Wedding Dress Shopping

I thought that wedding dress shopping was going to be a lot of fun. It was the activity that I think I was most excited about after I got engaged. It was not that fun in actuality. My friend Liz had a really great experience at David's Bridal, and I thought that my shopping trip would be like hers, but my consultant was too busy for me and was also helping someone else at the same time, it was busy season. She kept bringing me things that I didn't like or I didn't want that style or really cheap things and it was just awful, I felt so overwhelmed and just unhappy.

I had a much better experience at a local boutique but still had a hard time even finding a dress I liked until my second time because I didn't realize what style I wanted.
I do not like fit and flare type dresses on me or dresses that pouf out to high up, I like ballgowns that flare out right after natural waist. My advice for dress shopping is to look at a lot of magazines before hand and try on a few different styles to find out what you like on yourself then go from there.

here are some pictures of dresses I tried and didn't like...
