Wedding Dress Shopping

last summer I started looking for wedding dresses. I’m incredibly picky and didn’t really know what I wanted so I tried on a little bit of everything.

I went in thinking I wanted something super simple and I when I tried on my first ballgown I was like “WAIT, actually — I must be the Diamond of the Season!!”

it was fun trying stuff on but also overwhelming! I must’ve tried on over 20 dresses lol and yet nothing felt like *the one*

I ended up opting for a custom dress design (not shown here obvs) but I think the pics are fun👰‍♀️

... Read moreWedding dress shopping can be a thrilling yet daunting experience for many brides. With countless styles, fabrics, and designers available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Here are some tips to enhance your shopping journey: 1. **Start with Research**: Before visiting bridal boutiques, browse online for inspiration. Websites like Pinterest or bridal magazines can help you identify silhouettes and styles you love. 2. **Set a Budget**: Wedding dresses come in a wide price range. Determine your budget early on to avoid falling in love with a dress beyond your means. 3. **Schedule Appointments**: Rather than walking into shops unannounced, schedule appointments for personalized attention. Bring along trusted friends or family for feedback. 4. **Be Open-Minded**: While it’s good to have an idea of what you want, don’t hesitate to try on styles you wouldn’t normally consider. You might be surprised by your selections! 5. **Consider Comfort**: You’ll be wearing your dress for hours; comfort is key! Move around in the dress to see how it feels. 6. **Alterations Are Normal**: Be prepared for alterations. Most dresses need some adjustments to fit perfectly, so factor this into your shopping timeline. Remember, the goal is to enjoy the process while finding a dress that makes you feel beautiful on your special day!

6,7,8—— im not a fan of the skirts being pulled up in spots, and 6 is just way over done! The top on 7 is a winner!!! Not the skirt

Dresses I tried on and said no to & why! ✨ No. 1 was a pretty dress, but it didn’t necessarily make my jaw drop. Not the biggest fan of tulle so I just knew I would find something I’d love more than this. ✨ No. 2 made me feel like I was 15. Way too youthful and dainty with the floral app

Highly recommend going to a David’s Bridal to try on dress silhouettes before shopping at bridal boutiques if you plan to do so! What I thought I was going to love ended up making me feel meh. None of these were “the one” but gave me a lot of insight as to what would be “the one” and some details s
