I found it!!

Yup, I found my dress :) Surely it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Ever seen "Say Yes to the Dress"? Those crazy brides? Whew, sure glad it didn't turn out like that for me. I'm a pretty indecisive person. Blue and white? Blue and yellow? or pink and gray? Still trying to decide and finalize my color schemes. When it came to my dress, the dress, I knew I would have a hard time picking out the right one. I went to try on dresses three times. One time didn't really count since it was during my lunch hour and I happened to find two in my size at a consignment shop. The second time I went with my family. Like all brides, I had a vision and idea of what I wanted to look like. Long off-white flowing gown with delicate lace, capped sleeves, and a minimal train. I picked out a white chiffon gown, similar to what I had invisioned. However as we started to leave the store I found 2 other dresses that I really liked. Luckily for me I didn't buy that gown that day. I spent the next few weeks searching online and decided to go try on the dresses again. It's fun going to bridal shops, seeing other beautiful brides, all of us complementing each other. I didn't like the chiffon as much today. Strange, I was so sure I wanted to go for the flowly look. Instead, I put on a clean, fit and flared satin gown. Oh, it was beautiful. This was the dress. I didn't have to think about it. A few girls walked pass and commented on how wonderful the dress looked. (I even made one girl trip over the steps while she was checking me out...!!! for realz. HAHAHAH!!!) It feels so good to have found the dress. Easier than I thought. I really wish my bridesmaids were there with me to share the moment. I miss you gals! p.s. the gown was on sale... I ended up paying $378 :) make-a-me happy.



This was one of my favorites. The first dress I picked out and almost bought. I still love it now after seeing it in pictures. But something about it looks almost like a night gown.



Remember this one?! hahah.. high fashion high neck.



The Guadelupe dress. I LOVE this dress. It's everything I was looking for. Except it didn't look good on me :(


Apparently this design is similar to Khloe Kardashians gown. I think I look like I'm melting from the bottom up.



And here is a sneak peak of the one I chose. I hope you love it too!!
