My Pronovias gown hunting experience... Pics in my album!
Original post by twoifbysea
So yesterday was Day 1 of my search for a wedding gown. I'd previously mentioned that I was heading to Pronovias to start the process. Well, though my mom and I had a great time, I didn't really fall in love with any particular dress. I am rather busty (36C-D) and most gowns were cut very low on top. The only gown I liked was almost $4,000 -- and for that price tag, I better freaking LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress. That aside, we had a great time and I got a real feel for what I now want. Some pictures are in the Pronovias photo album.
After Pronovias, we checked out RK Bridal on 39th which was a MADHOUSE! I had no idea what to expect, but I think they have every wedding gown ever made! I didn't try anything on (there was a waitlist) but the saleswomen seemed very helpful. It was a lively, spirited store.
Lastly, we visited the Demetrios salon in Macy's Herald Square. There were a few gowns I LIKED, but again, didn't get that 'oh my God this is the one' feeling. It wasn't a complete waste -- I actually bumped into a girl I went to high school with -- she was trying on wedding gowns right next to me!
After an exhausting day in the city, I stopped by Adrienne's in Islip today. Well, I am in LOVE with three gowns they have there! Heading back with mom to try them on again. I think I found my bridesmaid dresses too! The girls will get 15% off if I order my gown there.
But the BEST thing about this weekend is we booked our band this morning! We put a deposit down for After Hours Entertainment -- Phil is awesome! We are super super excited. I am so relieved that everything is all coming together.
