Then when she REALLY went dress shopping, she only brought me (maid of honor), because she knows that I will give her an honest opinion and help out but let her make the decision.<br /><br />I will probably bring my mom and my maid of honor (the aforementioned best friend, I'm sure) and maybe my (future) fiance. I'm not very traditional and his opinion matters so much to me.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14294225883979351771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-20865976448459907722010-08-11T21:23:50.427-05:002010-08-11T21:23:50.427-05:00Also, the bride is all sorts of amazing!

I refused. We had a guest list of 500+ and had a budget of $10k, which is NOT a lot, that's actually really low. We managed to do the wedding under $7K, with money left over! My dress was custom made for free! My bridesmaid's got their dresses from eBay for $20 (seriously!) and they loved it.Diana https://www.blogger.com/profile/17224404867214558821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-9511089747361089462010-08-11T13:36:11.983-05:002010-08-11T13:36:11.983-05:00I literally only had two weeks from the day my now...I literally only had two weeks from the day my now husband proposed to me (over the phone) to the day we said "I do." (He's in the military and was being stationed in Korea) So, I took my two best friends with me (they have been my best friends since 7th grade; we are now pushing 28) to an outlet mall and they patiently followed me from store to store as I tried on any and all dresses I could get my hands on. I ended up with the simple little green number from The Gap. My bff's were fabulous that day. They told me completely honestly if something didn't look good on me. When I tried on the green dress and said I thought that was the one they said it looked great on me and if it made me happy then that was the dress for me! <br /><br />I was so thankful I took them and no one else with me! I would say take the person, or people, you know will be supportive of what you like but will also tell you the truth if something doesn't look flattering. There is nothing worse than looking back at your pictures and wondering why someone didn't tell you that your dress did not look good!megan p.http://peacockevolution.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-19140424796744433802010-08-11T13:14:37.289-05:002010-08-11T13:14:37.289-05:00congrats on reaching a thousand followers!

My Mom did not go the first time and didn't even know that I had gone to look! She wasn't so happy about us getting married. But she did see the dress I picked out in the store the day I bought it.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301106062748343945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-24010486838794875812010-08-11T12:31:05.159-05:002010-08-11T12:31:05.159-05:00I took just my Mum with me when it came to buying ...I took just my Mum with me when it came to buying the dress. Then before the wedding only the ladies in the shop, my Mum, My Mum's friend and my best friend knew what it looked like. <br /><br />My Mum's friend made me a handmade handbag to go with my dress - so she needed to know what it looked like. <br /><br />My best friend was seriously poorly (she had an appendectomy that went wrong and at one point the doctors didn't think she was going to survive), I made the decision that I would show her a picture of me in my dress in the store - firstly in case she didn't get to see me in it on the day (that would have been heartbreaking) and secondly as like a bribe she had to get better so that she could see me in it properly. <br /><br />She got better and was there on the day!
