Brides Made Fit Diary - Entry 1: Dress Hunting

So, I started looking for wedding dresses... accidentally. It all started after my mom, Nancy, and I put the deposit down for our reception hall (Villa Penna! It's gorgeous) and then we stumbled upon a bridal dress shop. Nancy is already stressing about finding her dress that won't make her look like the typical "Mother of the Bride." As we looked, I thought I'd pilfer through wedding dresses that would look good on me. I wasn't seeing anything, the saleswoman wasn't listening to me, and then I went into panic mode.

Taking a week off from the traumatic experience, Nancy and I went to another bridal salon, Alessandra's. After a few minutes looking, the saleswoman approached me, we chatted, and she spent more than an hour with me to get a better understanding of what I want. Although she didn't have what I was looking for, she knows what I want and offered to order some that fit my description. In the meantime, she said to keep looking and let her know what I want and they will order it for me. Wow! I think this will be a better experience that I thought.
