Last Saturday, my mom and I went to our local wedding boutique to check out dresses. I didn't see any that I particularly loved but I did get some ideas of what I might like to wear for my special day. I had Mom take some pictures, that's why they're all lopsided.

Click on the picture if you want to see it up close! (Once you see the bigger version, put your mouse over the picture and it should turn into a magnifying glass with a plus sign on it. Click again and it'll be even bigger.)

Oh yeah! Sorry about the bra straps. I forgot to wear a strapless bra.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This dress is one of the first ones I tried on. It's a mock two-piece. I like how the dress is cut at the neckline, but it looked a little too much like a regular prom dress to me. You can't tell in the picture, but it's actually an ivory or cream color. The ladies in the store assured me that it could come in any shade of white though. Plus, it's a little too plain. It's simple, but too simple for me.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This one is a little more poofier, I like the tulle on the outside of the skirt with the embroidery, but I thought this dress made me look more like a flower girl than a bride. The top part of the dress was a little too plain, but I did like how the skirt is attached to the bodice.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I really loved the beading on this dress. I was so frickin' sparkly! The top is almost perfect, especially the heart neckline at the top. The problem is that it's a two piece dress and it's not poofy at the bottom. I didn't really feel like a bride when I was wearing it. I felt more like I should be going to a ball with a bunch of royals at it, you know? Eh. I liked the top :-).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This one is the closest to what I want, but it's still not there. The skirt is awesomely poofy. My waist looks extremely tiny just before the skirt poofs out. I really like the beading and embroidery at the bottom. The bodice was nice, the lace at the bottom of the bodice tended to flip up a little though, and the neck line was too pointy for my taste. I'll have to keep this one in mind. Oh, and it wasn't sparkly enough :-D.

So those are the dresses I've tried so far. What do you guys think?
