Another venue OUT

The wedding drama never ends. It’s been a few weeks since we first stopped into the Vintage Motor Club in Concord. I wasn’t completely sold on the venue but for the price and location, we thought it would be doable. Also, it fits 300 VERY comfortably AND they were willing to let my mom cater the wedding. It was charming enough and maybe we could play up a vintage theme around all the classic car images and indoor (non-working) gas station decor.

Ugh, that all changed Tuesday. Apparently, the venue now has an exclusive caterer from Charlotte (Best Impressions Caterer). And the guy was just like, I know how important it was to have your mom cater, so we wish you guys the very best. I mean, no discussion about it at all.

Seriously, it must be something about me wanting to sign off a chunk of money to a place that makes them want to say, eh – nevermind, we don’t need your business. (Not really, but ugh, I’m wining).

So I guess I now know why I wasn’t completely sold on the venue. What a week!

So soft, so sweet

This dress was so soft and so sweet. Loved the tulle - although I was scared Sebastian would tear it up from jumping on me.

And y'all, we got out a veil for this one.

Gotta be honest - did not like the belt that came with the dress (featured in the photos).

This could've been the one... But, it just made me feel pretty. And it's totally the dress I would've picked out for myself. No surprises with this one. Is that a bad feeling to have?

Random note - I just love my facial expressions in these dresses. LOL.

Hello, drama!

Look how dramatic this dress is. I LOVED it's dramatic flair!

And damnnnnn, my waist looked small. But I did look like I had a front pouch. LOL.

All kinds of bad

I think my face says it all. This dress was all kinds of bad. LOL

I'm sure it could be beautiful on the right bride, but not me.

Cake toppers!

I seriously have tried on every kind of dress out there. Some people call them princess dresses; some call them ballgowns. I call them cake toppers, because seriously y'all - I feel like I should be on top of a really big cake. Gotta say though - these dresses were so much fun to try on! They're so full of life and personality.

Just not quite for me...
