After my numerous posts about my wedding accessories, I think it’s time to share my dress! My wedding dress shopping was quite easy…. and honestly I couldn’t be happier.

Planning way in advance obviously had its quirks when it came to dress shopping. The first place I visited with my mom was a very small boutique. There were some nice dresses, but nothing that gave me the butterflies everyone was telling me about. I wanted to fall in love with my dress, and that didn’t happen. I didn’t waste more time even though I could of tried on endless amounts of dresses. There’s something magical when you have a wedding dress on… too bad we only wear it one day!

The next place I visited was referred by my sister’s friend. I was a bit skeptical after all the references which ended up being vendorzilla stories. I didn’t lose hope though and called. This time around I went with my cousin who happens to be my MOH. When we arrived, we were greeted with such kindness - this was a good sign. We looked around and the first dress I tried was the one. It fit perfectly, the color was gorgeous… oh and not to mention I had butterflies!

I knew this dress had to be expensive… but the salesperson replied: $650 with taxes included. Did I hear clearly??? Yes yes, $650 taxes included. Wow… To top things off, if I ordered my dress before the end of the month (which was March 2007) I would get $100 off. Now that’s what I’m talking about! So I basically got my dress, veil, garter, shawl, sash, and extra straps for $690 including taxes. Talk about an awesome price… even better when your mom says she is offering it to you as a gift!

Many of you have mentioned that you dislike pick-up dresses in a previous post here on weddingbee. Honestly your wedding dress all about you, and if it’s perfect for you, then that’s all that counts. So I would like to say… I am a proud pick-up dress bride-to-be. 

Ok here it is: Mr. Flamingo your journey stops here. I mean it!!!

My wedding dress is champagne - the color is stunning and once the lights dim, my dress shimmers. Romantic and not to mention glamorous. You might be wondering what’s up with all the taupe-grayish accessories I’ve posted… well that’s because I will add a sash to my dress - yup a taupe sash.

So what do you think? Honest input please…
