Sounds absolutely beautiful!

I am so pleased that you found the one.

Thats an average kind of price for a dress, I guess you can pay more or less on a dress, depends on what you are happy with. But alot of dresses I looked at were in this region.

Who is it by? I will help you have a look.

PS God yeah jeans are SO boring afterwards!

thats the problem - they only have their own tags on them and wont tell you who its by - which i found strange.

having a nose on there site but still no luck.

showing mum tomorrow - but its a new on in and its just a little big but they said they can alter the one there so i dont have to worry about it coming in on time.
it also give me some time to pop into a couple of other shops.

it seemed the one and it looked perfect - but wanna try a couple more on to be sure - does that sound mad??

So pleased you found your dress.

Hope you manage to find a pic. You should be able to find out which designer its by if you ask them. Otherwise ask them if they have a picture.

Sounds lovely - glad you found one you like!

If they are going to be altering the sample for you rather than ordering a brand new one in you should be able to get a discount... Mine was £300 instead of £900

Ah Delphine were i'm getting mine from, she was nice but when i had to got through the paper work bit she'd taken it upon herself to add the veil and tiara i liked onto the order without me actually saying yes. i did say that i like them while i was trying lots on but i never actually siad that i wanted to but thoses ones, when i said no to her putting them buy for me she got a bit snotty with me, so was having a bit of a panic. they were nice and i tried lots of stuff on in there, but felt that i was expected to buy everything from them! i would say dont let any one push you into buying unless its really the one, if they say its the last theres plenty of dresses to be tried on !!
