I admit, I’m an emotional shopper. I have to not only be in the mood to really shop, but if things aren’t going my way, I let it get to me, and give up quickly. After my first stop at a bridal salon and only liking one dress, I was discouraged. I had poured over pictures in magazines and online, but then having some of those same gorgeous dresses on my body, I just wasn’t feeling the love.

(Okay Mr. Cloud, that’s your cue! Love you long time, but scram!)

MOH and I headed to the second salon (which shall remain nameless). I had an appointment, but the sales girls were all busy. I was told I could pull whatever I liked and was shown a room to change in. I have no pictures because I was less than impressed, yet again. A few had qualities I liked, a nice neckline here, a flattering detail there, but that first one was still in the back of my head. I ended the day empty handed and decided to wait a few weeks until Mama Cloud would be with me to brave the stores again. When she did come, we went back to the first store, Bella Rosa, to try a few on again. The first dress was up first again, and I don’t know if it was because I was feeling less overwhelmed and not coming off an emotional breakdown, or maybe it was that Mama Cloud had tears in her eyes agreeing with my decision. But this time, I knew it was the one.

The order was placed that day, and a few months later when both Mama Cloud and FMIL Cloud were in town, I got to go try her on! And I might be a little biased, but I really do think she is a beauty!

All images are courtesy of Mama Cloud, and since we didn’t remember to take one from the front of my whole body, or bother to tuck the hanger straps and tags in, here is a better picture from the Priscilla of Boston website:

Was anyone else as crazy (or lucky, maybe) as I was to buy the first dress you tried on?
