Trying on dresses is hard work people! First off you're being looked at by every single person in a 50 foot vicinity, you have to manage to get this bra on that literally snaps up your entire back, you're trying on dresses that's roughly 2-4 sizes bigger than you normally wear, and you and a wedding gown associate are shoved in a dressing room trying to get this dress on you.
I had picked out two that I thought I would really love, and the associate picked an additional one that she thought I would like. After trying on the first one, it was just okay. Nothing special, and it didn't feel like it was "the one".
(This just was not the one, I wasn't a fan of the bow)
I decided to try on the one the lady helping us picked out..and it was beautiful. I could tell on my family's face that they loved it before I could even turn around to see it. I knew it was the one. It fit me so perfectly, minus the chest area sadly but that's with any dress for me. And it was on sale, only until Monday! I tried on one more dress after just to make sure, but nothing felt as special as the second one. So I put back on the "one" and we did the David's Bridal ceremony where I make a wish and say yes to the dress! I know that this is the dress I can see myself marrying Joe in and loving the way it looks! I am so, so excited!
No pictures of the actual dress yet, I don't want Joe snooping to see it before the wedding!
How many dresses did you try on after finding the one?
I can't wait to see pictures of it! When the day comes : )
ReplyDeleteI know, I wanted so badly to just post it on my blog. But it does need to be altered and it'll be more special to wait!
DeleteThat's so exciting! I remember finding my dress. I probably tried on ten dresses, and when I put mine on, it was love at first sight! I only took my mom to try on dresses and her face told me as much as mine did. :) I still love it and wish I could wear it again!
ReplyDeleteTrying on dresses is a tough job! I can't believe you tried on ten! you're pictures are so pretty!
DeleteI just got engaged, this has made me SO excited to try on wedding dresses

Oh my gosh, how exciting! I love reading other wedding planning posts, it makes me even more excited.
DeleteThanks for linking up and so happy you've found your dress!!!! I couldnt tell you how many I tried on but I probably visited 7-8 dress shops and ended up trying on the dress I got twice before I ordered it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Meredith! Wow, that is a lot of dress shops! I was just so happy I found it.
DeleteCongrats, so exciting! I went to David's Bridal just to try on dresses, too. I was surprised at the selection they had, it was way more than I had thought. Ultimately I got my dress at the second place I visited, I was expecting to have to try a lot more places! When you know you know ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I just knew! How exciting that you found yours too! When is your date?
DeleteEveryone says this is the part I should be most excited about but it's actually the one I'm most afraid of. I have such a hard time making decisions and I'm so worried that I won't find "the one" but just the "almost one" that I'll always wonder if I should have kept looking...
ReplyDeleteI thought that too, but I honestly think you wont even hesitate when you know you love one!
DeleteYAY!! Congratulations on finding the dress! So exciting! Also, your getting married on my birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh wow, That's my co-workers birthday too. I cant wait!
DeleteI cant wait to see it!!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to wear it again hahah!
DeleteHow exciting!!! My dress is also something the consultant picked out! So fun!!
ReplyDeleteI guess they really do know what they are doing!
DeleteSo glad you found it! It's so exciting and can check that off your list!
ReplyDeleteI think my consultant picked out mine too. I tried on a total of 7-10 dresses? But I tried on the chosen one 3 times. It was meant to be! haha
