Yesterday evening, I went with my matron of honor to Davids Bridal to try on some wedding gowns. What I thought would be a 1 or 2 hour outing turned into a 7 hour adventure!
We arrived at David's Bridal at 4:30pm and quickly got me into some dresses. Rachel helped me into them all, doing up the corset backs, etc. Each and everyone of them looked good, and they all were similar. I couldn't remember what looked better than what, so we started taking pictures of them. Still didn't help, as the pictures didn't serve any of the dresses justice. Eventually, we narrowed it down to 2 dresses.
One was a bright white dress that I had fallen in love with back in January 2011. The detail work along the trim of the dress and train was beautiful. The back was a corset, so it was definitely a sight to see. It was the right size, but you could see a bit of my love handles in it. The cost of the dress was $500, which was a bit above my previous budget.
The other one was an ivory (more like soft white) dress that had a lot of detail work on the front of it. The fabric was heavier and covered all my problem areas well. The train however was NOT my taste. It just seemed so bland compared to the other one. But overall, I looked a lot better in this dress.
At $300, the latter dress won! I was so scared to buy it though for whatever reason. I had to give Rachel the credit card so she could get it for me.
Well, it's hanging up in my closet now, so ready or not, here I come!
