My dear friend and old college roommate, Rosanna, was gracious enough to accompany me dress shopping at Trudy's Bridal in Campbell, CA. She was also very patient, supportive, and took a ton of great photos for me! So, Rosanna, if you're reading this, thank you again!
I still don't think I've found a dress that I like enough to purchase, but Trudy's allowed me to try on more dress styles at different price points. Our consultant, Cheryl, was super patient and pulled a lot of dresses that were similar to what I had printed from the Internet. Overall, Trudy's was a great experience and I'm really glad I went with Rosanna.
Here was our favorite out of the bunch, but I think I'm still on the hunt for something simpler.
I've also realized that my mother doesn't seem to like anything I show her. I'm starting to think of just going it alone in terms of dress shopping from now on because I'm starting to get confused about what I like based on what other people think. I like shopping by myself and don't consult anyone, maybe I can do the same with wedding dresses? But I've heard, more than once, that dress shopping is a stressful experience and that your friends/sisters/anyone else you trust should be there for support. Thoughts?

those dresses are really pretty :) i love looking at wedding dresses and hope you post more. i also love shopping by myself and when i went dress shopping i only took my mom. guess it has to do with who you're comfortable with/whose opinions you value.
You look great! I love the shape of the dress - the trumpet/mermaid style definitely looks great on you!
I wouldn't let my mom come dress shopping with me. No way. I'll pick out a couple of things I like and then bring her to the store. All shopping will be done with my sister and best friends. No mothers allowed.
Thanks girls! It was a total princess dress with a lot of crochet, I thought it was pretty (and so did Rosanna.)
I should probably get on that whole date and place thing before I shop more, but I think it's wise that I consult my mom less and less. She's just way too picky!
Take 1 friend, someone who will give you honest opinions. That's it! I took 2 friends who were honest. When I narrowed it down to 2, they liked both, but they described one as "elegant" and the other as "cinderella". I knew I had to avoid cinderella & go for elegant!!!
