So I know it is a bit early to start looking for a wedding gown but hey...thats the BEST PART!!! Besides getting married to the love of my life of course :)
So I have been doing research online on what type of style of dress I would like and what would fit my strict budget of under $500.00. Why not spend more? Well like any other girl of course I want to look absolutely fabulous on the big day in my deam gown...BUT I am not willing to spend that much moolah on a dress I am going to wear for a total of maybe 12 hours of my life. So being the budget bride I start my search at the usual budget bride bridal gown stores: Alfred Angelo, Jessica McClintock, David's Bridal, and a myriad of other budget gown stores. Nothing has caught my eye quite yet but a few has perked my interest.
So yesterday being a day off for me I decided to go shopping at the Brea Mall and on the way there I spotted an Alfred Angelo so I thought, why not? So I stop in and started browsing the gowns and picked out one that I was interested in trying on, of course me and my eye for expensive things I picked a $2500.00 dress made of pure silk -_- So I tried on the darn poofy thing and it looked like I "crawled out of a giant cupcake" as one on-looker in the store commented on my appearance and I totally agreed. After trying on 3 other different dresses I was starting to get the idea of what is going to look good on me and what isn't. So the last dress I selected was put on me and I actually liked what I saw. It was elegant, simple, classic, BUT I wasn't in love with it. So I asked how much it was, in case the price may MAKE me love the dress, the price tag? $899.00 for a POLYESTER gown. That's right... $900.00 for a freaking pile of Polyester, two PS3's, a flat screen HD TV, a new laptop, a whole lot of dinners out (you get the idea) for a giant pile of Polyester.
So being grateful for the nice sales lady's help I kept a straight face, smiled, thanked her, put on my clothes, thanked her again and walked out of the store all the time thinking how EXPENSIVE a pile of synthetic cloth could be :)

yeah, it can get pricy... but another way you can get a nice dress is to just rent one, since you aren't "willing to spend that much moolah on a dress I am going to wear for a total of maybe 12 hours of my life", heh. but that's just my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteeither way, don't give up! don't get a dress if it's just not for you!
