We recently ran a contest on our Facebook with HUGE success, so we decided to do it again! Only this time it's especially for brides-to-be who are blogging wedding bliss! BUT we are limiting it to 30 bloggers so time is of the essence!<br /><br />I tried sending you an email but it bounced back. If you're interested in learning about the contest (A Free Wedding Video and $250 gift card is the prize!) please email me at caitlin@storymixmedia.com.<br /><br />Sorry if this sounds spammy :(Caitlinhttp://weddings.storymixmedia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-70634429611466305792011-07-22T12:38:42.022-07:002011-07-22T12:38:42.022-07:00I think it's completely normal to feel like th...I think it's completely normal to feel like the dress doesn't measure up to your dreams.

In the end, I knew I would never find what I wanted without making it, but I settled for a dress that I believe worked out better than I could have imagined, if that make sense. Sometimes, all the pieces just fall together, no matter the circumstances or how much you plan. In the end, it all works out!
