We ordered my dress!!

On Friday afternoon, my sister and the kids came up to go dress shopping with me and my mom. We headed over to David's Bridal in Wayne to see what I could find. I had looked online and in their catalog and picked out quite a few dresses that I wanted to try on. When we got there, we had to fill out some paperwork and they asked me to pick three dresses to start with. Since I had picked about 15-20 dresses that I liked in the catalog before going it was hard to choose only three to start with. In addition, we saw a few others in the store that were not in the catalog. I finally narrowed it down and picked three different styles to start with, and figured we could go from there.

While the salesperson was getting the dresses set for me, we looked around at some flowergirl dresses and other stuff in the store. Ally and Amanda were so excited to walk around and look at the dresses.

When the salesperson was ready, I started to try on some dresses. It was actually kind of hard because they were all so beautiful. Some of them we eliminated right away because we did not like they way they looked, but there were some that we loved. There was one dress though, that I really loved!!! When I put it on, I knew it would be the one that I would love the most, it felt perfect!! It was the second or third dress I tried on, but I kept trying others on to make sure it was the right one. After trying on about 15 or so dresses, I narrowed it down to two, the one that I LOVED and one other that I really liked. We decided not to order it right then so I could go home and think about it a little bit. My sister had also taken a lot of pictures of the different dresses and I wanted to look at those as well.

Well, after thinking about it, my mom and I decided to go back on Sunday to try a few more on, and of course try the two on that I loved from the other day. Well, I found a few more that looked really nice, but I still kept coming back to the one that I LOVED!! It was the last one I tried on and I knew again that it was the one I wanted. We decided it would be the one and decided to order it!! While I had it on, we tried out some different shoes to see what would look good, we tried on some different veils, and headpieces as well.

Before leaving, we ordered my dress and veil. The veil that we picked out has two pieces to it, with a really long piece that can be worn during pictures and the ceremony and then taken off during the reception. It looked beautiful with the dress. The dress takes 4-5 months to order so it should come in sometime at the beginning of January. The veil had to be ordered as well, and that should be here sometime in October.

I would post pictures, but I really don't want Gregg to see the dress and he sometimes reads the blog, so I am not going to post any pictures.
