So tonight I'd like to talk about dress shopping. I have never liked Bridal stores, I had no desire to try on dresses so I didn't. I fell in love with a Sue Wong dress I found online and ordered it. It was a simple transaction and the dress is just lovely. For months even before my engagement ring was complete my dress sat hidden away in the closet and I was more then content with that. But as with many other aspects of life one trip to Vegas can change that content feeling. Perhaps it's the feeling of being able to have everything you want in a 7 mile stretch of neon desert or maybe it wasn't Vegas magic at all, maybe it was simply that I needed a second wedding dress?!?
The story of how I ended up with what we new call my Wedding Dress and my Reception Dress started with a very nice email. After getting on a Vegas Wedding email list of one kind or another I started receiving emails for all over the place. This email was a simple invitation to stop into the Jessica McClintock store at Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas. So while waiting for dinner to roll around my Mom and I went in for a look. We looked around a bit and then my Mom found THE DRESS, only at that point I just thought it was too much money and I didn't wanna try anything. But of course to give Mom her "daughter trying on dress moment" I agreed. Once I had the dress all zipped up I started shaking and then Mom saw me and she almost cried. Yep we were so not getting out of that store with out this dress. The issue being the price tag, it was something like 8 times the price of my original dress. However with some generous help from the staff at Jessica McClintock and my Grandmother some 2000 miles away I was able to get my dress. And it is more then I had ever expected, it really is perfect. I guess the real point here is to say that dress shopping isn't all that bad, if you can count one amazing visit to Jessica McClintock dress shopping :)
To all of you Vegas Brides out there please give the Jessica McClintock store at Fashion Show Mall a try, they have an amazing staff and a dress for every Bride that will make you feel just perfect!!!
Well that's all for this evening...1 Year, 7 Months and 6 Days.
