When it comes to shopping for wedding dresses, you might think I’d be somewhat of an expert. But I learned a surprising lesson when I went “second time” wedding dress shopping (at Kleinfeld!) with five other married Glamour girls.
BRIDE NO. 2: Me!
WHAT I WORE: Lia by Melissa Sweet
WHAT I TRIED
Wedding Dress 1: Yolan Cris
Halter A-Line Gown in Silk Satin (Style 32822843) by Yolan Cris.
Wedding Dress 2: Vivienne Westwood Anyone recognize this dress? Anyone?
Yes, I know I look bananas here, but when they told me they had the Sex and the City movie dress, obviously I jumped into it. Sweetheart A-Line Gown in Satin (Style 32953184) by Vivienne Westwood.
Wedding Dress 3: Pnina Tornai This was my “Hell, No” Dress, for sure. But Petra basically forced me to try it on. And then they almost had to pry it off me.
Sweetheart Sheath Gown in Beaded Embroidery (Style 32976003) by Pnina Tornai.
WHAT I LEARNED:
“My mom—an all-business accountant—came down from Rhode Island for a wedding-dress-shopping blitz. I wound up with a wedding dress I loved, but, frankly, I didn’t enjoy the process very much. This time around, I had so much FUN. I wish I had been a little more chill during my first go. If I could do it all again, I think I would have packed in fewer appointments. And sipped a little more champagne.”
Let’s discuss how hard I’m laughing here. And how fantastic the rear view on this dress is.
Which of these wedding dresses do you like best for yourself? For me?
