    So.......
    My friend booked us into a couple of a wedding dress shops yesday to have a look at.... I now I have well overa year but I can be quite picky at times and I am hoping to find what I like to maybe be able to pick it in a the dress shops Sept or Jan sales... To be honest two shops yesday were just enough as I got white blindness after a while....

    So I found a lovley one in the first shop priced at just under £500.. Lovely..... But then I went the next shop and fell a little bit in love with a dress coming in at just over £1000... Grrr

    Once I tried the more expensive one on I felt the quailty and the feel of where the money was going.... It is a "bit diffrent" so i am not sure that it could be custom made... or even having it made would make it any cheaper...

    Plus point is that it fitted me perfectly and as it is a bit unusual then Hopefully it may be in the shops sample sale.. Fingers cross...

    So now I thinking I might stop looking as all I have in my head is "that" dress... I might dismiss some lovely dresses beacuse its all I can think off... or shall I keep looking as there are so many dresses out there that I might find another one I love more nad is more comfortable on the wallet!!!

    Grrr..... Just praying fora sale now!!... or finding another dress that I love more...Ive still got over a year so I have plenty of time....

    I firmly believe in following your heart .... like you I had gone to several bridal shops, I seen my dress in the first one we went to and I knew THAT was the dress I wanted, several dresses later I was like no I don't like that or I don't like this and my mind kept going back to that very first dress ... I just KNEW it was meant to be MY dress :)

    I've found my dream dress but thought to myself, no I'll just go to other shops first and see what they have, but all the time I'm thinking - well yeah its nice but not as nice as the first one!!!!!! lol

    I think im gonna go back to the original shop and get the one i really really really love xx

    I'm just a bit worried as I didnt budget for over £1000 on a dress.... Although my Friend did point out that as it has a high neckline I would be saving money on jewellry....hehehe

    Ive posted a pic on my profile if you wanna have a look...
