The Dress.... AGAIN

So, today I went to Andreas Bridal in Portland with my mom and best friend. I wasnt really sure what to expect as I had found my dress at Davids a few months ago. The girl was so sweet and cute and helped me in and out a of a ton of dresses. Now I am on the bigger side so dress shopping is kind of a challange knowing what it will really look like when its properly altered. The other thing I didnt like was I couldnt find out who the designer was, but I was able to scoure the designers websites they offer and found it. Its a gorgeous Maggie Sotter, PAYTON. It was so not what I thought I would want in a wedding gown, but the minute she laced me up in the back and fit like a glove I felt so incredible. I walked out and my bff and my mom loved it. I looked in the mirror and I was like DAMN!! HAHA I felt sexy, pretty, beautiful everything all at once in that dress. I dont ever feel this way in anything ever. It has embellishment that I never thought I would like and the train is almost a cathedral I think which is not what I wanted, but my God when I looked at myself in that dress I was like I love. I am so excited. The only stressfull thing is I have to order it in Decemeber instead of my original February, but I only have to pay half up front and then slowly pay the rest off and it was only 69 over my budget so awesome!!! Here it is...

    Awesome Autumn!  Mine was a Maggie too - I'm a huge fan!  Keep in mind, that now that you know the designer and style you can shop around for the best price!  Maggies come in quick too - I didn't order mine until May or June for September (but don't wait).Bridals by Sandy carries Maggie dresses.

    I went to Andrea's a few weeks ago after going to about 6 other shops!  They were GREAT!!!  I found THE dress in my budget (it was on sale) and I couldn't be happier!  The consultant that worked with me was in training (I think her name was Amanda but I don't know for sure) and she was so patient with me and gave awesome suggestions! Glad you found your beautiful wedding gown!  Congrats!

    I had a nearly identical situation, I went to Madeline's Daughter and loved them, but I kept saying that I needed a "simple" dress for my lakeside wedding and I didn't fall in love with any of the simple dresses they showed me. They were all gorgeous and what I had asked for, but they didn't really give me that "This is IT!" feeling. I stopped in at Andrea's on a whim one day and they let me pick any dress off the racks that I liked and of course I wound up being drawn to the ones with tons of beading and sparkles and huge trains. I ordered my Maggie (Mirabella) from them in late March or early April for my September wedding. They made me put a rush order on it and it only came in 2 weeks before the wedding. I *love* Peyton though. It looks stunning!!

    That dress is gorgeous!I'm so glad you had your moment of finding "the one" and that you didn't stop looking after thinking you had found one that was good enough earlier!  Every bride deserves to feel the way you described; congratulations on finding her.  :)
