I went wedding dress shopping and hated it
I went wedding dress shopping a few days ago. I told the stylist that I wanted a ball gown with off the shoulder sleeves and a long train. And it was like she didn’t listen to anything I said. She kept bringing me mermaid styles and when I mentioned I wanted a ball gown and didn’t like the mermaid styles she’s just say “well you’re young and have a nice body sob you should show it off” it just wasn’t a fun experience and made me not want to go and really chose the dress. But my MOH and I decided that we’ll just check out a few boutiques that she knows. Edit to mention: only one of the mermaid styles fit me enough that I came out of the dressing room. My butt was too bit that the top for fine for all of them but I couldn’t pull them down. And I told her that too and she kept bringing mermaid styles. #Lemon8Scrapbook
Wedding dress shopping can be a rollercoaster of emotions. Many brides approach this experience with excitement, eager to try on beautiful gowns and find 'the one.' However, not every experience is a fairy tale. It's crucial to communicate your vision clearly with stylists, and don’t be afraid to speak up if your preferences aren’t being considered. Remember, finding a wedding dress is a personal journey, and it should reflect who you are. If you're struggling with finding the right silhouette, consider trying different styles and sizes until you find the perfect fit. It can also be beneficial to bring a trusted friend or family member along who can provide honest feedback and support. Also, exploring various boutiques could uncover options that resonate better with your style. Their expertise can make a difference in the search for the ideal dress. Above all, it's important to enjoy the process and not let any setbacks discourage your excitement for the big day.
I’m so sorry this happened! I used to work at David’s Bridal (I recognize those dresses, lol) and always made it my mission to make every bride feel heard, special, and beautiful. Hopefully every stylist you have moving forward does the same.
