So I went to the bridal salon of manhasset tonight and they were very behind so they asked if I wanted to go next door to Vera Wang and I feel in love with a dress that is dumb money!!!!! I am still on the search but I love this dress.....they got it right off the runway and it will only be there this weekend and then it returns in Sept.....but it is $6900!!!!!! AHHHHH... and then I try to rationalize me actually getting it....I better find something else that I love for way cheaper.....
Ok so here it is...the pic doesnt even do it justice....I am going tonight to Bridal Reflections so I am hoping to find something else that I love for cheaper!!!

wow that is one gorgeous dress....would they give you any type of trunk show discount?
There is a trunk sale in mid Sept and I would get 10% off....but still I am still looking at tax and alterations.... but it is better than nothing...it just looked so good on me...there were about 10 other people in the salon other than my girls and when I walked out everyone just stopped and said that was the dress.....I love it! YIKES!!!!

This happened to me and I tried to look for other dresses at other salons but NOTHING compared and I had the original dress in my head. The saleswoman also warned me of this before I tried dresses on - she wanted to know my budget bc she said you will most likely fall in love with a dress here and if it is out of your price range it is going to be difficult bc nothing will compare to it. I didnt care bc I really didnt think I was going to fall in love with something during my first try at dress shopping...oh was I wrong. Well needless to say, my mom loved it just as much as me and is helping me with the cost of the dress. I also got the 15% discount bc I returned for the KP trunk show.
If it is the one you love...you can make it work ! Some girls think it is nuts to spend that kind of money on a dress your only going to wear once...but I look at it as your only going to get married once and you should feel like a princess and if that happens to be with a 6000 dress than so be it !
I am def not the one to talk to if you want to be talked out of it
Go for it girl, it is an amazing dress !

I just found out Vera does free alterations so that is another rationalization for getting it!!!!

Oh that's great to know....between spending no money on alterations and a trunk show price you should be able to save money...
I got a KP dress and spent a fortune so I'm really bad at talking people out of what they love....I would def shop around and see what else you find similar and then if you can't find anything try to convince urself to go with the Vera gown.
ps....this gown would look GORGEOUS with the manolos you bought

Oh I had them with me and when everyone in the store gasped at how great the dress looked on they saw my shoes and it was all over.... I so love it!!!

Oh I know...I rationalized spending a ton on my Manolo's so if I don't find anything else I know I can 'talk' myself into getting it.
