Saying Yes to a Dress: Part 1- Damn you Pinterest!

Jenny Packham- Willow…the dream dress

I love pinterest. I was using pinterest before most people were using pinterest that is how much I love it. But, sometimes it can disappoint. For example, you find this really cool recipe for red velvet cookie dough dip and you click on it and it’s spam or you find this fun DIY project using paper towel rolls and chalkboard paint is just a link to a random tumblr page. Another thing that pinterest can do to you is fall in love with really expensive and impossible clothes to find. This happened to me when trying to research what kind of wedding dress I wanted.  I fell in love with Jenny Packham dresses. She is a British designer who has made dresses for everyone from Princess Kate Middleton, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Rhianna and Beyonce to Keira Knightley, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston to Amy Adams.  Not only I loved her dress Willow (the one pictured above), I loved all of them. After doing some research I disappointingly found out there are zero bridal shops in Ohio that sell her dresses and the closest place that sell her dresses is 4 and 1/2 hours away in Michigan. I was super bummed. Though it did eased my disappointment to find out that this dress was around $7,000. There was no way I’m paying 7k for a wedding dress that I was going to wear once. But I do believe that someday I will own my very own Jenny Packham dress. Maybe Phil will buy me one of these dresses someday…wink wink, cough cough.

This is a nice option…;)

Hey Phil! This dress is on sale!?! I think I could rock this one
