Well.....what a day it was!
We first started dress day at Trudys, where I tried on at least 4-5 dresses, and only came out liking 1. The girls all encouraged the choices, and thought they looked great on me--some even came to tears...but they just weren't "the one" for me. I wasn't too impressed with the girl who helped me...she didn't give me any choices that I wouldn't have thought of, and I felt like it was hard to communicate to her what it was that I liked. Although, I should give her a break....she seemed new to the job.
Then we headed to David's Bridal, where the girls searched for bridesmaid dresses! It was a piece of cake! I love the fern green color that I have chosen....it looks great on their skin tones. Orignally, I thought that they would all want to get different styles, but they all seemed to like the same one! Which is great!! So, those will be ordered sometime early next year, and pretty sure they will all have champagne heels to go with them. The combo is just GORGEOUS!
We made our next stop at Bay Area Bridal in Cupertino. All around, I was just disappointed. They didn't have dresses that I liked in my price range--they seemed cheap, so it was a little disappointing. The atmosphere was so warehousish...and the girl that helped me seemed rushed. Oh well....I am sure there are other places to look in the area.
So after departing from the girls, my mom and I headed to Valley Fair where we needed to visit Victoria's Secrets and get some work clothes for myself. I was in such a tizzy over the amount of dresses that I had tried on that day, that I figured I had looked at enough for now. But we walked by Blossom's and just had to go in. The girls were really nice and even though I didn't have an appointment I was able to try on 3-4 dresses. I didn't find anything that I really liked (except in the catalogs) but I did continue to get an idea of what I really don't want.
I know that this is my wedding dress and I am only going to be getting one in my lifetime, so that justifies my pickyness I guess. It's just hard and discouraging sometimes. It's like....I try on a dress and I either REALLY don't like it or just like a piece here and there from it. I want to take all of these details that I like from each dress and put them into one "SUPER DRESS".....is there such a thing? I hope so.

how funny, you and i had exactly opposite experiences at all those stores. except David's bridal, I didn't go there. At Trudy's, the girl brought me everything BUT what I asked for, which I didn't even realize until we had left. At Bay Area Bridal, the girl spent so much time with me, like even after they were obviously closing, and at Blossom, they essentially threw the one dress I wanted to try on at Feef and left us to figure it out ourelves in a tiny little dressing room with a bunch of screaming kids all over the place. I guess it's just the luck of the draw.
