Sorry this is long but...I need some kind of advice or something...

Okay... so my wedding is 6 months away and I've been to like 7 salons so far. I have about 5 gowns that stick out in my mind that I can definitely remember... I LOVE only one and its above my price range.

I just cannot spend that money on a dress. I can't!!! It might not seem like much to many people but $3000 is too for me, considering we have a budget.

Anyway, the other 4, I ALMOST LOVE and they are well within my price range. ... and i think maybe if I go back and try some on I might just totally fall in love with one of them???/ ... maybe??...

I am also going nuts because I cannot figure FH out! Everytime I try to feel him out on his tastes on a dress.. I get him going in a different direction. For example, I'll show him a ball gown with pleats one day and he'll say it was ugly.. then I'll show him another similiar ball gown with pleats another day and he'll say he liked it... Then he saw an alfred angelo (who i nevertheless love) in the wedding guide that had pink accents in it and he loved it... I HATED IT!!! It has a corset back.. which I hate!!!

I want him to love my dress and I want to hurry up and find one already... :

Is it really true that you have to LOVE your dress... anyone bought a dress they were just happy with... but weren't gushing over?

i dont know if to keep shopping or take a break for a while...or just buy one of the 4 I was happy with... I'm stuck.

Help!

UPDATE: HERE IT IS... I TRIED IT ON LIKE 4 TIMES AT THREE DIFF PLACES... AND MY SISTERS LOVE IT!!! NEVER GOT THE 'ITS THE ONE FEELING' LIKE.. ALL AT ONCE LIKE I WAS EXPECTING... IT SORT OF KINDA CREPT UP ON ME.. I'D BE HOME DOING THE DISHES AND THINKING ABOUT THE DRESS... AND THEN IT SORTA HIT ME... WAIT A MINUTE.. EVERYWHERE I GO, I KEEP TRYING ON THE SAME DRESS????!!!! DUH???!!! I AM SO EXCITED... I'M ORDERING IT THIS WEEKEND.

I would try RK and David's Bridal-what have you got to lose? I LOVE my dress. I wouldn't want you to go with a dress you didn't love. This was one thing that I woudn't settle for less than I wanted. My dress is $700 and it's perfect. Don't give up the search.

Ok, Word of advice. I know you may want your FH input on things but your wedding dress should be a secret. Do not try to 'feel him out' to see what type of dress he would like. He is not the one wearing it. No matter what dress you decide on he will love you.

Go to the bridal salons with an open mind. I took pics out of the bridal magazine when I went to try on some dresses. But, I ended up picking something totally different. It seems as if you are trying too hard to find the perfect dress. Trust me when you find the perfect dress you will know. The ones you have posted are gorgeous. But, you may feel it's not you.

Note: I didn't see your post of DRESS FOUND until after I wrote my post. What dress did you decide on??

Congrats!!!! It's a beautiful dress and I'm sure you'll look gorgeous on your wedding day I bet I won't fall head over heels on a dress either. I'm not a very emotional person... I'm still having problems finding my hall because none of them struck me as the perfect place to have my wedding. I have a couple that are growing on me...
