think I have found 'the' dress (with pics)

*hoppit*, 27 July, 2009 at 12:12 Posted on Planning 0 11

Went wedding dress shopping for the first time this weekend, went in 3 shops, saw loads of lovely dresses, but there was 1 that was a clear winner as not only did it look nice but it made my mum cry! i really like it and was dreaming about it last night and it makes me very excited when I think about it. Should I stop looking for dresses? I am a little bit worried as it was the first time we had gone looking, and we only went to 3 shops, or would I be tempting fate and I should go for this dress??

Hopefully here are some pics of it, unfortunately its on the model as they wouldnt let me take an snaps until its ordered.its a lot sparklier in real life as the bodice has loads of crystals and beading on. And there I was saying I want a dress thats not too fussy and not too much bling!! think I have gone for the total opposite to my original idea of what my wedding dress would look like!

    Wow the dress is gorgeous!!

    I found my dress early on and have now stopped looking. I kept thinking that i would see something that i would prefer, but after trying my dress on again I knew it was the one! xxx

    Ooohh its lovely. I think you should stick with it if its the one you really love! What make is it?

    I am going shopping for the first time tomorrow with my mum and am going with the rule that if she cries it must be a good one..although I think my mum will cry at everything!! Glad you have found one you love!

    You could always try on a couple more just to be sure. My dress is the first one I found. I saw it online and loved it, went to try it on adn loved it even more. Went to another shop where I tried on a different dress to be sure. They made me put that on first, and although I stood there smiling, I then put the first dress on again and cried, and got butterflies in my tummy and felt quite emotional!!! I knew at that point it was the one. I have looked at 100s of other dreses online and in mags since, but still dont get the same feeling I do when I look at mine!!

    It's lovely by the way ?

    Thank you, its by mark lesley style 3021. I have just rung a wedding dress shop that is local to me(went shopping in kent where my family lives) and they have the style in their st albans shop so can get it across to their stevenage shop for me to try on again. I will take my future mother in law and if I feel as excited when I put it on again i will def get it!! the shop in stevenage also has some different makes which the shops I went in saturday didnt so maybe I will try on a few different makes as well. I loved dress shopping, I am going to recommend it to anyone, even those friends not getting married. When they lace you in the dresses they give you a great figure and everyone is so complimentary and friendly! (except the lady in bertex who seemed to know that we couldnt afford any of the dresses there!)

    I would stop looking and go for this one, it's absolutely gorgeous. I think you will prob try on a few more but always go back to this one. My sis did exactly the same and so did I with my bridesmaids dress for her wedding.

    I would like something on the plain side but think I will end up getting something similar to yours, once I start trying them on.

    Decision made, I am going to go for it! Just rung the stevenage shop and they have sold the dress and they arent getting anymore back in so can only try it on again if I go back to kent. and it was £200 cheaper in the stevenage shop! might ring the one in kent and see if they can do anything on the price. its a big difference!

    It's stunning! Buy it and then stop looking. I ordered mine 14 months before my wedding date next year from the first shop i went to and it was only the 5th dress I'd tried- it made me cry, CBM cry and shoplady cry.....nuff said!

    Vicky, it is stunning!!

    I bought the first dress I put on without trying any other on, i think you're pretty safe to buy it - you're dreaming of it, that says a lot! I think you already know what you want to do... ?

    This one's good. I love the details of it. And it really emphasizes your features. Of course, you should feel special in your wedding. Well, I say this speaks everything.

    Thanks,

    I have made an appoinmtnet with the original shop and am going to try it on one more time on thurs and then buy it! hopefully they will let me take some pics. They have given me £100 if I pay for it in full, but cant match the other price, but I think that shop had reduced the sample as they arent getting that style in anymore. If I can take some snaps I will post them on thursday.
