This week was full of fittings and trials for the wedding. As mentioned previously, I was not looking forward to my dress fitting and as the day approached, I really became anxious because I had no idea what to expect. Luckily like most people said it went perfectly fine. After grabbing a quick bite of dinner with Tim, I headed over to David's Bridal with my full dress assemble in tow. Heading back to the alterations department, I was a bit overwhelmed by a wedding party all getting their alterations done as well with dresses in the Malibu blue of my sash. While I love the color and it's a great in small doses, I'm not sure I would dress multiple people it and have them stand next to each other. My seamstress, Kim, was super friendly and helped me get into my dress since I was there solo. My first nightmare did not occur as she was able to easily zip up the dress. So I walked over to the mirror and Kim asked what my concerns were. I then admitted to her that this was the first time I had tried on my actual dress and she was a bit surprised. I explained that we just moved out here so the only person really around to help me get into it would be my fiance and that wasn't happening. So she gave me a moment to take a look while commenting that it didn't look like it really needed anything done. After a minute of looking it over and noticing it was a bit loose, she suggested we could take it in a bit. So she pinned that up, we grabbed some pictures and that was the end of that. Nice and simple. But while waiting for her to fill out the paperwork and just while talking to her about weddings and other things, it did hit me again that I wish I could be sharing this with my family and friends. There were other brides there with their mothers or sisters and sadly the only way to share this with mine are through pictures. I probably could have invited the woman who came with me dress shopping but as I was already nervous about the whole thing, I didn't feel like having people I don't know very well to join in. So that should be ready in a few weeks and then I'll ship it off to Rochester.
Yesterday was my hair trial. After discussing hair ideas with Tim to get his thoughts and opinions, I had formed a basic idea of what we'd both like. I then began hunting for pictures but was having a hard time finding exactly what I wanted. That was until the Royal Wedding :-P I wasn't a fan of all the hype but sadly Pippa Middleton's hair was exactly what I was looking for and therefore was the picture I brought with to the hairstylist. Apparently it's a very easy to do style that any stylist should be able to do so I don't have to worry much about someone in Geneva being able to do it. I think it turned out really nice and didn't take long at all to do. In order to "use" the hair, Tim took me out for my birthday last night and we got all dressed up. It was a lot of fun.
A friend had questioned that I was going to let Tim see my hair before the big day and again I explained it as I didn't want to waste the hairstyle and this seemed the best way to use it as I didn't have others to really go out with. I don't often think much about the fact that I live so far from friends and family but during this wedding planning stage, I sometimes wish I lived closer. I feel like I missing out sometimes on life experiences. Omaha is a great city and I love my job but I need to find someway to convince all my friends and family to move out here as well. I also of course need to start making better friends out here ;)
