tarynifergavagozzo's biography
I never did the Prom thing in high school so wedding dress shopping (err, dress shopping in general) was completely new for me. Poof and lace and ribbon and a million buttons, oh my!
After browsing a few places in Danville and Concord, I finally took the advice of every bride I'd ever talked to and made an appointment at Trudy's in San Jose (www.trudysbrides.com). Kathy was my consultant and, from what I knew, the most experienced. I went to her with a plethora of pictures and- will admit- had a huge smile when she looked at me and said, "Oh, I'm going to have fun with this."
She brought me about 15 different dresses, 5 of which she said she had just gotten in about a month ago and was dying to see someone try them on. I've been "blessed" with child-bearing hips so most of the dresses she pulled out were the dropped-waist style. I had just a few rules: no glitter, no beads, no fancy stuff. Simple, simple, simple. So after trying dress after dress on, we took pictures of the ones we thought worthy and decided on a La Sposa Laurel 2010.
Dress #1. I liked that it was a different material on the bust.
Dress #2. I'm a sucker for anything one-shouldered. I LOVED this one but the back was a little funky for me.
Dress #3. I really liked this one, too, had it not been satin. I thought it was really flattering to my figure.
Dress #4. I wasn't much for the dress but really like the sweetheart neckline.
And THE Dress...
It's a gauzey type of material, layered and reminded me of a fountain. It's absolute perfection.
Some pictures of MY dress when it came in:
I decided to go with a traditional 72"x72" ivory veil for the ceremony and then the birdcage for the reception. Jewelry will consist of:
Eliot Danori Crystal Accent Floral Cuff Bracelet (Macy's)
Juicy Couture "Flowers & Bits" Chandelier Earrings (Nordstrom's)
Lia Sophia "At Last" ring (for my right middle finger)
Most importantly... the Shoes:
The picture does NOT do these shoes any justice. In person they shine like little diamonds that were shipped all the way from London Jimmy Choo.
I told my Maids of Honor that the last thing I wanted was a Bridal Shower, so instead they threw a cocktail party where everyone could donate towards "Taryn's Wedding Shoe Fund." Needless to say... I had to donate a whole $30 of my own money towards The Shoes. :)
