Brandy - how did it go at David's?

Lua - Wow, that's really early to have everything paid for it seems...  we don't have to have ours done until about a month before we leave...  Hopefully they still have your flowers!  My fingers are crossed for you!

 

Brandy - I second want Lua said!  How did things go??

[Lua]

Ellabaja - I think it's so early because we had such a great group rate with Signature Vacations.  We booked in July with a $150 deposit having to pay in full by Oct 31.  The cool thing though is that we are eligable for 1 price drop up to 60 days before we leave.  So needless to say, we'll be keeping a close eye on the rates and if we see a drop at any time, we'll take advantage and get some $ back.  The other cool thing about it (well not at this moment) is that having it paid so early will make things easier when we're closer to the wedding. It will be nice come Jan/Feb knowing that we've already paid for it and only have to pay for the minister and any extras we want when we get to the resort.

Well it went pretty good, I did not find anything though, nothing really wowed me there, there really isnt much of a selection at Davids bridal, at least not what Im looking for, I tried a few different styles and liked them all but wasnt loving the dresses, nothing grabbed me.  My mom did take a few photos but I dont have them with me. Im thinking im leaning more towards the flowing chiffon dresses which davids only had 2 that were really like that and I just didnt fall in love like I thought I should. But I am really looking forward to going to the bridal shop in Delaware because I know they have a lot of dresses like that there, so I think I will probably find something there, and I think we are going to go there next weekend.

Heres some of the ones I tried on

brandy - i love #2 & #3 but you'll definitely know when you find THE dress and it'll be when you least expect it!

[Brandy]

Im really short so I was having a hard time visualizing some of the dresses, they said I would need to order a petite and they dont carry any in samples so alot of the dresses where a detail was supposed to hit on the hit it almost hit at my knee lol

[Lua]

oh the joys of being short eh?   I'm only 5'3 so i feel your pain.  I'm currently swimming in my dress!! hence why it needs some major alterations in the shortening dept.  mine's a 2 piece though so the corset top really helped to balance things out for me.

here's hoping you have more success at the next shop!

[Brandy]

Yeah Im only 5'2 its so hard finding clothes, but yeah I was swimming in those dresses and you have to pick them up so you can walk and boy were they some heavy dresses!

Thanks Ladies I cant wait to go to the one in Delaware I think I will have better luck there finding my "style"

[Brandy]

#2 was really nice and made me look super skinny but I hated the fabric it was like the fabric of a mattress protector lol and it was itchy!
