OK... so not yet... but it has started!
I went to my first wedding dress appointment yesterday and was partially nervous, but also excited. I know the type of dress I'm looking for and know that I don't want to spend a ton of money, so that helps some. It's also nice to see what some of the dresses look like on and in person than what I may have seen online. What a difference!
I was mainly looking for lace, but did opt to try on some satin ones as well. The satin ones weren't horrible, but boy were they heavy. There was one that wasn't so much, but I just feel like I would be carry around that extra weight all day/night and want to be free to move.
I ended up really liking a couple, although a few others could have been added to that list as well. It was my first time, so I was open to a lot - as long as it was in the style that I was looking for. The two that were written down each had their own pros and cons.
#1 - The Good: just enough lace, a great v-neck neckline, fit loose but was still form fitting, and very lightweight. The Bad: low back, so not sure what I would do with a bra, and the slip underneath sits weird in the chest area (but could have just been the size too).
#2 - The Good: fits AWESOME (fits my body perfectly), has a nice corest that would hold up to anything, just enough lace, not much for alterations, and not heavy at all. The Bad: strapless and isn't able to get straps.
Both are the same price, or relatively close. They are also both a tish above the maximum price range, but the first one is on a 25% off sale too... so that is a bonus. I have another appointment tomorrow with a small boutique in town, and plan to call 3 more places for next week before another appointment in St. Paul next weekend. They all have about the same designers, but it'll be nice to see what is all out there to make a decision.
In other news... our venue for the reception gets booked on Monday!!
