Sooooo I went to Flowerama in Glendale - and i tried on this dress that i DIDNT EVEN REALIZE was the dress I have been staring at on the website - it is amazing how different the dresses look in person!!!

so i tried it on first and then tried a few others but i couldnt wait to put the first one back on - my mom didnt like it at first but then i realized she didnt like it bc she thought it looked 'dirty' - she thought the color was white and it was just dingy or something but it was the ivory - it is going to look so much better in the white!

i loooved putting it on and i tried it with a veil and tiara - i ended up buying it and the veil and tiara too! my mom wanted me to go home and come back in a week after thinking about it. . . but i started to cry bc i wanted it (lol i am a brat!)

so here is the dress, i have no problem posting it bc it looks sooo different in person!! i took some pics in it but the dress looks terrible in them so i dont want you girls to hate it!!! it was a size 14 and i am a size 6 so i had to really use my imagination

i am SO excited - i wish i could show FH but of course he wont see it for another year!! i am going to make an appt to go look at MOB dresses and BM dresses there - i also have to take my FMIL to check it out too

<-- that's me right now!

Re: got my dress!

thank you ladies! i still cant believe it!

about flowerama - i had a GREAT experience there. the woman who helped me was Rhina (pronounced Reena) and she was a DOLL not pushy at all

there was a mixup and there were no bridal fitting rooms left so they took me upstairs and i had the entire bridesmaid section to myself which was perfect since i had my mom, aunt, sister and two cousins with me!! she was NOT pushy at all - she even agreed when my mom said i should go home and think about it! AND she picked out the perfect veil and tiara i ended up buying the first one she picked out for me!

they have a pretty nice selection of dresses and hte best part is they have a lot of them out on display so you can browse through - thats how i found my dress!

i am not sure of the prices BUT the most expensive dress i tried on was $2K and the least expensive was $600 - it was so funny bc my mom thought the $600 dress said $6000 and she was like screaming at me in italian to take it off right away before they made me buy it lol
