So back in January or so I had an idea to try and find a camo dress to wear to prom, I thought at first maybe i could find some satin camo and have my friend Annie help me make one but i couldn't find any fabric. I had about given up on the idea when i came across a lady in Arizona who makes camo bridesmaids dresses and puts camo accents on wedding dresses. While looking through her selection of full mossy oak camo prom and bridesmaids dresses i found this one
and quickly fell in love with it! After showing the online picture to several people and getting approval i coughed up quite a bit of money and sent in my measurements. Then came the wait, you can ask my mom and Haley waiting for it to come in the mail nearly killed me!! lol
Well it finally came and was a little big cause my figure is stupid and i have a size 2 upper body and a size 4 hips, gets annoying, lol but luckily i have a mother who is excellent at making things fit with all of her Nutcracker experience and she fixed it up beautifully:)
After it was completed i took it up the the court house where i work because i had been telling my boss about it and she really wanted to see it and after showing it to her we did a display trip around to all the offices (I work with all women and so there was lots of squealing and giggling) lol after that i went to town to pick up Wyatt's boutonniere the ladies at Shirley Floral had heard all about it and made me bring the dress in to show them!! lol it was really funny.
The day of prom we got up early and headed to Brownwood for the district 4-H rifle match and spent the day doing this...
We took third place as a team and will go state this summer!! After Penny and Clara shot their relays we headed home to get ready for Prom..
Kelli came out to see Wyatt's reaction and help me get ready....
After Wyatt dropped me off he went and got ready right away not realizing it would take me quite a bit longer to get ready then it would him and he got in his tux and got hot and started getting antsy lol he came over before i was ready so Kelli locked the doors and wouldn't let him in lol she's a lot meaner then i am. My mom felt sorry for him and let him into the kitchen haha i finally got ready and he came into the living room and i got all nervous and didn't want to come out.......
As i entered he got a really fun look on his face and said "wow" and just looked at me then gave me a big hug...
Then we had the "see it has brown on it" conversation lol and he said he really really liked my dress:) And I pointed out my head piece which he really liked as well
(My dad cut the end off an antler and polished it for me then with Missy's help i picked out some embellishments and made it into a head piece)
Then he gave me the most beautiful corsage in the world....
And I discovered i have no idea how to pin on a boutonnière lol
We then proceeded to his house to show his mom and take some pictures....
and had a little fun....
then it was off to Prom where we took lots pictures, and danced the night away:) Lots of people we impressed with our get up and we got lots of fun compliments like "your dress makes me want to go hunting" lol It was so fun! When we went to dinner we got lots of funny looks and a few thumbs up:) Wyatt said he was very pleased with how i looked and felt like a princess! Here are some pictures of the fun (the prom theme was Mardi Gras)...
All in all it was a perfect fairy tale evening:)
I am so glad i choose to wear camo and to keep it a surprise! It was so fun and i was so happy that Wyatt was pleased:) Those of you who know me you are not at all surprised that i would wear a camo formal to prom lol life is fun.....
