Thanksgiving is such an amazing holiday where we can be reminded to be grateful for those around us and for the blessings that we have received. So I decided to pull together a few of my favourite quotes about gratitude from our modern-day prophets and apostles from the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints to remind us of the importance of being grateful in our everyday lives.
These quotes can uplift and motivate us to strive to be more grateful in our everyday lives. They are a reminder of how gratitude can change our outlook on life and in return make us happier and more productive people.
I run an LDS meme page where I share quotes and memes that can help bring unity to members across the world with either a relatable joke or and uplifting quotes. @armyofhelamemes where many of these are from and tagged in the picture as well. Feel free to like and follow my meme account //Facebook @armyofhelamemes // Instagram @armyofhelamemes //Pinterest @armyofhelamemes.

Planning a wedding is super stressful and a lot of work. A lot of the time we forget the smallest details and it makes our big day an extra stressful mess. This is why I went on Pinterest for hours trying to make sure I covered every single detail of my wedding to make sure that nothing went through the cracks.
As a Member Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, there are a lot of extra steps that people outside of my faith do not have to worry about. So when I was looking for a wedding checklist it was a lot harder because there isn’t that much LDS wedding content. That’s when I knew I needed to make this list so that I can help other LDS girls plan their wedding and not stress nearly as much!
This list should have everything but if somethings do not apply to you feel free to skip over them. Every wedding is different so I hope this can help you as much as possible!

Let’s be honest, dressing modestly is kinda hard. Unless you live in Utah then it is a little easier with more options. But it can still be hard to dress cute and Trendy and still keep your standards.
I use to hate dressing modestly, but only because it was so hard to feel cute and confident in clothes that aren’t that cute or flattering. But now with so many more options, I love dressing modestly.
If you are about to become a Sister Missionary then this list will save your life!
I asked around and found as many Modest Dress stores as I could and here is the list! Hope this makes your life a little easier!
Ultimate Modest Dress Guide
Some of these stores are not all modest but tend to have a lot of good modest finds along the way. So definitely worth looking through all of them! These are all brands I trust and love. I have bought a lot of my own dresses through these sites!
I have also created an Amazon Store Front with all of the Cute and Modest Dresses on Amazonclick here to go to it!
When I was looking for a Temple Dress I was shocked that there really weren’t very many options. I knew I wanted to feel comfortable and confident in my dress. Especially when I go to the Temple for my Sealing or my Endowment. Luckily I found one I loved in time, but I was cutting it pretty close to the deadline! After I got endowed and lived in Utah for a bit, I learned of all these amazing stores that also sold Temple dresses! I was so shocked and I was so in love!
I kept telling everyone who was about to get engaged all these amazing stores they need to check out before they find the one they want! Because Deseret Book is great, but their options are very numbered.
I decided that when I made a blog I would have to make a list of all these amazing stores and help others feel comfortable and confident while in the Temple. I hope that this list helps you and that you can either find the dress of your dreams or replace your older one!
Chances are you might know these Stores already!
You might already know a lot of these stores but would never have guessed they also sold Temple Dresses. I asked around and hopefully, I found most of the stores that have Temple Dresses, if I missed one, please feel free to contact me so I can add it to this list!
Make sure you share this post with other LDS girls about to get endowed! This may make their life a little easier! This is a great way to minister to those about to get married or endowed!
What are LDS Temple Dresses?
For those of you who do not know what LDS is or what a Temple Dress is allow me to explain. LDS stands for Latter-Day Saints which means Members of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A Temple Dress is a long-sleeved Maxi Dress that is 100% White. You probably have seen a Temple from the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. They are GORGEOUS buildings that Members Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints go to Worship in. As Members, we wear white which symbolizes Purity and Faith. To learn more about LDS Temples, Endowments & Sealings click here.
Some people even wear Temple Dresses as simple Wedding Dresses, so even if you are not LDS feel free to check out this list!
These Were all the ones I could find! If there are any I am missing, please feel free to contact me and I will add them to the list!
I love the Temple so much and I am so grateful for all the blessings the Temple has given me and my family. I hope that as you prepare to go to the Temple you will feel comfortable and confident in your dress!

Top 10 LDS Quotes To Get You Through The Hard Days
I just got married last year and the biggest Wedding problem I ran into was finding cute but modest bridesmaid dresses. Especially when I wanted a certain shade of green. I can’t even explain how frustrated I got. Luckily I had a bunch of amazing bridesmaids who helped look around the web and find any dress that fit my description. Eventually, I found the perfect bridesmaid dresses from Lulus.
I promised myself once I made a blog I would have to create a list of every dress shop that had a bridesmaid section and had as many modest options as I could find. I found as much as I could and they are all linked below. If you are looking for just any type of dress that could work as a bridesmaid dress, I highly suggest checking out my blog post called 41 Online Stores That Sell Modest Dresses. There are A LOT more options on that blog post. But for this one, it is just shops that have a section dedicated to bridesmaid dresses.
Why These Stores?
I love and trust all of these stores. I have bought dresses from so many of them or I have had friends that have. They are all amazing stores that I respect and adore so much!
I feel like a lot of bridesmaid dress stores that I looked at that were not these I didn’t trust them or thought they could potentially be a scam. But with these stores, I am not worried about that at all!
Hope These Help!
I hope these dress stores help you find the bridesmaid dresses of your dreams! Also that they look absolutely stunning in your Wedding pictures!
If you want more dress options that aren’t “technically” Bridesmaid Dresses but still could work. Check out my other blog post 41 Online Stores That Sell Modest Dresses.
