dress just one more time! I was lucky enough to have worn mine three times; putting that dress on my body brings back all the emotions and memories of that day. I loved my dress, it was what I wanted and more. I think if I were to get married today I would still go for my dress but would have tried on different styles just for fun. I love the mermaid look and Kenneth Pool has a dress I like but I will always love mine for it’s intricate beading, enormous scalloped train and the amazing comfort! The designer was Jasmine bridal and it was under $1,000 for an ivory Italian satin ball gown with a sweetheart neckline.

Below are a few of my favorite pictures of my gown! Wishing I could go back and do it all over again!




This was my second trash the dress photo shoot one year after we got married in 2008.

My all-time fav picture of this dress. The photographer and I were not trying to achieve an angelic look but it was so blustery that the scarf I was holding combined with the back light gave the most amazing shot. Love it.
This was my first trash the dress shoot where I literally trashed it in the ocean. Nothing a dry cleaner can’t fix!

Our wedding day, June 30, 2007


My hair/make-up

Of course there are more details to my attire that day like my perfect accessories, my Stuart Weitzman peep toe pumps and my custom Chargers garter.

Oh, how I wish I could relive this day all over again (and be that skinny again!).

    You have probably gotten more wear out of your dress than anyone I know. Maybe I should go put mine on, next time I am in Texas 🙂

    Ah! Thanks everyone and so happy to have new followers! I loved my dress and would wear it all the time if I could. I think I have gotten enough wear out of it though, it’s time to retire it or sell it.

    I love this idea for a post!!! Im gonna join in! Also, that blog link you gave….cutest blog ever! I want a cool and “designed” personal blog (even though only about 10 people read it! haha!). Off to do my Wishful Wednesday post (for next Wed!). So the deal is, she comes up with a topic and we also write about that topic? Or….are we supposed to come up with our own topics?
