Getting Fitted

Will I find one? How many will I have to try on and when do I decide which dress I want? How much will it cost? Believe me, I'd love a fairy tale wedding now that I finally found someone to say yes too. As glamorous as I feel, I don't know how much my budget can expand.

     We all want to feel like a queen on our wedding day I suppose.  As much as I want that fantasy wedding, I'm just the average woman with an average paycheck, but that doesn't mean I can't find a way for my ladies and I to look the part. Let's see what we came up with so we can all feel the glam on my wedding day.

This Sunday all of my bridesmaids and I got together for a drink and dress fitting. . . . . . .  

We went to a local store and found a few that I really liked. My 4 bridesmaids and I were there for 3 1/2 hours!

My sissy & bridesmaid

 I found about 5 dresses that I really liked. Sadly, it was either the top half or bottom half. 

 

 I'm not much on the beaded look, but some were very elegant. 

 I definitely love the ivory compared to the pure white.

 I found that I really like lace.

 I adore the sweetheart cut.

I'm infatuated with chiffon.

 I'm definitely leaning towards something vintage.

Now since I don't have permission to post bridesmaid's pictures with the dresses they tried on, I won't. As far as their dress selection, I wasn't too thrilled. I was also dissapointed that they didn't carry but a few sizes of each dress. My lovely ladies range in their curves and I didn't get to see many dress fittings for them. The customer service was excellent but the choices were slim. 

Most of the wedding dresses were between $800-$1500. The bridesmaid dresses ranged from $100-$140.  My favorite lines were Casablanca Bridal and Allure. I'm seriously thinking about checking out David's Bridal since they have a wider size range and dress selection. As far as the wedding dress, I think I found one online and I'm contemplating on ordering it as a back up dress.

So, what did I learn in all of the chaos? I learned that I definitely have the best bridesmaids and I picked them all for a reason. I learned more about my taste in wedding dresses and that I will be spinning my wheels on how to save more $.
