Unexpected Dress!

Robin, on July 12, 2019 at 2:10 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

I went dress shopping having the exact dress in my mind. No lace. No sheer. No beading. I wanted this dress BARE! So my mother and I went to a few shops and at our last stop, we rummaged through almost every dress they had. Every dress except one. I picked it up and looked at it. Lace. Sheer. Beading. I guffawed and decided "What the hell?!" And tried it on. It fit perfect. It felt perfect. It looked perfect. It was -The One-. I couldn't believe it! I FOUND MY PERFECT DRESS AND IT'S THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WANTED! HOORAY!

    Happened to me as well! Went in thinking I wanted a long sleeve ballgown and walked away with a strapless mermaid!

    That dress is stunning on you, congrats!

    I love it!! The same thing happened to me, I wanted tons of lace and bling and all that stuff and walked out with a satin dress with no lace or beading! It is so funny how once we try them on our minds can change completely. It looks gorgeous on you!

    Its beautiful and thats pretty common!

    I went in with a very specific image. I tried on lots of dresses that fell in that range and honestly I hated them all. I checked another location and she suggested a style I was against but I was like whatever maybe if I put it on and show her I'm not interested she will not bring any more options like it... WELP.... I fell in love and bought it that day.

    Heres the dress I ended up falling in love with that I purchased the day I tried it on. It was an A line and very different than my original thoughts!

    I'm actually not going to be doing too many accessories. I have my veil, I made my bouquet, and I plan on wearing a very special necklace that has pendants from my mother and my grandmother.

    We are having a Galaxy / universe theme wedding so my flowers are purple, midnight blue, and light blue. I'll be sure to post a pic of my bouquet. It's gorgeous and has a wonderful backstory to it.
