Of course like every other woman and potential bride, I already knew what dress I wanted to wear on my wedding that.. this was before I was engaged or rather before I bought my VERY FIRST bridal magazine "Bridal Guide"
The very first dress that caught my eye was a Rosa Clara dress.. it was over the top cinderella- ish but I loved it.
Picture is to your right- its beautiful right? So what did I like about this dress? question is what didnt I like? I liked the fact that there were flower petals on the one hand part of the dress.. i also like that it wasnt like a regular ball gown (puffs up from the waist..eww).. it was fitting all the way to the hip and the goes crazy!!!

Anywho... being a resourseful bride, I decided to google the prices and I was getting prices within the ranges of 3,000 to 5,000 waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy beyond my budget and then some...
Oh BTW my budget for my gown is $0.000 to $1,500.. Im accepting donations as well ;-)
Back to the dress, I still like it but Im not willing to spend that money.. I have found other dresses that I absoulutely like.. I have aonly being to two bridal stores so far: Alfred Angelo and Davids Bridal (DO NOT GO THERE...EVER!!! CAN U SPELL S-U-C-K-S.. sorry david?). I will post up pictures of some of the gowns that I tried in these stores... (I will not post the gowns that I may get...maybe a little bit closer to the date..ill think about it)
These are some gowns that I really like..
The first gown is by Maggie Sottero whom I absolutely adore and the second is by Rosa Clara who I absolutely adore as well!!!
I think I absolutely adore a lot of bridal gown designers...thats my problem waaa (well except David...)
Ezioma looks like you had a horrible experience at David's Lmaooo...those two dresses are beautiful...
ReplyDeleteFYI, it almost took me one minute to find the link to post because the background is so light...that or the background text is too light.

Yea.. davids bridal was definitely not the biz
ReplyDeletethank you didi..ill change it!
david's and alfred angelo are mass-market lousy stores. i got mine from http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/
ReplyDeletei figure it's only been worn once, right?! some of the dresses were never worn... but you can search for your designer dress for cheap! :)
