My wedding dress shopping was a bit..... unorthodox. I went into town to get some t-shirts, and came home with a wedding dress. I just thought I'd pop into a shop..... My dress was the bargain of the century though it had £1250 off! I'm very glad thats what happened because a) I'm the most indecisive person ever and would have been in serious trouble if there had been many and b) I didn't really have anyone to go dress shopping with - not that would have involved hundreds of miles of travelling. So thats what happened. Having said I didn't ever want a (strapless) big traditional dress, I put one on and felt like a bride. I very much loved my dress! And very much need to get it cleaned and in nice acid free tissue paper!
Here are a few of my favourite pics of the moment from Once Wed (that website..... wow.... if I could have had an outside wedding, damn english unpredictable weather!) And my dress.
(Yes, I had atrocious posture on my wedding day)
Now that is the way to buy a dress! I have just spent the last ten days dithering between three dresses and have driven myself crazy trying to decide. I know exactly what you mean about going for a completely different dress to what you thought because it made you feel like a "bride"; this definitely contributed to my indecision!
ReplyDeleteYour dress was stunning too. No-one would have ever known, if you hadn't outed yourself here.
ReplyDeleteJim's sister had the same thing as you two - she wanted small and understated until she tried on a 'brides' dress. Now she wants to be a bride-y bride too!
