Wedding Dress Shopping with Aimee

Last Friday the girls & I went wedding dress shopping with my sister, Aimee. She is getting married on the beach so she didn't want to go to the "normal" bridal boutique and try on expensive long flowing dresses. So, we went to Fashion Square mall in Scottsdale and although it was a mall I felt like it was a bridal boutique when we looked at a store & the dress was 700 bucks!!! It was fun to be with her, and the girls felt like a grown up for getting to go "shopping" with Aunt Aimee. They LOVED the dresses. Every time they saw a color they would say "Cinderella, Aurora" or whatever Princess might wear that color.They found their "Cinderella" mannequin
This was the first dress she thought she might like...we were digging the black socks!!


She was discouraged at the end because she thought she was going to have to go to a boutique after all, until she found the Black & White store. Here is where she found "the dress" for a great price.


She is beautiful & the lady helping her kept saying it so the girls found their own dressing rooms & both would come out saying" I'm so beautiful"





It will look so beautiful on the beach with a flower in her hair. We had such a great time with her & it was fun to see the huge smile not leave her face once she put the dress on. The dress is hanging in my closet to make sure she isn't tempted to show Glenn, but we can't wait to see it on her for real.

You can totally tell that she did not like the first dress in your pictures but loved the second. Look at her face with the dress she purchased. It will be a lovely dress for a beach wedding. Loved the girls wrapping themselves in the dresses too. Cute.

What a fun experience. It's great your family is close enough that you can do this kind of stuff together.
