I found my dress!!!!

I have found the dress of my dreams, and it's so within budget I thought it was too good to be true. I had to ask about a million times if the price I was quoted was for the brand new dress I ordered or the one off the rack I tried on! The consultant was absolutely amazing, she listened to everything I said about each dress I tried, and just when I was about to call it a day, she brought this one last dress and said "just try this one, you're already here." I put it on and spent almost 40 minutes walking around in it!!! I didn't want to take it off! Every time the consultant would walk by taking another dress to another bride, she would say "still in it I see..." Between my FMIL and FSIL tearing up at the sight of the dress, I could barely hold back my own tears of joy. Even though our wedding isn't until 2016, I ordered my dress because the designer discontinues every 6 months, and this dress has already been out for a little over a year. You just know when you've found YOUR dress, and I know I won't be looking any further! The day was even more perfect when we nailed down a bridesmaid dress that is absolutely perfect on each of my girls, and they chose it themselves! I'm on cloud 9!!!
I posted pics below, the veil won't be this long, we custom ordered a shorter length because I'm short to begin with and the ceremony is outside so we thought it would tie the look together without being "churchy."

  • congrats!

    that style is similar to what I'm looking for, what designer/style is it?

    Congratulations!!! It really looks great and very flattering on you!

    Since your wedding isn't until 2016, just make sure you STOP looking.

    I would definitely not order the BM dresses now. It's usually not a good idea to even ask people to be in the wedding until about 10 months out, let alone order dresses. Styles, tastes and bodies change, so I would definitely hold off on ordering BM dresses for another year at the very least. If your wedding is summer/fall 2016, I'd wait until January/April (respectively) at the earliest.

  • Thank you!! I feel amazing in it!!

    Oh most definitely! No one has ordered the BM dresses, and so far I only have 2 ladies. One is my FSIL so I know she isn't going anywhere (she's like my own sister!) and a very close friend of ours whom is one of those "obvious" choices that sticks with her friends through thick and thin. The bridal shop has the style and color written down so when the date gets closer, all they need is measurements :)
