Is it Me or Do All Wedding Dresses Look Alike.

That is so special Samantha, awe!!

Mine has pockets, that was a huge selling point lol

Yes haha

eventually a lot of them do have the same styles or patterns, etc there are just minute differences.

I spent alot of time browsing site after site of wedding dresses. I liked this feature of one dress and that feature of another, and on and on. When I finally made an appointment at one of the local dress shops, I think I tried on about 5 or 6 dresses in all. Everyone in the room really liked the first one I tried on and it became the one we compared all of the others to. But I wasn't sure I was really "in love" with the dress. I had in my mind that I was open to several styles but I was adamant that I did not want a sleeveless dress. The girl who was working with me said, I'll be right back I have one I want to try. My MOH was in the room with me when she put it on me (the rest of my crew was in the room next door) despite it being sleeveless - I instantly teared up and got emotional when I saw myself in that dress. It was like she magically took all of the individual elements I had liked in the dresses I had seen online and combined them into one dress! (appliques, horsehair hem, sparkles - it has it all) My MOH and I looked at each other (she was also teared up for the second time) and at the same time said - This is the one!

I went back online when I got home to see if I could find the dress and I did, but ironically it was never one of the ones I had liked online because the photos did not do it justice. I would encourage you to go to a shop, and keep an open mind about styles, but tell them what has drawn you to other dresses. Trust me when I tell you, you will know when you have it on. I've had a few friends who have gone to multiple shops before finding their dress. You'll find the right one for you and it will be uniquely perfect!

That's is perfect and your daughter making it will make it the PERFECT dress. I think I need something sentimental but I'm finding more dresses that I'm starting to adore . Please remember to post pics.

AIMEE - I am making an appointment!!! You and all the others are so right - I will need to try it.

Thanks for the encouragement!!
