Dress shopping trip #1

Posted by: Brooke on Aug 20, 2007

My sister, Brae, had mentioned that I should get out and get looking for a wedding dress. I was excited but a little nervous at the same time. It’s going to be extremely difficult to find the perfect dress. The dress that will make mom cry. The dress that will turn me into a bride. The dress that will take me from a fiancee to a wife.

I thought for sure I would like a very simple, plain, white dress with spaghetti straps. I didn’t want to look at strapless or ball gowns or dresses with lots of glam. I’m a plain jane and I need a plain jane dress.

Our first stop was Savvy Bride in Brookfield. The shop is adorable. The people working there are very helpful. My sister, Brae, and my mom started pulling some dresses off the rack. I ended up trying on a variety of dresses. I found a few that I liked, so we took note of those and kept on shopping.

We stopped at another shop, but they only took appointments. We used that time to look at some bridesmaid dresses and then we went on our way.

Our third stop was Beratti Bridal in Germantown. They also had a lot of unique dresses. I found one I really liked and we even took some pictures of that one.

As we drove home, I didn’t feel like I had found “my dress”. I found some nice ones, but not THE dress. I guess we needed to do more shopping.
