Dress Shopping update

Today was the first day I went dress shopping!!! The day started off me frantically looking for a strapless bra...(thought I owned one but didn't).

Then I visited three bridal salons. The three bridal salons I visited were all located in Brooklyn. I learned that although this is going to be lots of fun- I don't think I'm gonna find the dress that quick! I love corset tops A LOT!! HELLO WAIST!!! hahaha
I also wanted to mention that Valentina's Bridal Salon- EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Let me tell you- they have some GORGEOUS dresses there! My mom and aunt really liked one in particular, but, I never got that feeling like 'HOLY SH&&T BAALLLS...GOTTA HAVE THIS DRESS!' Yes, I'm one of those brides that has to have that feeling...lol.

Anyone else confused as to the kind of dresses they want? OHHH, I found out that eve of milady takes 10 months to come in!! Not sure if this was completely accurate though.
Another thing, can the same dress be less expensive in another bridal boutique?

Never had 'The One' feeling and I tried on so many dresses

Yes you can sometimes find the same dress cheaper at a different place

I would say keep looking since today was only your 1st time going

Since you never had 'the one' feeling- what made you buy your dress and do you ever have any doubts? I'm scared that if I don't feel that- I'm gonna end up with doubts. I just don't wanna expect to feel something, when in fact I won't ever actually feel anything. ohhh, the horrors of dress shopping!! lol

I knew it was the dress to order because after I tried it on I could not stop thinking about it..I waited a week or so and brought my mom to see it..she loved it and so I ordered

Haven't had doubts..I just keep wondering if FH will like it but I guess what is most important is that I like it

Glad to hear you had a good time!!

It is incredibly confusing trying to choose a dress- there are WAY too many options, lol! Keep trying on different styles- even if you don't think you'll like it. You'd be surprised!

I don't think I ever got the feeling. I didn't cry, there were no rainbows, a choir of angels didn't sing on high. lol! But I put on the dress and felt like a bride. I felt beautiful and I just didn't want to take it off. I had my dress regrets later on, but on the day of, I knew that I made the right choice. I flipping love my dress!!!

As for pricing- yes absolutely a dress can be more expensive at one place than another! And as for the 10 months thing. Most bridal stores tell everyone that every dress takes 10 months to come in! They told me 9 months for my dress and it came in in 2 months! Good luck!

When I first went dress shopping, I was convinced I was going to end up with a corset back Maggie Sottero but as I started trying on different designers and styles, I started to really get a sense of what I was going for and then I spotted my dress and knew that was the one.

I'm glad you had a great first time shopping experience. Don't rush your decision and enjoy the whole dress shopping experience. It's a lot of fun.
