I wouldn’t buy a dress without Andrew being there. He will tell me straight up if it looks good, and why or why not. Other people, not so much. So he WILL be there when I try on dresses. He’ll probably help me pick them out, too!

If you know the dress is The One, you shouldn’t need approval from other people. Sure, it’s nice to see their reactions when they see you in it, but you should always go with what you feel, most importantly. When I bought my dress, just my mom was with me and that was okay with me. I called my maid of honor right after I decided it was the one and told her about it, but I didn’t necessarily feel like I needed her approval.

I was with my sister and FI’s sister. I found “the one” but felt uncertain about buying it cuz my mom was out of town. I thought she might be upset if I purchased it w/o her seeing it first… so the store let me put down $200 to hold the dress, and if I ended up not getting it for any reason, the deposit could be applied to another dress, veil, accessories, etc. I felt much better about that!

I just had my MOH with me. I actually bought 2 dresses because I couldn’t decide between the two, but at my the Watters sample sale the gowns are only $150 each, so I guess I wasn’t as concerned about getting the exact dress. But I did wear one of the two I bought that day.

I live in GA, my mom lives in WA state. I told her that I would wait until Christmas time to go dress shopping so she could go with me. In early November I went looking to just see what I liked and what style looked best on me. The second salon I went to had styles that I loved and I found “the one” ON SALE. I felt really bad about my mom not getting to see it, so I called. She told me if I loved it I should get it while it was in my budget. To make up for it, though, I took pictures and sent them to a store near her to see. Later that day she got to see it in pictures which made her really happy! (This is how we told my parents we were engaged too! Yeah for 1 hour internet picture developing!)

I found my dress when I was out shopping with Mr Mouse, looking at rings. We passed by a shop and Mr Mouse liked one of the dresses so we went in. I got so giddy I was bouncing all over the place. I called my sister and she came by. Then I called my mom, and she said if I liked it that much she didn’t really need to see it. So I bought it the next day. I was happy Mr Mouse was there, but I didn’t need too much ooohing and ahhhing.

oh man… i am the worst person when it comes to this - i was probably that girl on the phone asking for validation :-p

i just second guess myself for all my big purchases because 1.it’s way important to me and 2. i’m very indecisive

I live in Florida, far away from my family and friends in NY.. so when I found my gorgeous Reem Acra sample at a local salon I was freaking out about making the decision alone!

Luckly I had the world’s best wedding coordinator who went back with me the next day to be my extra set of eyes… what can I say, I’m a libra, can’t make a decision to save my life!
