Dress purchased? Check!

Yesterday I took my mother to Elisa Hamilton in Henley-in-Arden to show her THE dress (it looks nothing like the one above, honest). I tried on a few others first which were gorgeous but just weren't the one and then I tried on THE dress - well my mum loved it as I knew she would. In typical me style I dithered over it for ages - although this did mean that I got to spend longer in the dress, which is always good! The sales assistant was lovely and said if I ordered there and then she would give me a discount and also throw in the veil for free. It wasn't a great deal but I knew it was the best offer I was going to get so even though I have two more appointments booked at other shops to try on different dresses, I went for it.

The dress I have chosen is a gorgeous Sassi Holford creation, it's ivory silk and hand-beaded lace and I have bought the stunning lace shrug to go with it. I love the way it feels on and the way it moves, it really is my dream dress!

I had to pay a 50% deposit which was a shocking amount, lucky I had my VISA handy! So that's that, it's done and decided now and I can plow ahead with wedding plans as I really feel the dress set the "scene". I just can't believe I have to wait so long to actually wear it now!!

love & kisses
