04 Brides

Meghan have a great time!! Take some water with you it gets overwhelming in the rooms. It is very exhausting... Let us know how it goes.
Where are you going today?

Gosh... I think I am just going to Estelles to get some ideas, maybe Princess Bridal cause it is near there. I hope to make it to Macy's in Smithhaven, but not sure if we will. I dont really know anything else in the huntington like area??? I would love some ideas?
We are going to go one other day while she is here so what I dont get to today we will get to the other day.

Good Luck Meghan! Let us know how it goes! I am DYING to go looking @ dresses but I don't know if it's too early and if the people at the stores are going to look @ me weird! Although Meghan you are getting married a few weeks before me!! I think that is the absolute most funniest part of the wedding planning! I don't know how I will keep it a secret from FH we are the worst like that! lol

anyone else like that with FH?? We are constantly giving each other gifts before the 'occasion.' and we can't keep anything from each other-we are the worst! everyone makes fun of us!! haha

Hey! ESTELLES is a good idea!! I just told my mom and after almost choking on her orange juice (anything having to do with the wedding will do that to her lol) haha she said after the new year we'll go and get ideas!! WOOHOOOO!! Am I crazy to want to order my dress a year in advance

You can be honest lol I know I'm a nut!

Thanks Alison and Wanda! I am really excited. I know it is a little soon for dresses, but I really want to get an idea of what I want so I can order early. Also, I dont get to see mom much, so it is a nice thing for us to do together.

Off I go!!! (bringing a good strapless bra... is that a good idea??)

Alison you are not nuts. Nuts is me going to try on dresses in november! My wedding at that pt was 16 mos away!
The last time I visited Estelle's they had nice Mori Lee samples. They also have beautiful MOB dresses. I plan on going back to try on dresses next year.

I went to Lillette's and tried on about 10+. I walked out of there physically unable to think. It drained me out. I had a small breakfast and I was there for 2 hours.

Good Luck Meghan!! Have fun! I can't wait to go. I'm probably going to start in March during Spring Break (If I can't wait that long. LOL )

Wanda: I know me too. I had that same nervous feeling. Don't worry it will pass! I'm sooo excited for you! I'm so happy that things are coming together for you! Good Luck with everything!

I am 3 pages behind. I just cought up.
If we do a 04 brides gtg please no thursday nights. I bowl and I cant miss bowling. So please any night but thursdays.

I found a cute little bridal shop near me that I have heard are really nice and they have the dress I am in love with. So probably after the new year I will do the dress shopping The dress I love is from Ginza Collection. I cant wait to try it on.

Other then that not really much is new

I GOT IT!!!!!!
I had NO intentions of buying a dress today. But I did.
We went to Estelles. It was good for getting ideas, but I didn't see anything I loved there, and the sales ladies did not please me.

Then we went to Princess Bridal in Farmingdale. The service was good, I tried on a ton of dresses, and I found one I REALLY liked. I was not crazy about the place though, they tried to avoid telling you the designer of the dresses, and I think they were lieing when they did tell. I did not feel comfortable buying a dress there.

Last I went to Macy's in Smithhaven. The girl there was excellent, and I again tried on a bunch of dresses. I found one there very similar to the one I liked at the second place, and I really liked that one too. I told the girl about the other dress, and she said she thought she knew the dress (it was the same designer), it was in the back because it had been discontinued, she got it for me, and it was the SAME ONE!!!! I tried it on again, and felt like 'this is it!'. She checked for me, but they said they couldn't order it (she had warned me of this before I tried it on). BUT-- its my size, as it is it would need very little alterations (miracle). I bought the sample. We thought it was a sign, the way the whole thing happened. It was half price. It needs dry cleaning, but it is in good condition otherwise.

I am so excited. I would have paid full price for it, but now I don't have to!

To top it off, mom insisted on paying (before we chose a half price one LOL).

Now I need to find a really good drycleaner that works on silk organza....

I never expected to get one this early, but I had that feeling....

You must be so excited!!

Congratulations!!!!!! Do you have a pic?

Congratulations!!!!

Meghan congrats!!! That is great you found the dress in one shot! It is different and very elegant.
YAYYY!!

Wow Meghan, it's beautiful!!!!!! Congrats!
