So, by now, we all know that I was married before - blah, blah, blah. Because of that, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this wedding dress. I mean I could have - I just didn't feel right doing that. In saying that, however, it was still very important to me to still feel like a bride. Another requirement - I wanted a long dress. No question about that.
Plus - I was on a time crunch - I needed a dress by October and it was July.
Enough Said.
Which left me with very few options.
I went the "safe" route and made an appointment at David's Bridal - I had a list of dresses I wanted to try and on. But - O.M.G. - not one of those dresses would I have even considered to wear on my wedding day. They looked cheap and goddy and so NOT me.
Anyway, I left the store that day feeling defeated and panicked because I had no idea where to go from there. I knew that if I went to a regular bridal store I'd be paying way more than I wanted to spend but, really, with time not on my side I decided I better start looking at all those bridal stores.
Anyway, I was on the phone with one particular bridal store the night before I was to venture out to those oh-so-expensive stores when low and behold they suggested the most ingenious thing ever - "why don't you wear a bridesmaid's dress".
Say. What?
Genius.
It was at that moment that I shifted my thoughts from expensive bridal dress to inexpensive bridemaids dresses.
And by, golly, I found a beautiful dress...
Here's just a preview of what it looks like - stay tuned for more pictures soon....
