UPDATE!!! I said Yes to the DRESS!! Thank you all for your advice!

Hiii Ladies!! 

Okay so I'm oobberr excited because as my post says, I SAID YES TO THE DRESS!! wo0t wo0t! LOL..Ok so let me describe my experience.  I went to Bijou Bridal in Paramus & let me just say they are AMMAAZZINNGG..i loved them! They were so great & not pushy at all, you don't feel pressured to buy anything & they have no problem spending hours with you or letting try on the same dress as many times as you want! Really sweet & polite the whole way through & they have dresses in all price ranges so that's great as well because I personally did not have a huge budget for my dress.

Thanks to all of you awesome NJ Knotties, I knew that not everyone is the same when they find their dress.  Personally, I thought I was going to be tough to please because I'm usually my own worst critic..very self critical & picky when I'm picking clothes & well of course your wedding gown is the most important dress you'll ever pick, but I wasnt! 

I actually knew the type of gown I wanted so I did not go in there clueless so all the dresses I tried on, I realllyy liked minus 1 which I eliminated immediately..I took my little sister, mother & MOH which is my BFF...they all had the same reaction I had, which was, omg they're all soo beautiful, how do you pick?! LOL so I didn't get an immediate this is the one feeling or crying or goosebumps so0o I kept trying the dresses on & eliminating them little by little but of course I kept going back to the one I chose...Finally, it was down to 2 & when I put on MY DRESS on, at that point I knew I didn't have to try on the other one again..I just loved the way I looked in it & it felt so comfy & it was the only one that made my eyes water (twice out of the 3 times I put it on) LOL.

Thanks to DoubleAS's tip, I did the walk down the aisle thing with my mom & then I couldn't picture myself in any other dress but that one! After I picked... my lil sister, Mom & MOH said that was their favorite one as well (they weren't too opinionated during the process because they wanted me to pick the one I really wanted without their input affecting my decision).  Needless to say, I am extremely happy & giddy right now! Sealed SealedSealed

    Thank you ladiess!! Smile To be honest with you, with all the excitement I have no idea who the designer is! LOL but I have a feeling that it's their private label...they have a designer who designs only for them..I guess I'll find out when it comes in! LOL..I'll take pics then =)..it's funny because I was so excited trying gowns on & then at the end when I picked it dawned on me that I hadn't looked at the price tags! I was like OMG what if its too expensive, but thank God it was in my price range! I was like wo0off! LOL

    Aww, I'm glad my method worked!  I knew it was the dress and that "trip" just sealed the deal even more.  I even shopped @ another boutique after that but nothing could come close to comparing to my gown.  Congrats, lady <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" title="Kiss" />
