Hello Everyone,
Against all odds the weekend I have booked in for wedding dress shopping was not the weekend that i expected us to have the most glorious May Bank Holiday weather but nevertheless, I have now completed the second round of wedding dress shopping and can confirm it does't get easier each time you go. After round one of the trying on, I thought I had narrowed down the shape and style I wanted.
You literally think you are on top of the world when you find a shape that works for you and then the assistant brings over another beautiful dress for you to try, then the love affair start all over again but with multiple dresses this time.
This weekend I have visited another store, located in Thrapston. This boutique is a little higher up on the price scale, so I think my dream of getting the dress, veil, headpiece and belt in my budget is still just that...a dream.
Gowns & Garters
This is my favourite bridal store that I have been in so far. It is situated on the cutest little High Street in Thrapston . The obvious likability for Gowns & Garters was that they were the most local bridal shop to stock my favourite wedding dress designer - Essence of Austrailia. I have loved this brand every since I saw it at the wedding show in Birmingham, I also love this collection as they have many dresses in the range and they all have something beautiful to offer no matter what you are looking for.
They also stock Stella York, Maggie Sottero, Mori Lee, Rebecca Ingram and Sophia Tolli.
They make the whole experience so easy as all the dresses have the normal price tag but alongside they all have the picture of the dress so you know what it looks like without have to pull it fully off the rail. They also have the bridesmaid section upstairs where the stock Sorella Vita and Mori Lee in the full range of styles and colours.
If you are looking for a new bridal shop to go to, then I would definitely recommend you try Gowns & Garters. To book an appointment, you can contact them on 01832 730652.
I also have another appointment at George James Bridal at the end of the month where I am hoping to locate the most beautiful Justin Alexander Dress, it was last season however so I am hoping there will be a way to find this or if not a very similar one.
I have come to realise that the wedding dress shopping experience is not all as light and fluffy as it is made out on TV. It's tiring and mind blowing all at the same time. I also do not think that “The Feeling” actually exists, this may just be for me as I cannot make a decision to save my life and this will stress me out and may cover the feeling you are supposed to get.
However, I hope these posts help anyone who is currently also on the hunt for their own dress. It’s not all bad as I am quite confident I have found two amazing front runners but will not be rushing myself to making a decision. I will sleep on it and take my time to make sure it is the perfect dress for me. If anyone has any suggestions on where I should be looking or can share any experiences they had whilst shopping for their dress, I would love to hear from you, please contact me via the contact tab on my home page.
