Trying on Wedding Dresses

Random day off. So I called David's bridal to look and try on a few dresses just for fun. I went with Vinh. I showed the consultant a few dress I liked from the catalog and we started there. This is the first one I tried on.... And Vinh liked it right away! Dress by Oleg Cassini, very exquisite designer. Made for curvy girls.

Oleg Cassini made very nice A-Line dresses! But it was a little out of my price range. Of course, if it was the one, I wouldn't mind the price. But it had to be "The" dress! Pretty close, but this wasn't it. So, moving on.

Vera Wang is a divine designer. Love the way it holds my waist and make me feel like a princess. Really hugs me in the right places on top. But the bottom is too extravagant for me. I only considered it because the price... It is a steal! It was an optional dress.

Again, another Oleg Cassini. I like this because of the sweetheart. He's a very truly talented designer. Very comfy dress and hugs my chest and waist well while hiding my bottom half. Hehe

It's okay... And the rest of the day was a whomp... I tried a few more dresses but wasn't worth taking pictures.


Love the ruching done on this dress. But it did feel like it was the one. Sigh, I tried on a few more and was tired. None really called out to me. At this point I was settling for the Vera Wang dress cause of the sale price. But was it really worth it? Either that or the first Oleg dress. Because Vinh liked it and The dress was a good 7-8. But I felt like there's gotte be something more. Awaiting my 10. =P

Then few days later I came back with my sister this time. Retried the first Oleg dress and the Vera one just to be sure. I loved how the Vera hugs my waist. But I tried a few different ones this time. Jaime told me I should try a mermaid dress. I was skeptical but need to keep an open mind... So here we go!

Love the blue! It'll match my theme right away. But it's too funny to do that with your wedding gown. I think. But I gave it a try.

I gave this a try too... A-Line light and flowy dress. It was okay..

Finally, little did I know, as soon as I walked out and turned to look at the mirror.... This was it! Thank you for my consultant for helping me try a figure hugging dress. I loved it so much I didn't want to take it off!




Veil time! This is a simple w/beading one.
This is a log cathedral veil... Illusion of having a bigger dress.
Trying to see if I can sit in it! =)
Since I didn't go with the Vera Wang dress... I got this Vera Veil! =) It was simple and the perfect length! Not too long or too short. And I need to only wear one veil instead if stacking on 2+ veils for volume. Vera made this with layers already. =) smart women.
Thank you Deanna for helping me find my dream Wedding Dress! The $50 off Sale made it much more fulfilling! It was just perfect everything. When you find the one, everything just falls into place!
