She Found the Gown!

Today was a very special day.  I was lucky enough to share in my best friend's special day of finding her wedding gown, and I was honored.  She had done some research online trying to find styles that she liked so when we arrived for her appointment we were able to show the consultant some ideas for gowns she'd like to try on.  We went to David's Bridal and her mother, Leta, met us there also.  Our appointment was for 11:00 and we walked in the door at 11 on the dot and we're ready to help Jeanine find her gown...

I think she tried on a total of 7 dresses and right away she was able to narrow the search down to 3 top contenders...

1. A white strapless lace gown with ribbon detail.  It had a semi sweetheart neck line, a trumpet style skirt to it,  and the lace detail was beautiful and unique, it was all leaves.  This dress was one of the dresses she found online and wanted to try on.
2. A white strapless flow-y gown with underlying lace detail.  It had a sweetheart banded criss-cross neck line, free failing skirt, and an underlying lace detail of flowers covered by a sheer top.
3. An ivory chiffon wedding gown with ruffle detail and lace.  It had thin straps, both the front and back were v-necks, and the back of the dress had ruffled trim from the straps that ran all the way down the train of the dress.

It was a hard decision because she looked absolutely stunning in all of the dresses, but especially in the 3 she narrowed it down too.  After a few try-ons it was narrowed down to the white strapless flow-y gown and the ivory chiffon gown.  She put the ivory chiffon gown back on and held the iPad with a picture of her wearing the white strapless flow-y gown and in  blink of an eye the decision was unanimous.  The ivory chiffon wedding gown with ruffle detail and lace was hands down THE perfect dress for Jeanine.  To top the already perfect dress off, the consultant added a champagne colored belt with small champagne and white flowers on it and a little bit of beading.  It made the whole gown come together perfectly.

After very little hesitation, the consultant handed Jeanine a bell, told her to make a wish and ring the bell signifying that SHE FOUND THE GOWN! She closed her eyes and made her wish and then rang the bell and the store cheered.  She took her gown off and changed back into her clothes and came out all smiles.

The paper work was filled out and the dress paid for - it's official hers!  It should arrive in the store in about 3 months, then it's alterations, the last fitting, and then WEDDING TIME!  All and all we were only at David's Bridal for just over an hour and she looks stunning in her dress.
