Hi Ladies,
I'm sorry I just had to share...
When me and my H2B first sat down to plan our wedding after working everything out we realized we had a really small budget (really really small) So that meant not a lot of pennies for my wedding dress ☹️
So I went dress shopping and wow... I was like a kid in a candy shop or a magpie... attracted to everything sparkly!!! and realized just how low my dress budget was ☹️
The dress I fell in love with was GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!! Just perfect! and a whopping £900 but................
...I ended up settling on a prom dress that looked weddingy but it was not "the one" I didn't get to try it on as my size was not in so they ordered it size to follow. It fitted my budget so it would have to do!
I went into the shop yesterday to look a bridesmaids dresses and got speaking to the fab shop assistant who helped me the first time around. I was telling her about my worries fitting/ not tried it on/ not being "the one" etc and at the last minute she said come on lets try some styles on and see what we can do................................
....................Now the few styles that were in my size were £700+ which is way out of my price range but very beautiful! I was feeling a little deflated they were lovely, out of my price range and just not doing it for me.(I was beginning to give up hope at this point)
And there it was in all it's glory.......... My Dream Dress!!! The assistant said come on lets try it on I was so excited but scared at the same time as I knew I could not afford it so was kind of wishing it looked awful lol ... But it didn't it was beautiful I walked out on to the step thingy in the full length mirror and it was just sparkling away looking fabber than ever. The assistant then added a veil and tiara to "finish the effect" and that was it.................... Floodgates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt like a million dollars!!! ?
Then the bombshell................. It was in the sale... £900 down to £395!!!!! OMG I was on cloud nine!!! ?
My fab assistant transfered the money from my compromised dress to my Dream dress and it works out I will only pay £95 extra!!! I am over the moon!!!
But... there had to be a but didn't there ? My compromised dress was ivory and my dream dress is dark ivory/champagne and all my accessories I have bought shoes, veil tiara are ivory and won't go with my new dress!
The dress assistant said to "age" them with cold tea as it would give them the antique look .... should I do this or just sell them and start again???
I will try and add a picture or link thingy if I can figure it out I didn't take any pictures I totally forgot I was to busy blubbering!
Anyway thank you for reading to my ramble, any advice is very welcome!
