I was considering wearing the pale green dress I wore to my sister’s wedding for my own wedding, but I was also open to the idea of getting a new dress. Obviously, I am talking about a new party dress – not a real wedding gown, which I know easily runs into the thousands. I figure I can get a dress I like and can wear again for around $200.<\/p>\n

The things I have to keep in mind, though, are that: one, my wedding is very informal (outdoors in Joshua Tree National Park); two, it will very, very hot in June; and three, I have two events I can shop for (wedding ceremony and reception are on different nights).<\/p>\n

My mom was horrified to hear that I was planning on wearing an old dress for my wedding. After lots of Korean disgust sounds (sounds like guttural hissing) my mom insisted on paying for a new dress. Fine, I can live with that.<\/p>\n

So,\u00c2\u00a0 last night while Bella and Dawkins traipsed around the Shops at Mission Viejo, I tried on several dozen dresses at Nordstrom’s, which is where I found the last dress I bought. Here are a few that I liked. Some I think would work to wear for both nights. I did try on a number of white dresses, but none of them made the final cut. I put the first two dresses on hold – but I think I will look around a little longer. (Besides, I enjoy trying on dresses!)<\/p>\n

My favorite so far. This one could work for both nights.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 This would only be good for the reception – but I liked how light and frilly it was.<\/p>\n

Same for this one; it would only be good for the reception. <\/p>\n

And a cute dress by Donna Riccci for under $100. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
