Hey girls: It was so much fun to go dress shopping!!!

But it was exhausting! Anyway, I started off at Macy's and fell in love with a Marisa and Diamond Bride gown. I tried on about 10 dresses and really only loved these 2. But when were about to leave, FH's mom and my grandma suggested that I try on a Eva Forsythe gown. I originally told them no, because it just had to much beading. But I gave in and tried it on anyway. Of course I fell in love with that one too

But when I looked at the price tag, I almost fainted. $4,500. Mind you, I originally only wanted to spend $1,000 on a dress. Well that budget has gone out the window

All the dresses that I fell in love with today were $2,000 and up.

The Eva F. dress has a lot of beading, but it's sooo not tacky. It's so elegant and beautiful, but I'm really hesitant to spend so much $$ on a dress. My mom, grandma and FMIL fell in love with the Eva dress also and are convinced that this is the dress for me and that I should get it.
After Macy's we went out to lunch and then we went to Charisol in Flushing. I tried on a few dresses and found another one that I love. It's an Eve of Milady dress.
I just got home and called RK bridal to get quotes. I gave them all the names and numbers of the dresses and they were all so much cheaper than the price I got at Macy's and Charisol

They did not have the Eva F dress though

Anyway, here are the pics of the dresses that I love. I cannot find a pic of the Eve of Milady dress though:
1. Marisa (Macy's price:$2,875/RK price:$1,100

)
2. Diamond Bride (Macy's price: $2,735/RK price:$1550)
3. Eva Haynal Forsythe ($4,500 at Macy's and Macy's gives you 15% off)
Edited to add: That the lady at Macy's showed me an $1000 veil which was beautiful and a tiara for $600
