Dear Bridal Party,
So I'll be going with my mom on Wednesday to check out Bryan's Bridal for my 1st wedding dress shop visit. I really value all of your opinions (obviously one of the reasons why I chose you to be part of this celebration!) but I thought I'd bring my mom along for the 1st one just so we can spend some time together and she can give me her honest opinions. No worries, there will be more chances to check out more bridal shops! I just want this initial one to be a "what styles look good on me" visit. Seeing as there's 9 of you in my entourage, we might have to split the shops up so we can accommodate everyone! I heard the "etiquette" for bridal shops is like 4 people max!
So I’ve compiled a few of my favorite wedding dresses in this post - which I'll probably bring around with me to the shops to give the consultant and idea of what i like (password-protected):
I’d love to hear which styles you guys like the best!
I have a dress in mind which I’m 98% sure is the winner, however I still want to keep my options open and try on other dresses; that’s the whole fun experience about planning a wedding isn’t it? Anyways, my “98% sure” dress is quite the long shot, as it’s not made anymore, and the ones that are still found in bridal galleries retail for $9,000+ (yipes – my 98% sure dress takes up 90% of the $10k wedding!).
My girlfriend / bridesmaid Marianne who lives in NYC has made my day by offering to make my favorite wedding dress ! She’s a great fashion designer, recently graduated from FIT in New York and her design style is similar to this dress style – so why wouldn’t I trust her? If I can't find a dress to say yes to, then I'm glad to know that option is open for me.
let me know which dresses you like best in the poll below, and if you have any advice on dress shopping, please leave a comment or two!
