As my cousin Ate Anne said, its the "Say Yes to the Dress - Bridesmaid edition!" I had so much fun with this Alfred Angelo fitting, and I hope the girls did too :) I was lucky enough to have all my bridesmaids available, and to get their input in helping me decide which dress to pick. Its hard to decide especially when the sample dresses aren't the colors of my choice, which is violet. Shannon and Chris, the stylists, pointed us to the direction of what kind of dress I was looking for. We narrowed it down to six different styles. Please excuse the photo quality, I took screen shots of the video (which will be posted below)
Dress #1
First dress is a beautiful flowing chiffon dress. It has the layering A line at the bottom. However I didn't like how low it came on the bust.
Dress #2
The second just doesn't scream bridesmaid to me. Its too simple, and the bow on the side looked a little off. Doesn't it look more like a cocktail kind of dress?
Dress #3
Again, another cocktail looking dress. Its simple, yet I love how it accentuates the bust ;)
Dress #4
Forth dress was a definite favorite amongst all of us! Its a one strap with flowers and free flowing. At first glance of it on the hanger I thought it was hideous, but to my surprise its beautiful on!
Dress #5
Fifth dress was also gorgeous! I like that its a halter top, but doesn't expose too much of the bust. It fit so well on the girls. This dress was in my top 3.
Dress #6
Sixth dress is a halter top (like i initially wanted.) It gathers around the waist and has the ribbon, which is probably the most flattering on everyone.
It was definitely hard to choose between dress # 4,5, and 6. Can you guess which dress I chose? I which one is your favorite?!
This is one of the more emotional steps to planning our wedding... finding the perfect wedding dress! I brought my mom and bridesmaid Celisse to come along with me to Alfred Angelo on this special day! I couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful opportunity!
We arrived to Alfred Angelo early at 8:30AM. We had to come early before they opened in order to film comfortably. Chris and Shannon were so helpful, it made the whole experience stress free. To be honest, I was so nervous to try on these dresses, but you can tell I warmed up after the first few. My friend and Mom were very shy, they're so cute! Celisse said she wished we opened the bottle of champagne before hand. lol
Dress #1 felt overwhelming with all the boob action. The dress was a larger size, so Shannon added the pins to adjust to fit me. I could imagine it to look great on someone who doesn't have a full bust. Dress #2 had a beautiful corset top, but overall it was too frilly for me. Dress #3 was one of my top picks! I think I fell in love because it was the perfect fit for me, literally! Contoured to my body so well. It was a total fit and flair. and did you see that cute "whip creme" bottom? ADORABLE! The sweetheart neckline with jewels were so beautiful. Dress #4 is the Ariel dress from their Disney collection. It was the first dress that caught my attention to Alfred Angelo. I still think it's beautiful, just not for me. Its interesting how I felt like it was "the dress" from looking at it on the internet, but you'll never know til you try it on. Dress #5 is Mom's pick! Its a gorgeous dress that fit me perfectly. Sweet, fitted on top, and flared out in layers. I love how light weight it is too! She was quite persistent that I choose that one. I kept in mind that I respect my mom's wishes, yet I reminded myself that it is my wedding ;) Dress #6 was a complete no-go for me. It look like a barbie prom dress! Although I did love the convertible aspect of it. It would be the perfect reception dress! Dress #7 didn't catch my interest what so ever. My mom bluntly agreed as well. lol! With dress #8, I felt the same way. In the end, I narrowed down my favorite dresses to be #3 and #5. Which one is your favorite?
Unfortunately, I won't reveal my final pick until our wedding! Sorry to leave you all in suspense, but I can't have Benji figuring out which one I choose. Which, by the way I made him promise me to never to watch this video anytime before our wedding! Although, he's aloud to "listen" as many times as he pleases.
