    Sammy, from the way you are writing it sounds like you have fallen in love with dress 2 so that is the one for you :)

    It's such a big bonus to be able to take it home for you. Mine is being made but I would love to be able to look at it. It will also mean you can make a decision on shoes, jewellery etc much earlier

    Thanks Horace. I'm on holiday from work this week, so I am going to sleep on it, get in my car in the morning and see which shop it takes me to lol. If I get dress 2 and get to bring it home, I will take a photo and post. Wedding isn't until August next year, so can't wait that long!!!

    Thanks gill. Also, because dress 2 is a two piece, I can take the corset (which is tiny :D ) with me when choosing bridemsaids dresses to make sure I get a great colour match.

    I think my mind is made up too. But the lady at dress 1 was so lovely, even gave me a kiss and a hug when I left!! Great sales technique, I'll have to try that one at work!!

    I paid for mine yesterday and even though they said they would store it for me, I brought it home (just in case). I also brought my tiara and shoes home(to break the shoes in) and can't stop looking at the tiara :D

    I had a similar dilema, 2 dresses to choose between... But there was £700 price difference... The mse in me will be walking down the aisle in a £200 dress, I also found I have fallen more in love with it since I can keep getting it out of the cupboard and looking at it... Or getting my MOH to help me put it on... (no real excuse needed)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Thanks Girls!
    Krystal, when it got down to the two dresses, I thought that because I can't choose then I will base it on price. And then I started playing the 2 shops off each other and now the dresses are the same price.....so that option is out of the window lol.

    Steph, I think I have decided. I have just called the shop with dress 2 and I am going there at noon today to have another try on. I think my heart likes that one more :D I want to make the decision today, and a final decision at that!!!

    Shame about Landy, I wonder why it is down? Have you ordered your dress from there already? I'm thinking of getting my bm dresses there now.

    Hi Sammy. Mine is August 8th next year. What date is yours? We are now under the year mark eek! I am trying so hard not to get it out of the box as it is quite delicate :D

    Now I wish I had brains last night but was feeling dopey, I had the opportunity on Freecycle to get some unworn Alfred Angelo BM dresses in dusky pink only by the time I had made up my mind about them - they had gone (although what I would do with them I haven't a clue).

    Look on freecycle - you never know.

    Good luck with the frock Sammy.
