Okay, here is my sharing about my experience of finding wedding dresses in Barcelona, Spain:
I got engaged last year, and like many brides-to-be, I was super excited to start looking for the perfect wedding dress. Since our wedding was planned for Barcelona, I thought it would be a great idea to find my dress there too. I mean, what could be more romantic than getting a dress in Spain?
So, the first thing I did was to do some research online. I typed in “wedding dresses in Barcelona” and started browsing through the results. I found some bridal shops and designer boutiques listed. I also looked at some online forums and blogs where brides shared their experiences.
Next, I made a list of the shops that caught my eye. I paid attention to the styles they offered, the designers they carried, and the price range. I wanted a dress that was elegant, maybe with some lace, but not too over-the-top, also not expensive. I also read reviews from other brides to get an idea of the service and quality of each shop.
Once I had my list, I started contacting the shops to make appointments. Some shops required appointments, while others welcomed walk-ins. I preferred to make appointments to ensure I would have enough time and attention from the consultants. I emailed and called a few places, and thankfully, most of them responded quickly and were very accommodating.
When the day came, I flew to Barcelona with my mom and my best friend. It was such an exciting trip! We spent the first day just exploring the city and enjoying the sights. The next day, we started our wedding dress hunt.
Our first stop was a beautiful boutique in the Gothic Quarter. The shop was stunning, with a wide selection of dresses. I tried on a few different styles, including a silk ball gown and a lace mermaid dress. The consultant was very helpful and patient, but I just didn’t find “the one” there.
We visited a few more shops that day. Some were hit, and some were miss. One shop had a gorgeous collection of embellished gowns, but they were way over my budget. Another shop had some nice dresses, but the service was not great.
- The first shop was in a lovely area, felt very luxurious.
- The second shop was crowded, and the staff seemed rushed.
- The third shop had a good balance of price and quality.
On our third day, we visited a shop that I had high hopes for. And guess what? I found my dream dress there! It was a beautiful A-line dress with delicate lace details. It was perfect! I felt like a princess when I tried it on. My mom and my best friend teared up, and I knew it was the one.
I was so happy and relieved to finally find my dress. We celebrated with some delicious tapas and wine. I made sure to keep all the receipts and documents from the shop, just in case.
