I knew Friday the 13th would be my lucky day to find my dress. We got an early start as our appointment at a bridal boutique was the first one of the day. The previous night I had perused this particular bridal boutique's web site writing down style numbers of dresses I was most interested in.
When we arrived it felt like a REAL bridal boutique. Trust me some of them feel like a regular department store not a specialty boutique. It was perfectly decorated in all things most girls like! Hot pink, polka dots, and cute circle textured patterns on the chairs. Charming for sure!
While the bridal consultant assigned to me looked for the dresses I had written down she told us to cruise around the store and grab any additional dresses I liked. We looked at all racks in the different areas of the boutique. As I rounded the corner of a long row of dresses that were hanging my eye was drawn to a dress that was currently on a mannequin. When the bridal consultant came back by I asked if I could try the dress on the mannequin. She was quick to grant my wish. It was a dress like no other I had seen. And I've done my share of looking! I've spent many evenings looking online at numerous dresses. Plus I did have one other time out looking and trying on. So this dress was definitely eye catching to me and certainly worth a try.
When I got into the fitting room. I was asked by the bridal consultant which dress I wanted to try first. I was quick to choose the dress from the mannequin. It was an amazing feeling as I was helped into that dress. As I came out to walk the "runway" my soon to be mother-in-law began to cry. As for me I was beaming while I proclaimed my love for the dress. I did try on more dresses after that one. But to no avail as the 1st dress was an unbelievable front-runner.
We soon left the store to go to another bridal store just to see what they had to offer. The 2nd store of the day was just that...a store not a cute boutique. Not the same feeling at all! Both of us walked around aimlessly as we could not get the image of the very 1st dress out of our minds. I tried on quite a few dresses but nothing gave me the same feeling as the dress from the mannequin. We decided to go to lunch and chat about things. I told my soon to be mother-in-law that the 1st dress of the day at the cute boutique was "the dress". I no longer had the desire to continue looking. Nothing was going to compare!
After lunch we canceled an appointment we had at a 3rd store and went back to the cute boutique. My soon to be mother-in-law started to tear up again when the bridal consultant carried "the dress" into the room for me to try again. I am very happy to say my wedding dress is now on order!
