I never thought I would be a picky bride. While I do have a hard time making decisions occasionally, I went into this process thinking I would find my gown fairly quickly. A few months, 11 stores, and maybe 100 dresses later I finally have a dress! After exhausting all stores in my city and with appointments in two other cities in the horizon I got a call from one of the consultants I had worked with. The 2012 line was coming through in a trunk show and she wanted to know if I was interetested in checking out the collection. Even though I had an appoointment with my mom in another city in two weeks I thought what the heck. I FOUND IT-I think! Completely completely different than what I thought I wanted and different most of the other dresses I had been trying on. I went from dropped waist, fitted, and sometimes a ruffle bottom to empire waist, a-line/almost ballgowny. And I love it. I am still a little unsure because of the fact that it is SO different than than the other styles I liked so I would love to hear what the bee’s think! I apologize that the images are so huge

That is very pretty! Can you post a pic of yourself so I can envision what it would look like on you?

If you put it on and don’t want to take it off, it’s the one. Forget your pre-conceived notions and let it be. Sometimes what we think we want ends up being wrong, and what we really love ends up surprising us.

omg, I had the same vision of a wedding dress that you originally did, and I ended up with a similar casablanca diamond collection dress that I told the consultant, sure I’ll try – completely on a whim. I didn’t cry or anything, but my cheeks hurt because I couldn’t stop grinning – my mom and sister were pretty amused because I didn’t want to take the dress off and stayed in the dressing room when I should have been changing out of it, just to stare at myself because I was so happy! Isn’t it funny the impact one white dress can have?
Congrats on finally finding it, it’s so elegant!!

@lovekiss: I totally agree with this–that’s how I ended up picking my dress! That, and I couldn’t stop smiling in it.

I felt the same way! I have been hunting for what I thought I wanted and tried this dress on on a whim. Every time I try it on it makes both my mom and I cry. I love it!

This is my dress, too! I’m still waiting for it to come in, so I feel like I forget what it really looks like! Do you have any pictures of yourself in the dress to post? And I had the same problem you did. I went in thinking I wanted something completely different and ended up loving this one.

I am still looking too, I get the feeling I might end up with something very different from what I origianlly wanted as well. I think keeping an open mind is very important. I am finding that after you try on several that are very heavy, a really flowy light dress is really a nice change

@JenniferMm: Hey there, I tried this dress on yesterday and I’m so in love with it! Unfortunately a little out of my price range though! I can’t get it out of my mind and was wondering if you would consider selling it once you have had your big day???

@AliceinW: Hello! I am getting hitched on May 11, 2013 in Indianapolis… I just bought this same gown at Brides by Demetrios and ABSOLUTELY love it! I would definitely be willing to sell it and pass it on after my big day… why not have two fairytale experiences out of one dress?! Mine will be a size 4… message me if you are serious!
