I had so much fun yesterday at Kleinfelds with my parents, FMIL, and one of my bridesmaids! The appointment started off a little bumpy when my consultant was really trying to push the designer who was there for a trunk show yesterday. I am very easily overwhelmed and frazzled so I almost cried after the first 4-5 dresses that weren't working for me and weren't what I wanted to try on. Once she moved on to showing me other designers, I fell in love with the first dress she had me try on! While my dress was surprisingly under budget, my veil took it way over the edge lol but it's GORGEOUS!! I'm so very excited to have this major check crossed off the list :)
The icing on the cake came when Nicole (the floor manager from the show) was taking my measurements and asked me where I was getting married. When I told her Bridgeview, she said she got married there 10 years ago and also had Kathy as her banquet manager! It's always so awesome to hear of other people who have had a great experience at the venue you chose.
I think im keeping the dress a secret for now but it's a beautiful Alita Graham gown. SO EXCITED!!!
