Wedding Dresses

One thing I probably will not post about much, is wedding dresses. The reason for this is a simple one. I already found a dress. It's the only detail that I am set on so far, in fact. My mom agreed to buy it for me because I think she loved it too. I'd love to post a picture of it or even me in it, but I don't want the groom to see! So perhaps I'll post after it's been worn! Until then...

There are all kinds of dresses out there. Classic, vintage, princess style, couture... I traditionally think of David's Bridal when I think of buying one. But there are almost invariably other boutiques in every area. I just happened to find mine at David's on my first trip there.

There is the website route as well... you can find almost identical dresses from David's at Davinci's online. However, I personally know I cannot just know I will love a dress unless I try it on.  And ordering online with things like that makes me nervous. I read about it and I'm sure it's a legitimate place to get a dress. I just know that not every style or dress looks good on my body and I like to see it first. I don't catalog shop either, so if you can do that then this may be a good option for you!

Also, I ended up loving a dress that I tried on "just 'cause." I saw a picture and it wasn't my "style" at all. But when I put it on (the first one I tried on, in fact), I absolutely loved it! I have looked for other dresses that I would love also, but I find that I just want to find a dress like the one I already picked out. Besides, they are often more expensive anyway!

Having been a 3 time bridesmaid, I know that some people have certain priorities with dresses and mine are these.

• Looks good on me and is flattering to my figure
• I love it and feel beautiful in it
• Not too expensive
• Classic idea but Unique
• Fun and formal at the same time. Nice enough for an evening wedding but with fun flair.
• Reasonably comfortable so I can breathe! 
• Something I can manage to walk in without tripping (we'll see if that actually happens! :)

The dress I found fits my body and my personality perfectly and that's why I love it!
