Serious Shop-Fu
I went dress shopping today. My friend, karen-the-great, came with me to offer moral support and a keen eye. We left Athens at 8 a.m., drove to New Natalie's Bridal in Atlanta (our first scheduled stop), and went in for my 10 a.m. appointment. At 11 a.m., we walked out with my dress (!!!!) and headed to the Mall of Georgia to do a bit of celebratory shopping.
Yes, I walked into a bridal salon and purchased a gown off the rack within 1 hour. It was the third gown I tried on and I knew right away that it was the one. Since it was a floor sample, it needs some (minor) fixin', and since I bought it off the rack, it's a little too big, but that's all OK--with a few simple alterations, the gown will be perfect.
Now to figure out what to do for a veil. I've got my Barbara Abbey lace book out...

yay for easy dress shopping! and there is nothing wrong with knowing what you like/want. I bought the first gown I tried on. I felt compelled to try on a few more, but went home with that very first one.
