A Dress

One of the first things I did after getting engaged was purchase bridal magazines. I was hoping for some guidance as to my next step. I was hoping for mouth watering inspiration. I was hoping for ideas for some DIY project. What I got were basically magazines full of wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses.

None of the dresses in the magazine adds appealed to me, except one. The company held a full page add in every bridal magazine I looked at. The dress they displayed was perfect. It was everything I had ever imagined I would wear on my wedding day. Strapless. Straight neckline. A-line or ballgown skirt. A colored sash. It also had something I didn't think wedding gowns had. Pockets.

Pockets? Why yes. I think I would love pockets. Pictures of me with my hands just in the pockets would look awesome. I could stash tissues, lip stick, or other necessities in them. When I choose dresses to wear in my everyday life, I always lean towards the ones with pockets. I am at a loss as to wear to put my phone without them and resort to tucking it into my bra. Classy, right?

Some bridal magazines have pages of 6-8 women in wedding dresses they have chosen to feature. I would see a dress I liked and you know what? It was my dress.

You are probably wondering now what this amazing dress is and where you can get your hands on it. The dress is made my Aria Dress Style 185.

Sourse

One of the awesome things about this dress was the price tag. At the time it was about $550 and now it only costs $595. The fact that the dress didn't have a train was nice because I was concerned about a train dragging the ground for the ceremony. Also, the altering cost would be lower since it wouldn't need a bustle. The next thing to do was to make an appointment to try this baby on.

Were you overwhelmed by the dress adds in bridal magazines?
