My mom and I went into David's Bridal today to try on my dress and walked out with it paid for!
So, my wedding isn't going to be until the spring of 2010. We graduate next June and want to get married the following spring. I have always wanted my wedding dress to be a lil different instead of the typical white wedding dress and I love the color red. So I started searching for wedding dresses that incorporated red and found the perfect one. My mom suggested that since its not likely the style will still be around in two years we should buy it now especially if it was what I really wanted. So we went, tried it on and put it on order since the store dress had makeup smudges on it. Here's the dress:

The funniest part of the day was the reaction of the staff at the shop. We walk in tell them my wedding won't be for 2 years, don't even have a real date set but I know the exact dress I want. I try it on walk out of the dressing room let my mom zip me up look in the mirror, look at my mom and she asks if I like it. I say yup, ask her if she likes it she says yes its pretty. Then I turn around to take it off, one of the ladies asks if I 'd like to try anything else on we say no we'll take this one. All the women: brides, brides mothers, wedding stylists all turn to look at me in astonishment. It was great, it fit perfectly, we found the right veil and headpiece, ordered the dress paid for all of it and walked out the door. LOL
My mom later told my dad that she could tell the ladies didn't think we were seriously looking for a dress yet, that they just thought we were just browsing. And the better part is that the whole shabang cost $888.00!
Just wanted to share my funny story and ask if any of you ladies had any funny stories about shopping for wedding dresses?
