It's Official - I said YES
I said YES to the dress!
I went dress shopping on Friday with my mom for the first time and I actually picked a dress! I always knew I was a decisive person but I'm still shocked I was able to decide so quickly!
We went to two shops - First stop was Angel Bridal in East Islip and the second was Village Bridal in Babylon. The lady who worked at Angel Bridal was super sweet but the store itself left much to be desired. I absolutely loved Village Bridal!
The first few dresses I tried on were AWFUL. I actually almost started crying because I was worried nothing was going to look good! My mom and I decided to bump up the price point (only by a few hundred) and the dresses begun to look so much better, thanfully!
I always thought I would end up in a A-line gown since I'm a hippy but the mermaid and trumpet styles actually looked better! The A-lines didn't look so great on me since I'm tall - it was an overwhelming look with lots of fabric on the bottom.
Anyway! I ended up selecting an Enzoani Blue gown. It's strapless, all lace (no embellishment) with a trumpet/fit&flare kind of shape. The best part is that the dress ended up coming in WAY below budget since they had a trunk sale going on. Because of that, we were able to splurge on a Jim Hjelm crystal belt (it may have cost ALMOST as much as the dress....![]()
oops)
I'm so excited that I was able to find the dress so quickly! I just hope dress regret won't kick in as the date nears!
