i Found my Dress!!!!!!

Sarah, on September 29, 2019 at 10:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 33
I had appointments at two salons and had a very strict budget. At the first salon I went to, I was told that I would find nothing in my budget. She put me in her absolute cheapest (ugliest) dress first to show me that I would need to spend a lot more to find a quality dress that I loved. I thought I fell in love with the next dress I tried on, but it was 50% over my budget! With the sweetest council from my aunt, we decided to leave the dress and keep looking.
We still had plenty of time before our next appointment, and my Aunt (the real hero of the day, obviously) suggested we go to a little dress salon she knew about. The store had already been closed for 45 minutes when we showed up, but the owner let us come in and helped me find a few dresses I might like, all of which were within my budget! I thought I was looking for a sexy sheath, but the minute I tried on this classy ball gown I started tearing up! I knew it was the one!

I said yes yes to the Dress!

(Please excuse my face, my mom was taking pictures and I didn't realize!)

    Oh my gosh, that’s gorgeous! Crazy how you can go in with an idea in your head how you think you want to look on your wedding day & then change that idea completely when you find the one Smiley heart I had the same experience. Went to 4 different shops... wanted a very bohemian looking sheath dress with long sleeves (that looked terrible on me) and ended up crying and falling in love with an ivory satin, strapless, super beaded, fit and flare that my sister grabbed for me to try...& it wound up being on clearance & only $600! Score! 😍

    I love when good deeds lead to more good deeds! I'm so glad the shop owner was kind enough to take you in after closing and without an appointment and you found a stunningly beautiful dress! Congratulations!
