Wedding dress shopping

[duffy]

I went on another tour of wedding shops today. I had been warned off a certain shop by a newly married work friend of mine that said they are a bit OTT. I thought I would try them anyway. Sure enough I tried a dress on that was lovely on the hanger but truly hideous on me!! Before the dress was even on the assistant helping me was cooing and ahhhing. When i got out of the changing room to look in the full mirrors she went into sell overdrive. My friend said it was not a good look for me and the assistant was a tiny bit insulting to her. Needless to say we left.

I wonder how many ladies end up buying dresses that are not really what they wanted because of OTT assistants

I have seen some pushy types in wedding shops too. I have also had some really lovely ladies helping me out, so its a bit like any kind of shopping really.

The pushy ones don't do themselves any favors because they just get a reputation and then people avoid going in

Don't let it put you off

It is no wonder they get fed up though. I have harrased a lady at a wedding shop for the last two months, trying on this dress and that dress, not being able to make a decision. If I were her I would have told me to P*** off by now, but she has been lovely.

I am really looking forward to going and trying some dresses on. At the moment i am browsing about on the internet. I have found it to be a very useful resourse.

Do the bridal shops get annoyed if you bring a few people with you? I am planning on taking 3 others with me?

I absolutely love trying on wedding dresses, in a way i hope i don't find 'the one' very soon because i am just loving it too much. I have gone with my BM's my Mum, my Sister - all on seperate occasions - we make a whole day of it with lunch in between to discuss our dress hunting. Don't you just love that bit when the dress is on - and then they get the back of the dress and swoosh it out so it falls nicely onto the floor - it makes me feel like a princess
