Dress Week

http://www.tigerlillyjewelry.com/blog/uploaded_images/Bridezilla-784413.jpg

This week has officially been labeled "Dress Week!"

Over the course of the last 7 days - I have traveled far and wide across Dallas in search of the perfect wedding dress, I have tried on hundreds (yes hundreds) of gowns, and still - no dress. I am on the verge of crazy! Maybe that's because today is Friday and a stressful week at work combined with dress shopping every night is not a good mix. I am ready to crash, but I know I can't give up!

Tomorrow is supposed to me my own personal deadline, or goal to have a dress. I am a bit nervous that this will not be the reality. There are several great dresses in the running but none of them had that "THIS IS IT" feeling that I have expected to have. Do you really KNOW when you find your wedding dress?

So yeah, tomorrow - I am not sure what to do. Go back to stores where I like a few dresses that I would be OK with, or should I try new bridal stores?

ANY ADVICE??

My favorite bridal store is in Fort Worth, Bliss. Fantastic customer service. We have a few other stores so you could make a day of it on the weekend.

My advice - don't settle and don't worry about the self-imposed goal. As much as I love a good goal, sometimes you miss it. This is your wedding dress and one of the few things you should absolutely never, ever settle on.

Tim Gunn's philosophy on all clothing applies even more here - this should be a soul-stirring dress. You will *know* when you've found it. The entire room will know when you've found it.

Good luck!!
