One of my best friends since childhood, we met in the first grade and have been inseparable ever since, is getting married next year and we have been planning everything from the fabulous bachelorette party, my maid-of-honor dress (her sister is the matron-of-honor), menus and cocktail selections, to the show-stopping wedding gown.

I always thought that I never wanted to get married, but as I've grown as a woman and have loved and lost, both my heart and mind have changed. I wanted to share with you guys inspiration for my dream wedding dress, inspired by my best friend.
