Friend (and now bridesmaid) S came out for the weekend to help me find a wedding dress. Anyone who knows me will know that I'm not a "traditional" or "typical" bride. I haven't been thinking about this day since I was 11. I never played dress-up wedding. So I certainly had no idea what kind of dress I was looking for.
Strapless? Straps? A-line? Trumpet? Sheath? Princess ball gown? Definitely not princess. Ivory? White? Train? Veil? Sweetheart? V-neck? Empire? Silk? Satin? Charmeuse? Chiffon? Lace? UGH, it'll make your head spin!
Over the course of the weekend we hit 4 bridal shops ranging from not-for-profit Bridal Garden to the high end Kleinfeld, made famous by the TLC show, Say Yes to the Dress. Needless to say, they were all very different experiences and S helped me every step of the way. I honestly could not have done it without her.
I tried on so many different styles at a wide range of price points. And in the end, I had some really good options to choose from all within budget (score!). After a week of deliberation, I made my decision and submitted my dress order! I should be getting it at the end of October. Fingers crossed!
