1. I want it kept as a surprise
2. I don't yet have one!
I did go dress shopping with one of my bridesmaids today though. We went to Surrey Brides which is a little bridal shop in Weybridge not too far from where we live. I went knowing that I wouldn't be choosing one as I knew they would be out of my price range. Most of them were around the £1000 mark which we just don't have to spend on a dress. They did have a couple of dresses in the sale which were a bit more in my budget but I didn't fall in love with any of those. What the trip today did help with was knowing what it is I am looking for. I now have quite a clear picture of the style of dress I want.
Our next stop is the UK bridal dress sale! It is happening this weekend coming in several cities across the country. The one nearest to us is Guildford. Me and bridesmaid will be going along on Sunday. They say they have a wide range of designer dresses at half the price. The dresses there are all ex-samples, ex window displays or last in the range. I am quite excited about Sunday although I know that there will be issues to do with alterations by not buying new from a bridal shop.
I am worried about false economy I.e buying a dress on Sunday because it's cheap but then ending up having to pay quite a bit of money later on have it altered to fit properly. If I have no joy on Sunday I have seen another couple of bridal shops which seem to be more in our price range than the one I visited today.
One last point:
It was great fun dressing up in lots of wedding dresses this morning - I felt like a princess!!!
