I had my first dress appointments last week. I have admit that I was a little nervous about finding something that I like. And a little nervous that the sales ladies were going to keep putting me in a big fancy ballroom gown with lots of bows.
My very low expectations paid off! Because I had soooooo much fun and found several dresses that I LOVE!!!!!
I first went to Anna Be . Anna (one of the owners of Anna Be) was so kind to show me the ropes and help me try on dresses. She immediately recognized my fear of a big ballroom gown swallowing me up. And found me 4 dresses that I just adore. Evidently, I really like Vera Wang. 3 out of the 4 dress were Vera Wang.
Then I was off to Priscilla of Boston. A previous client of mine told me how wonderful Melissa was at Priscillas on helping her with her wedding gown. So I requested her services for me. And she was was right. Melissa was extremely helpful. I found two dresses there that I love. One was by Melissa Sweet and the other one was by Reverie. Melissa was also patient on pleasing my friends on making me try on a couple of short dresses which made me look more like a flower girl rather then a bride. Not a good look for me!
I am going to Blue and Bellezza Bridal next week. I will keep you posted on how that goes.
We have made the decision to get married in my hometown of Cape Girardeau, MO in October. They suggest ordering the dress 6 months prior to the date. I have got to make this decision quickly!!!! Among many other decisions.
Thank you for all your emails and comments. I loved them all and found them very helpful. Keep them coming!
