On your mark, get set, GO!!!!! The time of the planning for me to begin my search for my dress has begun. I'm not going to lie, I am like a deer in headlights right now. Eek! When I went to the bridal show back in September I had one vendor read off several bridal gown designers to me, and let's just say I had no clue to who she was talking about. I had to explain to her that I knew nothing about dresses, which was the truth.
So after feeling slightly overwhelmed in September at the bridal showcase, I put off looking for my dress until I was ready. I wanted to do some research first on the different styles. So I immediatly went to Google, which then pointed me towards The Knot and Wedding Wire. I found that both of these sites gave me a lot of information on the different styles. Though, I still did not feel quite confident to go bridal shops just yet and begin trying on the different stories. So I put it off a little longer. (I know, I know you are probably like what are you waiting for?)
Well to be honest, I am not really waiting on anything exactly. I just have to go when I am ready. As I know once I begin my search, I will not be able to stop until I find THE dress. After about a few weeks of reading articles and looking at dreses in maginzes and online. I was finally ready. Woo-hoo!
I decided to go dress shopping with my mom, as I was not ready for all of the ladies of my bridal party to join me just yet. I felt going with my mom would be a great bonding experience. My mom was really excited to go with me, as I was for her to join me.
Now that I decided that I was ready, what next? Well I continued my search through Wedding Wire and located some local bridal shops that had good reviews. I also wrote down a list of stores that were recommended to me by friends. I was able to set up an appointment for this upcomming Saturday. I only set up one appointment, was it was my first time trying on wedding dresses and I did not want to be overwhelemd.
Let's just say, I am really excited and cannot wait to try on my first set of dresses. :-)
Of course you already know, I will update you on my experience in my next post. Stay tuned!
xoxo,
