While preparing to leave work and begin the start of a fun-filled weekend, Joi (a BFF & Patrick's sister) asked me to go and look at some gowns at the boutique where she found her wedding gown. Although I had not planned to go looking at gowns on a Friday afternoon, she stated that there was a gown that had my name written all over it!
We arrived at the bridal boutique, where luckily, Joi squeezed us in on the appointment book. The assistants were very attentive and seemed extremely interested in the details of my wedding in order to assist me in my search for the perfect gown.
After being escorted to the dressing room, the bridal attendant entered with a gown. I adhered to her instructions and did not peek in the mirror before stepping out onto the bridal floor "stage." I'm so glad I did! What a gorgeous gown! I said to myself, "And here we go again...falling in love with the first gown I try on." This is exactly what happened at the first bridal boutique I visited. We continued to try on gown after gown, but nothing came close to encompassing all of the classic, southern elegance that the first gown captured (although I did find a runner-up gown to the first choice.)
As every bride knows, it takes time to finally "say yes to the dress," but when you do...and it lingers in your mind, you know you've made the right choice. So, I am down to a total of two #1 picks and two #2 picks at the boutiques I have visited thus far.
Here's to "Happy Dress Hunting!"
