First dress outing

I went dress shopping with my mom yesterday for the first time! We started out at an actual bridal salon where I tried on about 6 dresses. All of them were about 4 and 5 times my budget! But I really liked the three that are pictured above. On the left is my favorite so far, from Paloma Blanca. It was actually a pearl color and it looked better on me than it does in the pic. The middle is also Paloma Blanca and would come with straps. The sales woman liked it the best on me and I liked the rouging at the tummy. The last one was Mikaella and the sash was tied differently than in the pic. But alas, the cost for these is $2,200, $2,000 and $1250. I plan to spend about $500!

We went to a consignment bridal store after that and as my mom said, "nothing there looked modern." Guess we spoiled ourselves!

I thought I would have a miserable time, but it was actually pretty fun. Although now I worry i won't find a dress like the one i tried on and I will convince myself that $2,200 isn't too much!
