I have bought my wedding dress!!

Hey everyone! So on friday i went to The Perfect Dress at 11 to look at wedding dresses. My mother came with me to the appointment and we were given a consultant to help me find the style i liked best. We were there for a couple of hours and i tried on tons of dresses. I had originally thought that i wanted a wedding dress that looked like a yellow dress Belle wears in Beauty and the Beast and though i did find a beautiful dress in that style, i ended up falling in love with a more form fitting style with a trumpet skirt that was cover in tiny lace work and beading. I thought that dress with a crop jacket was perfect and just the dress for me. After we left there my mom suggested we try David's Bridal just for fun. I got there with the mind set i was just trying on dress for fun but would find nothing. Again we got a consultant to help us and after looking through a magazine i showed her the style i liked. She grabbed about 5 dresses for me to try on and the first few were nice but didnt really interest me. Then i got to the 3rd dress. It looked a lot like the dress at The Perfect Dress except there was less bead work on the bottom part of the skirt and it came with a beautiful beaded and lace jacket. The jacket has three-quarter length sleeves and will be perfect for a fall wedding.  The dress was light ivory with a very vintage and antique look and i immediately fell in love with it. I tried on the rest of the dresses and then put that one on again. I kept looking at myself and loving it more and more. The consultant grabbed some beautiful shoes to try with it and they fit perfectly. I was 99% sure i wanted that dress, but still wanted some time to think it over so we made an appointment for 3 the next day to come back.  When we came back on Sat i brought my mom again but also my friend Jessica who is a bridesmaid.  I just tried on the one dress from the day before and loved how i looked in it. Jessica thought it was definitely me and after trying it with different veils and stuff i decided it was the dress that i wanted. I got the shoes that i tried on with it as well. I can't believe i now have my dress!! Its so nice to have another major thing done but still so weird at the same time. I can't wait now to wear my dress for bridal pics and of course my wedding! It is so amazing! Now i can move onto thing like the photographer, cake, flowers, etc! Ill let you all know when more is decided! : D

  1. How exciting! Dress shopping is so fun. I want to see it! That is where i got my dress too. Do you have to get it fitted or anything like that? Does it have a bustle too.. or is it shorter in the back?
