Okay, so, I’ve been totally obsessed with this whole “coquette” thing lately, especially when it comes to wedding dresses. It’s like, the perfect mix of girly and elegant, you know? I decided I had to try to find a coquette wedding dress for myself. It is not easy, let me tell you that.
First off, I started looking everywhere online. I mean, every bridal website, every Instagram page, you name it. I spent hours just scrolling, trying to get a feel for what I really wanted. Also, I found some magazines, tore out pages with some wedding dresses. It’s really useful, I’m telling you. I even made a Pinterest board, which, honestly, is a lifesaver when you’re trying to organize your ideas.
Then came the actual dress shopping. Oh boy, was that an experience. I went to like, five different bridal boutiques in one week. And each time I tried to describe what I was looking for a “coquette” wedding dress, some people looked at me like I was speaking a different language, it was hilarious, but sometimes I felt awkward as hell. There were a lot of dresses with those big, fluffy skirts and all that bling, but that’s just not me. I wanted something more… delicate, I guess? With bows, obviously, but like, tasteful bows. My dream coquette wedding dress should show my beauty in a playful and elegant way, at least that is what I thought.
- I tried on this one dress that had a really pretty lace bodice and a flowy skirt. It was cute, but it didn’t quite hit the mark.
- Then there was this other one with a giant bow on the back. It was definitely dramatic, but it felt a little too over-the-top for me.
- Finally, I found this one dress that was kind of a mix of both. It had the delicate lace, the flowy skirt, and a few small bows scattered throughout. It was so pretty!
Honestly, I almost bought it right then and there. But then I started having second thoughts. Like, what if it wasn’t “coquette” enough? What if I found something better later? It’s such a big decision, and I didn’t want to rush into it. And it is hard to not second guess, I mean, for such a big decision in your life, it’s completely normal to me. But when I recalled how I felt in that dress, I just realized that it is the one. I trusted my first feeling, and that’s what matters.
Some tips
In the end, I decided to take a step back and give myself some time to think. I mean, I’m not in a rush, right? And I still have my Pinterest board, so I can keep looking for inspiration. I learned that I should trust my first feeling. Also, doing research is a very smart move, so keep searching and keep trying, I’m sure I can find the perfect coquette wedding dress for me.
It’s a journey, finding the right dress, but it’s also part of the fun. And honestly, I’m kind of enjoying the process. It’s like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you’re looking for the perfect dress. And who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt?
