I'm curious as to what other peoples' wedding dress shopping experience was like?
For one, my experience was nothing like what you see on Say Yes to the Dress. I didn't have *that moment*.
My mother was in town for my brother's birthday and staying at my place. The next morning we were meeting my sister for lunch, so we decided to drop into the bridal salon along the way. I had a picture of a dress that caught my eye while browsing that particular bridal salon's website.
Unfortunately when we got there, the consultant told us they sold the dress off the floor. Since it was only 11 days after I had actually been engaged, we thought it was alright. But we stayed to look around at other dresses. Going in, I realized that we were probably the consultant`s worst nightmare as they like to make a sale, and we were upfront in telling her we were just looking. So it was just me and my mom looking at dresses. I pulled a few dresses from the sale rack in my size that caught my eye, but once they were on, it was a no go. While I was trying on a pink ruffly dress, my mom came by the dressing room and showed me a dress she found.
I decided to try it on.
I was a little torn between the pink one and the one my mom pulled. But then my thoughts kept going back to the one my mom pulled for me and I decided it was the one I wanted.
So we bought it off the floor that day.
Since that day I've had no regrets either. I'm excited to wear my dress, so I know it's definitely the one.
What was your experience like? Who did you bring for your entourage?
