My wedding dress!

Elizabeth, on September 8, 2019 at 9:16 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 27
I was looking on sites for ideas on what I wanted my dress to look like and had talked to my mom about going shopping soon; it was hopeful that my bridesmaids could come too, but schedules didn’t work out. So I tried on four different styles and took pictures to send to them. I had already picked out my dress at that point, but wanted to see which one they liked as well! All of them reacted and said similar things for this one! My mom cried! I felt beautiful.

The store we went to was actually going out of business. The dress price ranges from $540-645, normally and had been marked down to $399, then $199 for the summer clearance. Since the store was closing, there was 60% off of the $199! My dress ended up being $80 and change (taxes included). My budget for my dress to spend was $700! I ended up buying a head piece too and it cost as much as the dress on sale. So I walked out of there spending $162.20. All I need now is a veil and my mom said she would buy that for me!!

Although it was short notice and last minute, it was totally worth it! I’m super excited and am glad to have checked another thing off my list!

    Love it!! Check out amazon and etsy for veils. I got my veil for $30 off amazon and it looks just like the $300 one I wanted in the bridal store.

    Oh my goodness and WOW! Your dress is spectacular! I wish I could find a going it of business dress shop. I’ve checked out David’s bridal and there’s only one or two there I even like, but the dress shops in my are charge a small fortune!

    I had a mindset of wanting strapless, a-line and not super poofy. So this was a little different than what I envisioned! Go with an open mind!

    i was also afraid that I was not going to be able to find anything under budget!! You will, though!! We drove an hour to this shop and it was totally worth it! Don’t be afraid to look in surrounding areas! ☺️

    I know you'll find it soon!! Best of luck!

    The top of your dress is so beautiful! Might you try with a smaller tiara (or none) and putting the wear a little lower? It might show off your dress better.

    I did end up going with a smaller tiara which will be readjusted!

    Thank you!! It was definitely eighth place at the right time! Best of luck finding yours! My best advice would be to have an open mind and try on different styles! You have a vision, but can end being the opposite!!
