I Said Yes To The Dress!

Chelsea, on June 10, 2019 at 00:12 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 9
I did it! I said yes to the dress! After over 13 months of being engaged, it was well worth the wait! Everyone told me I would just KNOW when I found “the one”, and I thought they were crazy, but turns out they were right! I cried, and so did all 4 Bridesmaids I had with me and my mom!


I loved my dress shopping experience! Tell me your favourite parts of dress shopping, or what you wish could have been better! Was it what you expected, or were you surprised?

    I also didn’t really plan on buying the dress this weekend! I figured I would use these appointments to find out what I liked, but here we are, and I bought the dress hahahha

    Ill send you a picture via message! I recently set my fiancé up with his own weddingwire account, so I can’t be too careful hahahah

    it’s so funny you say “it was only pretty” because that’s exactly how i felt about the ones that didn’t make the cut! all the gowns I tried on were beautiful, but it was only my gown that made me feel bridal

    It’s incredible how much seamstresses are able to customize wedding gowns to be exactly right!

    I totally agree! i was shocked by how i couldn’t find a single thing wrong with the way i looked in the dress! I tend to me quite picky while shopping that everything needs to be flattering from all angles, and the dress was just above and beyond amazing!

    I ended up getting the exact style I pictured myself in! I just recently set my fiancé up with his own wedding wire account so I don’t want to give too much away hahah

    YAY! Congrats! That is an amazing part of wedding planning!

    I made an appointment at a salon while my sister was home so she could be part of the experience, and honestly I did not expect to find my dress. I never wanted a tight fitting dress, and that is what I ended up getting.

    Once I put the dress on I knew it was amazing, and then the woman working with us had me walk down a hallway towards a mirror to picture myself walking down the isle, and I lost it. It was a great experience!

    Yay! Do you have any pictures that you are willing to share?


    I found my dress back in October of last year with my; Mom, Dad, Sister(MOH), Baba, and FMIL. First store and although my Mom and sister liked a different dress - it was only pretty. I feel like a BRIDE in my dress which was what I loved most about that experience. I could picture myself walking down the aisle to my FH.

    Ahh ! Thats very exciting Smiley smile It wasn't so much what I expected experience wise. I went to soo many places and just ended up settling because was sick of trying. I do like my dress but just have few concerns- the seamstress is able to adjust them though!

    That’s awesome!! What kind of dress did you end up buying?

    I went to 3 boutiques before finally settling on my dress. It actually ended up being the 2nd dress I tried on at the 1st boutique but I bought it at the 3rd because it was much cheaper.

    i thought dress shopping would be awkward, my mom and I have differences of opinions on basically everything so I thought it would be a nightmare finding something we all liked.

    the best part for me was how much of a bride I felt in my dress, I wasn’t expecting to feel so good!
