New 06 Bride to be--gown question

Original post by Sunshine06

Hey Everyone,

My name is Sheethal.
I'm getting married on 9/4/06.

Just wanted to ask you how long it took to find your wedding gowns. I just started looking last weekend. I want to be able to select one in time to get all the alterations done. I'm looking for something off-the-shoulder.

Thanks,
Sunshine06

Welcome to the boards & have fun planning. You still have a lot of time, yet its fun looking around. I'd go to at least a few places & try on lots of dresses, when you find the one, you'll know.

It was the first dress that I tried on.

Welcome to LIW!!!!!! I found 'the one' right away. But then I wanted to look around more to make sure. So after about a month I ordered it!! I was right the first time, but I'm glad I took the time to think it over, now I have no doubts!

If I find another style that looks great, I'm all for it.

Anyone try David's Bridal? I tried on a few from there already but I want to go back and try some more.

Thanks!



I ordered mine from davids bridal, here is a pic of it.

Hi Girls,

This weekend, I went to a place that was recommended to me in Jersey from another bride I know. Anyway, I think I may have found the ONE. The reason I think that is because it was the only one that ever made me cry!!!

Check it out and tell me what you think. I have a pic of me in it as well in the store. Please excuse the weird look on my face. I was talking.

I always wanted an off-the-shoulder gown and I'm a little apprehensive about the spaghetti straps b/c I'm not that crazy about my arms. Please let me know what you think.

TIA!!

I found my dress the very first time we went out looking. I wasn't even planning on buying one, just wanted to see what was out there. I tried on 3 and picked the 2nd one! I fell in love with it as soon as I put it on. Keep in mind though, I'm getting married in June and I ordered my dress in May this year b/c they said it would take 9-10 months to get in and then you still have to have fittings.

Welcome!! I found my dress at the 4th store I went to, but it probably took me about 2 months to go to all those stores. But then I didn't order it for a few months, I waited until a year beforehand. It should be in in December, can't wait!

It took me about 3-4 weeks (and about 50 dresses) to find mine, I ordered it about a month ago and it should come in April. But I'm so excited b/c I already got my swatches so I started the best part - shoe shopping! The best part after the gown, of course!
