i found my dress!

Christelle, on June 22, 2019 at 2:25 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
So we went dress shopping today, and I actually had that “this is the one” moment!
I didn’t mean to and honestly feel a little guilty. I was going just to check out the local boutique before my mom came from out of state to go with me in August.
I have went on a couple of dress try days since we got engaged two years ago, and I never had any real emotion tied to a dress before. I could appreciate that they were beautiful and communicate what I liked or didn’t like, but I never thought I’d be the type to Need a particular dress. This dress just was everything to me.
Even though my mom told me she loved it and wasn’t hurt and will be excited to see me in it later for alterations, I still feel a little bad. She didn’t get to ever see me in my prom dress and I know my wedding means a lot to her.

So so let me know what you guys think! Maybe a little support will cheer me up!

    It's beautiful! Don't feel bad. I had a similar situation where I went browsing and ended up finding and buying "the one" without my bridal party around. They were happy for me.

    I picked my dress without my mom and when she got into town I went to the stored and tried on the sample again so she could see it. Then I had them jack me up with the veil and the belt

    Well I purchased it from a sample store. If it had been a regular boutique I probably would have waited, but I knew that with it being the only dress they had that it wouldn’t still be at the store when my mom could visit.

    In your case, I’d contact the store closer to August, explain your situation and ask if you can bring the dress and try it on there when your mother comes. Being in the bridal shop and seeing you in the dress will still create an emotional feeling. But don’t show her the dress until you walk out of the dressing room.

    It looks absolutely stunning on you! A true vision in white! I'm so glad that you found "the one", it must've been a magical moment for you.
