I finally found her – the “her” being my dress!
I’ve always had this idea that wedding dress shopping would be such a delightful experience, but after looking for almost 1 ½ years and not finding the right one, I was starting to get frustrated and wondered if I ever would. It seems as if I’ve scoured every bridal shop in Orange County just to find the right dress for me. I finally found it down the street from my parents’ home at a local bridal shop in our area that I avoided going to because of the fear of very unaffordable prices.
My dress is a Mori Lee original with a strapless bodice that has awesome embroidery and crystal beading for some bling. The beading detail cascades through the back of the dress and hemline. I just love it! I really do. It meets all of the musts that I was looking for in my dress and I’m just so happy with it. I had my first official fitting last week to discuss all of the alterations and bustle that needs to get done.
I guess it’s true that when you find it, you’ll just know.
