i went to several bridal stores and they vary from low profile stores to intimidating stores that carries gowns as high as $10,000...... in the Philippines it's very common to order for a customized gown but here in the US it's more common to just buy ready to wear gowns...... i take that back, it's not really ready to wear because you still need to order your size and wait 5-6 months before they can give you your gown but it's not custom gown and there's a fat chance that 10 other women have bought the same gown you picked....... that doesn't bother me though.......
so anyway, i tried oh so many gowns.... on all shapes and silhouettes and designer names..........i tried maggie sottero, oleg cassini, vera wang, some davids bridal gowns and pronovias...... i admit, at one point, i got gown ODed (over dosed) that it took me a while before i started trying on gowns again.......... this post would be about all the gowns i tried on and my finalist for my civil wedding gown..... ofcourse i didn't post here the gown that i would wear for my civil wedding (nor the church wedding)......
please be warned that this post is a vanity post, haha...... since i won't get to wear all the gowns that i like i thought it would be fun to show off all those gowns that i was lucky to try on, lol...... if you should know, the reason why these gowns didn't make it is because: 1. i may look good on certain angle but then i'd look like a sack of potato on all other angles or 2. expensive or 3. i'm just not that 100% convinced that i should buy that certain gown or 4. expensive, expensive, expensive......
yes, i took my time...... took photos of the gowns on all angles and took a video of them too so i could watch it at home and can compare each gown better and i would be reminded of how the fabric looks and how it flows......
again, this post is a vanity post showing the different wedding gowns i tried on.........those with * are finalist gowns......don't forget to read the captions to know where they're from.... click the image for better view
p.s.
i will post the gowns i tried on for the church wedding also but not til after the civil wedding....
