Okay, so, I’ve been dreaming about this day since I was a little girl, you know? The perfect white wedding dress, just like a princess. It’s silly, I know, but it’s always been my thing. So when it came time to actually start looking, I was beyond excited, but also kind of overwhelmed. Where do you even begin?
First, I scoured the internet, looking at pictures, you know, just getting a feel for what’s out there. I found some “Royal Style in the Making” exhibition photos online, but honestly, they were a bit too much for me. Then, I stumbled upon some custom dress shops, like, they can actually make a dress from scratch! That sounded amazing, but also way out of my budget. There was this one dress, a white princess gown, going for over a thousand bucks. I love beautiful things but that was too much. Then another one with beaded pearl lace, almost two thousand dollars! Yeah, that’s a no from me.
I decided to hit up some local bridal shops. I dragged my best friend along for moral support, and we made a whole day of it. Tried on a bunch of dresses, some were okay, some were… not so okay. It was actually kind of fun, even though nothing was really clicking. We went to at least five or six shops that day. My friend was really patient, helping me zip up and giving me her honest opinion.
Finding The One
- The moment I slipped it on, I knew. It was like magic.
- It was this beautiful white, not too stark, but just a soft, lovely shade.
- It had these delicate lace details, and the silhouette, oh my gosh, it was like it was made for me.
I ended up getting it from a local shop. Turns out, January is a great time to buy a wedding dress because, you know, everyone gets engaged around the holidays, so they have sales and stuff after that. Who knew, right? I got it at a pretty good discount, too, which made it even better! It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t as crazy expensive as some of those custom ones. I even got a small discount, which made me feel like I won the lottery.
I’m so happy with my dress. It’s not just a dress, it’s like, a part of my dream, you know? I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day. It’s everything I ever wanted, and more. I mean, some people might say a white dress is just a tradition, but for me, it’s more than that. It’s about feeling beautiful, feeling special, feeling like a princess on my big day.
So yeah, that’s my story about finding my perfect white princess wedding dress. It was a journey, but so worth it in the end. I learned that it’s okay to have these dreams, and it’s okay to chase them, even if they seem a little silly to others.
