Hi everyone,
I've just had a whirlwind week trying on wedding dresses and now I'm about to commit and buy my overall favourite. I'm sure it's perfect, but the more I looked the more beautiful dresses I saw. In brief this is what happened:
Went to first shop and tried on the first two dresses to complete silence from my mum! She didn't want to say anything negative so she said nothing at all - I think the assistant was taken aback. This is one of the dresses I tried on which is over the top but fantastic:

I have to admit it looked good, but probably not totally flattering on me. Then dress number 3 was my perfect dress which I hadn't chosen but the assistant picked out. Even though it is simple, it was so flattering on me (I tried it on in ivory). My mum thought it was amazing also:

Then I tried on about 15 other dresses and styles, but nothing compared to that one above. I wanted to buy it, but to be on the safe side I went looking in more shops on Sunday with my friend, where I found this dress by Maggie Sottero:

It is a fantastic dress without a doubt, but I think I prefer the one above. I have just phoned the shop and paid £100 as a deposit on it, and I am going back on Saturday to try it on again.
I hope I'm not being too rash, because nobody has seen me in both the dresses, and I can't find a shop which stocks them both. I suppose I just have to go with my instinct. I had to pay £100 today, as if I ordered it by today I got £150 to spend in store on accessories. I hope I've done the right thing!!!
