~QOTD 12/16~

Sorry a little late today girls... just been one of those days. lol.

Anyways, with the Dress Thread I started the other day, there are just soo many different style dresses....which are all soo beautiful!

How did you know your gown was 'the one'? Did you see it online first, or through a catolog, and then tired it on to be even better? Or, did you just happen to try it on, and just never wanted to take it off? I love hearing how everyone fell in love with their gowns.

For me, I always knew basically what I had wanted... and I was searching high and low to find it. Some of the other styles I totally fell in love with, but once I was able to try it on, I was in love all over again. I stare at my dress whenever FH isn't around. I cannot wait till I get to wear it!!

I had no idea what dress I wanted when I went shopping. I didn't even really plan on buying a gown the first time my mom and I went shopping, but as soon as I put my dress on, I KNEW it was the one. I didn't want to take it off. I think I was in the gown for like an hour before I finally agreed to take it off!

Re: ~QOTD 12/16~

I went to the store just to play around with my mom.. We didnt go to actual buy a gown. I tried a bunch on and finally the lady brought mine over to me and asked me to try it on. I took a look at it and was like.. eww Im not going to like that... welllllll as soon as it went over my head I just knew. I didnt want to take it off and we put a deposit down that day!

Re: ~QOTD 12/16~

I was actually at a sample sale at POB and was about to walk out because I didn't see anything I liked. Well I took one last look through the racks and my dress was sort of hidden behind all the poofier dresses. As soon as I saw it, I loved it. It's a very simple, yet whimsical Melissa Sweet. I put it on and if fit almost perfectly. I just knew it was the one and I have never once doubted my dress since I bought it :)

Re: ~QOTD 12/16~

I have been looking at dresses for a while and I pretty much knew what I wanted. The dress I envisioned myself in is like the one in my avatar. Nice and big and princess like. But the twist is I didn't want white or ivory, I wanted an ice blue gown. That was the color I always dreamed of wearing on my wedding day. Anyway, I printed out some pics of dresses and I went to bridal store. When I was describing the type of dress I was looking for to the consultant, she noticed the pics in my hand and said 'oh you have pictures. Well let's see what we have here in the store and you can try them all on'. I said fine. I noticed that she grabbed a dress off the rack that I did not recognize and she made a comment as to how that was one of her favorite dresses. I told her that the pic was printed in error and that was not one of my choices. She was VERY persistent that try it on anyway so I did. When I came out of the dressing room, my mother instantly burst in to tears (my mother DOES NOT CRY ) and said that was it. When I saw myself in that dress I felt the same way. The complete opposite of what I would have ever envisioned myself in. I did try on other dresses to be fair to myself but the first was THE ONE!!! Pic of my dress is in my album.

Re: ~QOTD 12/16~

My mom DRAGGED me to Pronovias. I loved all the dresses I tried on but it was a different dress I dragged my dad back to see. But I had the woman bring in my dress and the one I thought I wanted. I kept trying on both dresses and my parents, knowing I brought them in to see the other dress and both were beautiful. But it was the second time I tried on my original choice that I knew the other dress was the one. I just wanted to take off the dress and put the other one back on.

Re: ~QOTD 12/16~

I knew I wanted a lace gown but then as I kept looking, I also wanted some bling. So when I saw my dress on the mannequin on the store, I knew it was it! I kept coming back to it and I really wanted to try it on. Once it was on, it was definitely the one!

Re: ~QOTD 12/16~

I imagined my dress and am having it made. I went to a million stores and everything I tried on was okay but I never got that WOW feeling. I went in to try my dress on and it was soooooo exciting, I love it and like a lot of girls have said I did not want to take it off.

Re: ~QOTD 12/16~

Everytime I looked through a magazine I stopped at my dress. When I went to try on dresses, i found it but i tried it on last. I tried on a few dresses and liked them but when I put my dress on i really didn't want to take it off and i pictured walking down the aisle to FH wearing none other but this dress. It was definitely meant to be!
