LOL, I cant wait to read it!

Thats great, so are you going to keep your custom dress?

Shouldnt you be working on your planning thread LOL

Good luck, and I hope you find something, I know what you mean I tried dresses on and I liked them but they just didnt grab me and make me go wow!!

Yay for Turks & Caicos!!!!!

LOL yeah thats the last thing you want to do is pass out!!! Yeah she was really nice I spoke with her for a good 15 minutes she was the sweetest southern lady ever!

Everything looks amazing Amanda! I love you oot bags and what a steal, I still cant get over that your FI made his own ring, have an amazing time!! Your wedding will be gorgeous and I cant wait to see pictures when you get back, especially in that killer dress!!

Thanks Ellabaja I hope my next experience is better, I think it will be better than Davids Im sure, they should really train their employees to be more people-friendly!

Thanks Tenny!! yeah they really should get some better fabric options, where did you end up finding your dress?

Thanks fmichelle, your dress is gorgeous! And thanks for the heads up on the alterations, my mom is considering taking it somewhere else to have my dress altered, not sure how that will go but I guess Ill just have to keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks mochamakes, and good luck dress shopping, is it your first time going?

Yes, it is a smaller, family owned bridal shop, I spoke to the owner the other day and she was super nice! She was even willing to open the shop up for me on the days she is normally closed.

It was crazy they were asking like what style are you looking for and Im like well Im getting married on a beach so I dont want anything that will make me hot, and I dont want super poofy and I dont want it to be heavy and they were like oh you can wear whatever on the beach you wont get hot and heavy doesnt matter and my mom was like she has to travel with it on a plane and they were like oh shell be fine, its like there werent even listening to what we wanted I dont care if its fine, its not what I want! I wouldnt recommend David's Bridal, when we first got there it was like nobody wanted to help and then they kept asking questions like are you registered and I was like no what does that mean, nobody answered me so they said go look around at dresses, so we looked pulled some (I mean we did this for a while) and then I was like why arent they getting us a dressing room, well you have to be registered to try on dresses, well helllloooooo why didnt you tell me that to begin with when I asked you! So then we had to set the dresses somewhere I had to fill out paperwork then put in the computer and then I got a dressing room! It was crazy sorry for the rant!!!

Cant wait to see more, thats so amazing that your FI made his own ring, I think it looks fantastic looks exactly like one you would get in the store!

OH I know they had this one fabric they called some sort of tafetta not regular taffeta but it was almost like wool or cotton or something and all I could thinking about was sweating my butt off in it!! And the ladies there were like oh no you can where whatever you want on a beach it doest matter now-a-days!

LOL, yeah I know what you mean, about 30 more lbs over here!!!

Welcome lsmith211! And congrats!!

#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!

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"

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

Heres some of the ones I tried on
