Finding the perfect dress. It is what every girl dreams about. I know I did.
I had to find my perfect dress twice though – well sorta. The first bridal boutique I went to I was not
ready to buy a dress. I made that very clear
to everyone involved (and by very clear, I mean the lady had to ask me to stop
repeating myself, she got the picture).
But she didn't get the
picture. Like I mentioned in a previous
post, I am a huge people-pleaser. So as
the persuasive and might I add, pushy, saleswoman kept talking, and my mom and
my sister kept nodding, oohing and ahhhing, I ended up saying “OK I guess this
is the dress.” That was my first mistake.
You never guess it’s the right dress.
You know. So I went home claiming to be excited about
my wedding dress. A few days went buy
and I had talked myself into really liking the dress. But a mom always knows. It just wasn’t me. She knew it, so did I and apparently so did
the saleswoman because when my mom called the boutique the lady was more than
happy to refund our money and cancel my order.
So that was my dress hoopla. The second
go round was much better and consisted of my mom and I sipping champagne,
laughing a lot and finding the dress. I will say despite the wedding dress debacle,
the bridesmaid dress search was much more stressful – especially for a people pleaser.
How do I find a dress that all my friends will like, feel comfortable in
and possibly wear again? (OK OK I know
that no one ever wears a bridesmaid dress again, but it sounds good). Luckily I believe I found the perfect
dress. It helped that all of my
bridesmaids are stunning in a garbage bag.
So here are the details about what we wore…
Bride's Dress: Pronovias
Bridesmaids' Dresses: Vera Wang
Groom & Groomsmen Tuxes:
