The dress.

Do you remember my first inspiration post? There I was dreaming about a dress that would be kinda simple, sleek, Greek goddess like. But along the way ~6 weeks :D I started to like more and more "classic" style. And with this I mean a bit bigger dress, with slim upper part and quite big skirt.

On Saturday we went to see this wedding outlet that I'd heard of. It's about 10 kilometers from Wroclaw, in a small village. I heard that you can buy dresses there in half price from the ones in the boutiques in city. So of course I had to see it.

I was being sceptic though, because all the dresses were suppose to be the same size, and I did not think that it would fit. So we went there with not too high hopes. The outlet was very far from my image of outlets - it was a small building on the sales person's backyard. I was also expecting there to be a buzzle on Saturday afternoon. But no, luckily we were the only ones.

After showing some pictures of dresses I liked the sales lady brought me some for trying. She was saying right in the beginning that she does not have these Greek-style delicate, elegant dresses. But I still wanted to try something. Apparently the lady thought that the dresses in the shop would be too big for me, so she brought some special ones from the house. But like often happens, I'm not so petite as people think :D so the first dresses were too tight. As we had "a small" language barrier me not speaking Polish and the woman knowing two words of English and a bit of German I could not really tell what I liked in the dresses and what not. Well, actually I did not really like the first dresses...

Then I saw one dress hanging there, ready to be tried. And immediately I knew I would like it. So I tried it and it was perfect despite the fact that I should wear 12cm heels that it wouldn't be too long. It fit very well, thanks to the corset on the back love it! It was beautiful! All my fears of looking like a 5 year old stuck in her mother's dress flew out from the window. That was it, I had to have it even it was nothing like the ones I was first thinking. The only thing I was thinking was that "I was not supposed to buy the dress on the first attempt!" but then I thought why not. Who says I shouldn't. So I did. And I'm so happy. It's gorgeous. ;)

I GOT THE DRESS !!

There will be no pictures, because I don't want to reveal such a big thing already now. And the few pictures taken quickly in the shop, wouldn't do justice to the dress. But if you want you can try to guess which one it is, it's on the outlet webpage at least for now. ;)

Inspiration

For us it felt very natural that we would get married rather soon. But we wanted summer wedding. So we have decided that our wedding will be next June here in Wroclaw (I will propably write more about the location later). Obviously hard-core planning started right away. I already have some ideas that I wanted to share....

I really like pastel colors, and what would be more suitable for wedding than baby-pink, -yellow and -green. I also like ever-so-boring beige and white. There should be lots of flowers. And candles. And maybe something glittery. And I absolutely L O V E these paper lanterns, M U S T  H A V E.

Right now I would like my bouquet to be roses, light pink and yellow. We'll see how hard it is to get them. ;)

 

Hair is very important for me, even I'm not hairdressing too much anymore (if I ever was). My hair is very Finnish, which unfortunately is not a compliment. So I thought I would get extensions, to get my hair to look as glamorous as in these pictures. I don't want it to be too sleek, I feel more comfortable with a little bit of hippie. ;) and I wouldn't need to stress about the hair, because these styles look better as the day goes by (at least this is what they always say in the women's magazines).

 

I like especially the ones with the headband, they bring greek goddess in my mind. Some "greek" style can be seen also in the dress style I like:

 

I'm both excited and terrified about trying dresses (I didn't yet). I'm little bit afraid if there is nice dresses for "under-sized" people like me. :P In my head I would look like a 10 year old who borrowed mom's dress. I certainly hope this image will change.

Despite the fact that I'm short, I wouldn't want to wear high-heels. I want to feel comfortable and confident, and I'm not used to any stilettos...

I'm sure that these ideas will develop and change and propably some are too expensive or difficult to fulfill, but it's a start, right?
