First Dress Shopping Experience

Last night I went dress shopping for the first time. I went with my mom and one of my BM's (my MOH, who is my sister just had a baby so she couldn't go) to Bridal Reflections in Massapequa. We are old family friends with the owners so I know I will be getting my dress there. I tried on about 10-15 dresses and narrowed it down to 6. They suggested I go to the Carle Place store since they have more of a selection and have more dresses in my price range. So I will probably go there in a few weeks and then they will ship all the dresses I like to one store so I can try them on all together.
I have to say, I honestly wasn't all that excited to try on dresses and I definitely didn't get 'that feeling' about any of the dresses. However it was kind of hard to tell because only one of the samples fit me correctly. Anyway, here are 5 of the 6 that are currently in the running. The 6th is a Marissa dress, which I can't find on her website, so I think it might be last season. But it is just plain satin with no beads or anything, strapless with the pick-up skirt. If I do wind up with a strapless dress I will probably have spaghetti straps added.
