I have the most first-world, pointless issue to turn you all of you with.
I spoke to a designer who can make me an amazing dress, is the nicest woman alive, and is based in London (fairly far away but do-able). She was a little outside my range but I can stretch to it. The one downside is that it would be fairly plain, but highly structured dress. Never been much one for lace and diamonte and all that but since trying on wedding dresses they have grown on me, and when else do you get an excuse to wear all the sparkles?
BUT, I just had to email another designer :/ It is one I have always admired but assumed was completely unattainable and unlikely to make a wedding dress, let alone for an attainable price. They were very lovely and asked me to send them some pictures of the kind of dress I was thinking about. I sent them a range of the most magical dresses and they got back to me super-quick and quoting me less than the London-based designer for nearly all of them! However, they are based in Germany so I would have to hope it was perfect when it arrived rather than being able to try it on beforehand.
To conclude - slightly more expensive, fairly set dress (although design specifications are flexible but probably no lace and beading etc.), really lovely lady, within the country OR slightly less expensive, whatever I can imagine (but I might then panic that I hadn't chosen quite the right thing or was unable to design it quite well enough), also lovely but only communicate through email, but based abroad.
I know what the answer should be, and I know that whichever I chose will be amazing and I should calm the f**k down, but I could really do with advice!
ps. I can add flashes of the first designer's dress and the inspiration sent to the second designer if required.
