I found my wedding dress!

Mom, Amy and I went dress shopping for the first time on Monday and went to three bridal shops - Brandi's Bridal in New Glarus, Moments to Cherish in Fitchburg, and Beautiful Brides on the Eastside of Madison. Because the wedding so soon, I pretty much have to buy one off the rack. I was nervous about what I'd find - but Brandi's had a GREAT selection! I probably had close to 15 dresses in the room for me to try on! The "Wedding Consultant" helping me was Caitlyn, and she was great - totally listened to what I wanted and was looking for and found perfect dresses as we were looking too. She actually found the one that I love the most and am going with! The other places didn't match the dress from Brandi's. I wasn't overly impressed with Moments to Cherish, and although the dresses at Beautiful Brides were gorgeous - they were much more expensive than I wanted, and I was quite annoyed with the sales lady. If she made me try on one more strapless dress...which I specifically told her I didn't want...I was going to scream! OK, I'm exaggerating...they were beautiful dresses, but not at all the style I wanted.

So anyway - back to the dress! It's a "Maggie Sottero Couture" Dress...and only requires a few alterations to the hem (of course) and some adjustments in the shoulder straps. It's a sheath style dress, that's between an ivory and a champagne in color. I can't find a picture online of this particular dress...but...I wouldn't show you here anyway in case Benny would decide to read our blog! Oh yeah...it's a great deal too - more than 1/2 off the original asking price! I'm trying it on one more time on Thurdsay evening, and assuming I still like it...I'll buy it!
