The girls (sisters) like the BM dresses I had chosen and we will prob order them online, just need to finalise the colours, they fitted great on both (YAY!)
Bridal shops went like this; No 1_ I had an appointment. The assistants were absolutely no help and let someone else change in my cubicle while I was out showing my mam and sisters a dress. NOT GOOD
No 2- an appointment donated by a friend as the place has a monthlong waiting list for Saturday appointments. The fitter was excellent. He gave me 45 mins with me being the only person in the shop, gave us a crash course in what suits me and how to show off my figure the best. I found one dress I really liked there.
No 3 stocked the dresses I tried on last week. they don't take Saturday appts so we queued for about ten mins before I got to try a max of three dresses on. The fitter was business like and rushed me a little but very professional and she gave me some great tips. I chose my fave of the 2 dreses I had tried on last week and she put a different skirt with the top. She said I would need to order next Saturday latest and then I got the price- EUR1400. Not outlandish but it sounded A LOT more expensive than I remembered from the shop at home. And the dress I like in No2 shop was only EUR 530 (which was an amazingly low price for a wedding dress but its very plain)
So I had a dilemma. I came home and phoned the shop at home in Wexford and the price she gave me was ...................................EUR 1000. For the SAME dress. The service is excellent there and when I get my practice hair I can go try on the dress that day which will be great. I wasn't really ready to order yet and asked about lead times, the wexford shop said that she would need me to order by .............EASTER!
I am so happy. this is the dress I am currently in love with and think I will end up walking up the aisle in. I am going to cut off the choker bit and leave the top completely strapless (I think)
HAIR SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!! I am thinking of wearing a floorlength veil and my hair in an upstyle but not piled high on my head....we'll see
