I Finally Found It!

After tons of searching I have finally found my dress.  I went Wed night to try it on, my mom and sister Sara joined me.  I tried on the dress I purchased 2 weeks ago first.  It was still really pretty...but that was about it.  It really doesn't go with my personality.  The dress they ordered for me was the second dress I tried on, I wanted to save what I thought was the best for last.  When I saw it in person for the first time it was everything I had been looking for, but hadn't found.  I was so nervous that this was going to be one of those dresses that I loved but looked horrible on me.  Once I had it on it fit perfect!  I loved it so much, it was so pretty...and yes it made me cry.  I now have my dress....I put it away so Todd cant find it! I cant wait to finally have it on for the wedding! Yippee!

The Dress...

I have been shopping for my dress, trying to find the one I love....

I have found several dresses I like, and could possibly love but have made that mistake of shopping to much.  All the dresses I have liked have been by Maggie Sottero.  I went to LKN Bridal this past weekend, they carry Maggie here.  They didn't have the two dresses I liked...but I did find another one by her that was really pretty and made me feel like Princess Kate.  My mother and grandmother went with me, when I had this dress on my grandmother teared up.

I was trying to make my mind up on if I should buy this dress...I am tired of looking and just made a split decision and bought it...only to go back 2 hours later and tell her not to order.  There is still one dress out there by Maggie that I love so much.  I haven't been able to find in anywhere.  I did see another Bride in the dress at a different shop but she had ordered it for her wedding.  It was just as pretty in person as in the ads.

After voicing that I wasn't sure about the dress I bought this weekend, LKN Bridal sprang into action.  They called me this past Monday to let me know that the owner agreed to order the dress I have been seeking...and they ordered in my size!  So if I love it, its mine!  If not, they will keep it as a sample dress for others to try on.  I am so happy and can't wait for it to come in next week.  I have made my mind up and decided that if the dress that comes in doesn't work I am going to go with my original purchase I made last weekend.

Making Decisions...

Over the week Todd and I sent in the deposits for our flowers and DJ.  I am excited to have these selected and booked!  Todd has been great about helping me make decisions and listening to my ideas.  Over the week I went to try on the dress I want just to make sure its the one.  I took my mom, grandmother and sisters with me.  Once we arrived I learned that the sample dress had been sold off the rack to another bride (it takes about 6.5 months to get this dress in from order date) who didn't have enough time to order for her wedding.  Although I was bummed I did not turn into a Bridezilla!  I think there is one other place that may have this dress..I will just have to make a few calls and see if they have it.

I also had my sisters try on a few dresses, and then I went back with Season..she tried on a few also.  I am having a hard time with colors and styles.  I am frazzled, but will hopefully figure it out soon enough!  I am going to go bridesmaid dress shopping again..but this time take a few flowers that are in my wedding colors to make it easier!
