I'm just beginning the search (9 mo's ahead) and will be checking out some designer trunk shows this weekend. I might bring a girlfriend, but otherwise, not sure what to expect.
I'm a pretty low key person, but do no want to go halfway with my dress. I want something stunning, traditional, and classy. I'm being married in a, gulp, cathedral with just famiy and friends, but the dress has to suit the surroundings without me looking ridiculous (no Mariah Carey dress!).
I have no idea what that means my budget should be but I've decided I'm going to splurge on this for myself. That way I won't feel guilty and it's not like I can get the bf's opinion, so this'll be all me: for me, bought by me, and about me (and I'm not a "me" person). It's the only aspect of the wedding that I see being full a decision by me with no outside pressure. Having said that, I don't want to put myself in a financial hole, so I'm going to try to do this for $1K-2K (hopefully 1K!). It's a lot, but I can spend that and still live with myself. Am I being unrealistic?
