So last night, I went to Bryan's Bride with my mom (and dad - but he wanted to stay outside haha).
Audrey was my consultant and she was really nice. I showed her a few of my picture inspirations and immediately suggested the "modified a-line" and "ballgown" based on my pictures. Without any pressure or sales pitch, she let my mom and I wander around and pick the dresses we liked the best. Out of about 10 dresses, I liked these the best:
Leave a comment and let me know which one is your fave!
In the end, my experience was great at Bryan's Bride. Audrey was patient with tying up all those corset back's (I told her she should have a competition with her coworkers to see who's the fastest corset-tier). And I was surprised that they even gave me the designer's name and style # for me to look up.
A few of us are going on a last-minute "road trip" to David's Bridal on Sunday to see if I can take advantage of their $99 gown sale (ends Aug.2!).
Wish us luck!
Love the 2nd dress! I tried on a similar one at Bryan's (Alfred Angelo though I think... it was in the window) and personally really liked the shape for myself - but don't think I'm going to go with a lacy dress. Btw, if you go to Isabelle's in N. Van, I recommend you try on Paloma Blanca -- based on some of the photos you've picked, I think you might like some of their styles.
ReplyDeleteI love the 2nd dress! I especially love the trumpet skirt - I tried a similar style on but it looked horrible on me. I'm very short and curvy unfortunately...
ReplyDeleteI also highly recommend Isabelle's Bridal in North Van - by far the best wedding dress shopping experience out there IMO! I ended up finding my dress there and am sooo happy with my choice. They carry amazing dresses and their customer service is superb.
